What's the most ripped off you have ever felt?

[coulditbeme2323]

Now I don't mean something that was expensive but you really enjoyed, but where you felt ripped off.

I'll start.

26 euros for two Sprite's in Paris.

And this was circa 2014.

An extra £2 for the butter to go on my roll. The roll came with the bowl of soup I had ordered. This was in 1994, I still haven’t got over it.

Something like £800 for the digital copies of a photoshoot that we were GIFTED!

I know we could have chosen to walk away with the 1 free 6x4 but DH got carried away.

Friend of mine had something similar

She'd taken her 12 year old dd and 7 year old autistic ds into a shop to have a look

Ds fell in love with a jellycat (not sure which one) and the assistant said they had a much bigger one and thrust it at him

Of course he wanted it so she said 'ok' and went to the till

£500!

She said 'no,you can put it back!' to filthy looks from the assistant and one screaming ds

Poor kid was so upset-who does that to a child?

I would have been raging, that is absolutely terrible customer service. This is what sales targets do to people’s morals.

There's no way I'd have thought £30 would be enough!

Kids have to learn they can't have everything they want. I'd have explained that I couldn't afford that, and I have done in the past

£600 vet bill to be told the cat was “pining” for my youngest son!!!

£4000 on a break to a boogie hotel in Italy that had staff that were struck down with Norovirus and kindly shared it with us on day 2 😩

Industry awards dinner at the Park Lane Hilton. Main course was lamb shank, mash, veg, gravy. Veggie option was half a cauliflower, roasted. No sauce, no rub, no jus, no gravy, no flavouring of anything at all. About 2 new potatoes, no other veg for the veggies, because we had veg apparently.

Picked DD17 up in an unfamiliar small city last month and she went to the wrong carpark.Ended up driving around in circles trying to find her.2 weeks later I recieved 2 fines - one for driving in a taxi/bus drop off road at the station and one for driving back out of it 1 minute later.£35 each way.

Same, dh and I had lunch at dalaman airport and it was about £40 for 2 sandwiches, 1 packet of crisps and 2 bottles of water.
and we were expecting it too 😂
Editited to add that of course we also bought more food on the plane and it seemed comparatively much better value!

Also, the Zoe app a few years ago.So many people told me how life changing it was.£££ to eat some gross cookies just to be told veg, legumes and protein are good for me and that UPFs and sugar are not.Total rip off.

Shame I didn’t edit that post above for spellings 🫣

I was going to mention there too.
There wasn’t a huge amount in the bag, around the amount you get in a share bag from a supermarket, and it weighed in at around £10. Told them no thanks and put my card away.

The entire experience of Cadbury World. I don’t know how they get away with it. Not yet RTFT but I will

Yes - horrendous. This is quite a long time ago though. Small little bits of chocolate - constant queuing to go round very few demonstrations and a 3 minute “ride” that looked like it had been made on Blue Peter. It did say the “ride” was being refurbed soon.

I also didn’t rate Legoland and thought I would die climbing that big hill, didn’t realise there was a ride you could take to the top 🤦‍♀️

I took DD to Cadbury World 32 years ago. It was amazing value for money back then and we got a huge bag of free chocolate as we went round. Plus the shop was all half price chocolates, from bars to big posh boxes. No fairground type rides at all, apart from a toddler sized roundabout. The factory tour took a few hours and was really interesting. DD is 40 this year and still has happy memories of Cadbury World. What a shame its gone to shit.

@thenightskyI went in about 09, I would say, so that’s a steep depreciation

£9.50 for 2 calipos and a cup of tea at legoland last weekend.
It doesn't seem steep in comparison to some of these comments, but for someone who normally carries a hot drinks flask of tea and freezes a thermos to fill with tip tops or mini milks for a day out, I felt aghast 🙄

80 euros for the tiniest steak ever, which must have weighed no more than 2 ounces in Santorini.

Yes, even the Cadburys/Lindt outlet shops are the same price as you'd pay in the supermarkets. Used to be able to get some good bargains in them but not any more

Similar here came down one Sunday morning cat wasn't moving at all, rushed to vets kept in for 5 days on drip etc - turns out she was constipated - but they wanted 1,200e for the week treatment. Husband kicked up a stink and got it down to 700e. That was over 10 years ago now so god only knows how much it is today, now more clued in before i rush to the vets

Normally I agree-but hes autistic and very black and white

In his head,mum had said he could have it,he doesn't 'get' money and saw the bigger version of the one he wanted rather than the smaller one (which would have been fine until a massive one was handed to him)

She ended up phoning me in tears and I dont blame her

Taking my 8yr old DGD to cinema - £44 just for the tickets… FORTY FOUR POUNDS!!!

Paying a solicitor. Absolute rip off - 150 pounds to send a bloody letter!
