2. $44 for an oil change in my vehicle. I should have done it my self for half that amount
3. $620 down payment for car insurance on a new car
4. And lastly the price of gas! Damn!
As a disclaimer I am a cheap person...

But that's not a really good example.

$7?!?
That's madness! Did it at least come with a lime or lemon? If not, that's horrible dude. Horrible...
Here's my story, anyway: when I was in central Australia with my family, there was one place that was quite cut off from everywhere else. There was only one place we could go for for dinner. It costed us $15 for a small-ish pizza and $5 for a 250mL coke!

AMIRIGHT guys!? Drink yourself a real beer!
£7.50 for a cinema ticket at my local cinema is downright absurd and more expensive than London. Plus, it's always full of morons!
The most ridiculous bill of all is a TV licence. Something stupid like £125 just to own a TV - even if you own it purely for games consoles!

The BBC through it's wholly owned subsidiary TV Licensing use scare tactics to enforce the fee. They have a list of every address in the country & it flags those without a licence, they then bombard these households with threatening letters to try & enforce the licence fee. They also have detector vans & investigation officers who knock on doors.

As seen as they axed my favourite BBC Radio show last year, I can only think of Never Mind The Buzzcocks as something I ever use the BBC service for. I could well do without having to pay triple figures just to watch that. I was going to go on Dragon's Den with a TV that couldn't pick up the BBC, though I guess that wouldn't go down to well on a BBC programme.

16 years, 8 months ago at Sep 2 19:20 - FOUR QUID FOR A PINT?! I WAS OUTRAGED!
That and yes, the tv license is a complete and utter joke. I would rather sit through 3 minutes of adverts every half an hour than for out 130 quid for the privilege of watching 3 minutes of BBC adverts instead!!!! "Later on BBC1 SOME SHIT WE FORCED YOU TO PAY FOR YA MUG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" As GA said, most of the shows you like suddenly get canceled! I believe you have to have one for a tv card on your PC now, I saw someone being questioned in PC world because they bought one, and PC world had to take down their address on a database so the BBC could make sure the guy wasn't a liar!

16 years, 8 months ago at Sep 2 21:10 - $456 for some suck-ass tires that don't even stick to the road. Then clerk at the counter tried to get me to sign up for some credit card bullshit, saying it was free. Except where they send you a bill for the interest fee, and so on. That ain't free. If I was more prone to making a scene I would've gone off about it not being free and to stop trying to feed me shit. Also, a $300 ticket for alledgedly tailgating someone.

16 years, 8 months ago at Sep 3 1:18 - Well, I also couldn't find my registration papers. I'm sure that bumped the ticket up too. I forgot that I left them in the trunk of the car the day before. But that's beside the point.
