[Closed] Things you simply cannot bring yourself to pay for.

Car park car washes: Yeah. Sure. I'll let you fek my paint up with dirty water and a gritty cloth so you can remove most of the dirt and fleece me for £5. I'll do it myself thanks
Or alternatively in recent weeks: Do you REALLY think I'm actually PAYING you to half clean my car that I only paid £400' for? That rust is holding it together you know!

I won't pay for:

You, your wife, your kids.
Burgers from BK.
School fees.
MrsBouys shoes/handbags.
Bad wine, I mean over priced supermarket wine full of sulphites.
Cadburys chocolate (cough, sorry I used the word chocolate to describe cadburys)
Anything from Asda, Tesco, Morrisons.
Cheap cheese.
Cheap milk.
Drainage for the farm.
Bad service in restaurants.
Baked potatoes ( I don't like them)
Bin bags ( I use cplastic bags from shops and those free clothing bags posted through my door)
Vodka.
Clams, lobster, muscles, shrimp (I have developed an illergic reaction to gods own food, I'm not a happy buoy about that)
Kebabs.
Interior designers.
Builders.

We all pay for sex,

Coffee in big paper containers
Poor service
Trousers from anywhere but Howies

MBR

I was born with nothing and I still have most of it left

Tap water in a pub/cafe

You men moaning about the cost of hair cuts, should try being a woman. The cheapest I can get away with is £25 and that's a cut without the blow

Parking fees in motorway services for more than 2 hours, when the matrix signs repeatedly tell you not to drive tires and take a break - 2hr10 min snooze £90

The cheapest I can get away with is £25 and that's a cut without the blow

Am sure if you do the blow someone will do the cut in exchange 😉

without the blow

Nothing worse than no blow

^^^ bugger and I thought I got in there with the witty humour first

Women paying £150 for Ugg boots. Wow.

Bargain, round here blow's £75/gram!

Paying to access to my cash, be it for use of a cash machine or being charged for using a credit card.

Wifi. Especially in a hotel room costing close to £200 p/n

Tv license / sky

I can't bring myself to pay for prepackaged fruit n' veg in tesco's, fleecing money grabbing barstewards, they are in my town anyway as we only have an "ickle" tesco express and they've stopped doing loose fruit/veg etc, it's all bagged and pre-packed thus dearer than buying it loose. They take great offence when i rip the bags open and take what i want to the checkout for them to weigh rather than buying 3 ****in red onions in a red net bag for £1.40, of course the folk at the checkout don't have the correct price code so they can't sell me them thus i leave a pile of loose veg n' fruit sitting on the checkout...every bloody night this week i've tried to buy what i want but they will not sell me it?.

They've only started to do this pre-packaged thingy in the past week or so and don't say shop elsewhere, i stay in a rural town in Galloway so nae choice anywhere...unless i drive to the big tescos 11miles away to buy my loose fruit n' veg but why should our small town pay extra?, and why should i waste a gallon of petrol on a return journey?.....next time i do it, so that's t'morns night then, according to the manager he's apparently going to call the police and get me removed from the store.....****in hope so......my pal is the photographer for the local news paper and she's gonna wait outside and take the picture so watch this space...if it happens t'morns night i'll make headlines.

Pick n mix at the cinema. In fact anything at the cinema. In fact even going to the cinema. Bollocks, I'm buying the DVD from Amazon.

You know, I'd have been so impressed with you for that one if I didn't know where you nicked it from. 😀

Any excuse:

good luck somafunk, the so called free market working right up yer, they will obviously fight this one, high profits involved,whenever they are the only show in town different conditions are imposed, and prices......i think its our moral duty to take from them as they do upon us...

Bottled water - ****t tax
Coffee from places like Starpucks
Football matches
Phones (beyond the basic ones)
Cars (beyond the basic ones)
Haircuts - 10 mins with my own clippers does me

Just about anything with Specialized or Mavic written on it

Fresh fruit and Vegas so overpriced!
If the government thinks everyone should eat healthier, then it should be cheaper than shite!

