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.

The work canteen (which used to be dirt cheap) sell 'make your own toast' for 60p a slice, £1.25 if you want a topping ie. Jam, peanut butter.

The bread is nothing special.

...

It was a light hearted comment, what's with the rudeness?

Why no laugh emoji? 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

£112 to see Take That in 2011.
My dn didn’t want to go so I said I’d buy her ticket as Robbie Williams was appearing with them.
The best part of the night was The Pet Shop Boys who were the warm up act.

Paying £4000 for a recliner from Oak Tree Mobility!
They must have seen me coming!
Has anyone felt ripped off by them

We sold our 2year old, mobile home/ static caravan. We had to hand over 20% of the sale price to the site owners.
The money would have furnished our new home and we wouldn't have had to spend months sleeping on an airbed and sitting on borrowed bean bag chairs.. We were very young and very green and had no idea when we bought it.

Haha yes I should have added an emoji

Last week, paid £45 for a bottle of wine in a restaurant that was £12 in Sainsburys.

Takes the p$%s - sorry couldnt resist

I think a LOT of people feel cheated/hard done by after voting for those clucking clowns!

$74 for two cocktails in Washington.

To be fair it was a bar that had a view of the White House but the bar wasn’t special
and neither were the cocktails!

£9 for a fluorescent pink bandage for one of my cats, this was probably about 15 years ago after she hurt her paw. She pulled it off about five minutes after getting home, the little cow.

At the time it seemed an awful lot for a bit of material but looking at prices now, I dread to think what it would have cost as I didn't pay a consultation fee back then.

That's v expensive, my vet is a saint only ever seems to want €30 for that type of thing . This makes me appreciate him even more

Had 4 kittens booked in for neutering. They said they had to have a precheck. Took all 4 in for the check and they charged me just under £50 per kitten.. just to look them over, whole appointment was less than 5 minutes. They didn;t check tummies or teeth or anything. I was distraught but had my disabled son with me and didnt want to upset him to cause a fuss. I'm still upset about it VETS4PETS - Hull. bastards!

We did find a hotdog stand which could be described as 'reasonable value' at £6 for an extremely large and good quality 🌭 😆

But yes, on the whole it's quite shockingly expensive!

£18 for a pint of lime and soda in a hotel in Whitby in 2021. They charged me £2 for the lime cordial and 2x £8 for 2x half pints of soda. I did not drink it and nearly poured it over his head!

£26 for a Singapore Sling cocktail at Raffles in Singapore - in 2005, God knows what it costs now.

My DH bust 2 tyres on a whopping pothole on the way to work at 10pm on Easter Sunday 3 years ago, (when he was on the way to his night shift,) and we had to get someone to go rescue him/change the tyres. He was 9 miles from work - 6 miles from home. The only 24 hour callout who would answer the phone came to him and charged £475 for the double time out of hours job. We were like 😱 It's a 2015 Astra, not a big fancy car!

But.... I put in a complaint/claim with the council as they knew about it as there was a white line painted around it. Took 7 weeks but we got the full £475 back.

My dog was unwell, had a tiny amount of blood in his urine so Vet put him into antibiotics (dog is 12). Emergency appointment cost £175 as they did a urine sample too.
Only said antibiotics ripped through his gut, giving him sickness and diarrhoea so bad he had to go onto a drip. We've had 2 blood tests, 1 stool analysis, more antiobiotics, steroids, tummy paste and painkillers plus the inpatient treatment and 5 consultations. Bill currently stands at £1200.... and he's not insured as it was stupid money per month due to an existing heart condition/arthritis.

Yeah I thought it was funny anyway! 😘

£285 on geriatric blood tests for the 10 yr old cat who’d been drinking much more than normal - nothing showed up, if anything vet felt he was in good nick for his age. Then I had a day off a few days later and noticed the arsehole spent all day lying at the bottom of the radiator. He was just thirsty after getting too hot - moron.

My £103 monthly water bill for two adults and two very small children.

Well I’ve looked at these posts, crunched the numbers and here are my recommendations:
Don’t keep a pet
Don’t t go out for drinks- a tin of beer in a brown paper bag in the park is an acceptable substitute
Don’t bother with gigs - just use Spotify
Avoid anyone who tries to upsell - make up counters, hairdressers especially dangerous
