Uber eats, DoorDash etc up charges and fees set me off. I’ve used the service once. I go back every once in awhile and then end up picking it up myself.


this one gets me. when those service came out they werent that bad. now the fees, driver tips, processing charges, magic bean surcharge, etc almost doubles your food cost. not worth it anymore.

Not to mention the rude drivers and cold food that's been thrown around in the backseat of a car.

Food delivery service sucks. I just go pick it up myself.

its the request for tipping like stated above.

I’m a good tipper but I hate with a fiery passion tipping some pos before I’m even served. On a side note, where we get our haircut the lady swipes the card and she chooses the no tip option. I’m going to tip very well the next time.

25-30 bucks (plus tip) for a simple men's haircut.


Been growing my beard out for a couple months so I went to a new place that grooms beards as well.

All the dude did was put some lines in, didn't even trim my beard. With the haircut it was $75 after tip. His freaking tip options were 25, 30, and 35%. When did those become the three options to choose from. Wasn't even a good cut either.

Started going to a girl that does a better cut and actually trims my beard for $20 plus tip.

$200 bucks to drop off trash at the landfill, and its only open for two hours every Saturday morning.


Yeesh. Is this just your regular trash? We're dropping construction materials (shingles, wood, brick, etc) daily and it's about $75-115 depending on the weight. You need to look at a different landfill, there's bound to be another one that isn't too far off to make it worth the drive.

And they've unionized where we live. They're all in Facebook groups sharing what they charge. Randomly all 3 of the girls we use went from $20 to $25 within a month of each other.

When the Mrs. and I want to go out for a while, it's prohibitively expensive.

Emergency room services set me off.
Got 10 stitches in my finger and the bill was $5500.
Insurance paid most of it my part was $1500 which would be an acceptable price for the whole procedure.

Basic hotels that charge resort fees for things that normal hotels offer for free. Thanks for giving me free wifi, in room coffee, and access to your generic pool for an extra $25/night.

Just off the top of my head.. Drink prices at bars.. I like to have a few with friends on Saturdays. Can't find happy hour prices on Saturdays near me. I did find a place that has a great happy hour but it is during the week... I hate drinking during the week.

I am not paying 6 to 8 bucks for well liquor.

My place has gone from $35 to $55 in the last 2 years. Absolutely infuriating. Takes them 20 minutes to cut my hair. It's insanely simple. I'd move, but it's so damn convenient for me and I love the girl who cuts my hair.


I’m guilty of this, like most, but when push comes to shove I’d bail on my best friend that cuts my hair if I needed to

Vehicle insurance cost in La is what kills me the most. We are a family of four with no history of any kind and it's still $730 a month with modest vehicles. One of which is 12 years old.

The other thing that I see that is funny is a case of water at the store is $3.75. At the gas station, that same water is $2 a bottle.