Besides, that's why all loose fruit/veg is onions or potatoes at big supermarkets 8)

Fresh fruit and Vegas so overpriced!

yeah man.. those slots put the fear and loathing in me for sure..

Hair cuts : no way am I paying 40-odd quid. You go in, tell them what you want, and they ignore you and do what they want. I cut my own thanks.
Rapha clothing, yes it is very nice and I could afford it, but no way, I'm not paying that price for it.

Subscription TV
Tabloid Newspapers
Chain Fast Food

Most other things get assessed on a basis of cost, value & need.

If I'm thirsty and there is only a shop selling water I'll buy it. Generally don't - unless it's for beer making.

Parking fees in motorway services for more than 2 hours, when the matrix signs repeatedly tell you not to drive tires and take a break - 2hr10 min snooze £90
People actually pay these?

A round. Whats the point? I wont get a shag out of it 😆

swinley parking charge, all goes to the council.
bedgebury parking charge
mobile phone charges, redirected to a tax haven of the carriers choice.
bt, tax payers pre 1982 paid for the network, wht do we have to pay a monthly charge to maintain it.
baggy shorts

Ice in bags.

Has no one said lottery tickets? (notwithstanding the dude on here the other day who won 20k of course...) -stealth tax on the poor.

Kindle books (that in the magnificently efficient process of converting to kindle format, hosting, selling and downloading via the world's cheapest media website) somehow still have enough "value added" that they cost the same as the real book that has been physically printed (materials, press, employees), distributed (lorry, fuel, employee), put on a shelf in a bricks and mortar shop (rent, fittings, utilities) and sold to you by an employee with wages to pay. One great big "WTF?" about that.

Car parking , thought I'd be the only one, but not and that includes Swinley. Thats why Broadmoor has a lower carpark thats free 5 mins away.
Haircuts. I somehow have to ( indirectly) pay for the wife and 2 kids to be cut and although the hairdresser is a hunny, I bought some shears for a tenner and 2 yrs later still hack well.

Posh watches, Porsches, Bang n Olufsen TVs or any other things that would mark me out as a city w***** (I do a good enough impression already)

And of course Sky and the Daily Mail, but that goes without saying

Thats why Broadmoor has a lower carpark thats free 5 mins away.

broadmoor has a car park for its staff and visitors, not for mountainbikers. word from broadmoor staff is they might start letting the patients out to destroy cars that dont display staff permits as a new therapy 😉

Oooh, I love the sound of sirens in the mornings, if they let them out. If they get the cob on, then back to the carpark in the high street, another 5mins on the journey.

I refuse to pay for the privilege, and it is a fantastic privilege, of listening to you lot whine and whinge.

Oh wait - I don't.

They don't, usually they are £1-2 off.

Any idea how much Amazon costs to run?

Any idea if the publishers/authors get a bigger cut?

I hate paying for a sandwich lunch - a packed lunch is much tastier and contains what I want... and probably cost a few quid max...
Screw paying £8 for day old sarnies and a bag of crisps!

DrP

No i think Amazon use the extra profit to help old ladies and feed the poor 🙄

I refuse to pay for parking outside my own house just because someone from the council has decided to graffiti all over the road something about 'residents only'.

Paying £2.50 just to enter a tent of vintage cycles that were due to auctioned later that day. I wonder how many people did pay?

barristers fees...how can they sleep at night knowingly fleecing people? mine was going to cost £1000, she would have done 3 cases that day, 3 grand for a days work?

Good time to bring this up: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19438088

at the end of the article:

Vue Cinemas, where a regular popcorn and soft drink costs £8.25, say food and drink is an optional extra and customers are free to take their own snacks in.

A spokesman adds: "Vue's pricing of retail items is in line with other out-of-home entertainment venues."

I am going to print that out and next time I go to the cinema take a big tub of home made popcorn and a nice home made smoothie and some malteasers bought from somewhere else!
