I resent paying the exorbitant cable company fees and they keep raising them and then they include all these horrible channels that are worthless.  Then, they keep taking away channels you like and expect you to pay more to get them back!  I also resent paying such high amounts for water.  Heating and electric bills are atrocious as well.  DH and I try to watch but still they are very high.  I am glad believe me that we have these things and can pay them but we are far from rich!  Also, many times when we have to get medical tests, even though we have supplemental insurance, we still end up paying quite a bit.  I also dislike paying the high prices for getting someone to do anything related to yard work. DH and I do all that we can in this area but it's getting harder and harder and people charge so much!  I realize they are just trying to make a living as well, but it's shocking how much they charge!  And even finding someone to do any of this is difficult as well!  Another thing I used to resent paying for was when you would go out expecting to have a nice dinner and the food and service turned out really below average.

Really resent cable,esp. when the choices are so poor.

I think those things associated w/medical things are reallly high,but when you need it,you need it.

I can't afford the prices that the eye doctors and vision stores charge.  I have been buying my glasses on line at Zenni for probably 6 years!  I wear bifocals and have not had one problem with them.  When I get my eye exam and get my prescription from the eye doctor's vision office, I ask them to write the pupillary distance, etc. on my prescription and explain to them that I am ordering my glasses on line.  They so far have never given me any issue with that!  You could always try a very cheap pair of frames just to see how you do.  I believe there is a return period, but I'm not sure.  You would have to go on line and see.  This last pair that I purchased from them are so lightweight and comfortable!  And I have gotten a lot of compliments on them.  I have also referred several family members and friends and they have all been pleased.

There is only one thing for me and that is local school taxes since I do not have any kids!

Capital gains taxes!

All of the weird, add-on fees that come with a rental car. They add a good 30% to the total cost of renting and you can't decline or negotiate away any of them. Believe me, I've tried many, many times!

The words FUN...FUNERAL... GREAT...Depression, GREAT War, nothing Fun or Great about them. The high cost is not Fun to pay a thousand dollars to put the dirt over your loved one after they put them in the ground, along with the prices of everything that goes along with it. The body stays, and the spirit soars, so i tried to remember that when picking out worldly things that just decay, when i know that person is no longer there. I, want to be mindful, but i think they take advantage of the living.

Taxes . Resent  paying taxes when the money is pilfered  by scam  artists such as all the fake  unemployment  scams in the recent news or where politicians  pass pork bills to line their pockets or their buddies at the expense of regular hard working people.
