on the problem of what they fee the service, textual content MESSAGES are the biggest rip off. It would not fee the phone service any extra to deliver a textual content than it does to make a telephone call. yet you get limitless telephone calls yet ought to pay for textual content messages lower than many plans. Why is it that they cost you extra for a service you're already figuring out to purchase? So even as which couldn't be the biggest fee you've, that's certainly the biggest rip off in words of fee as against promoting fee. And in simple terms to the printer ink party (this is faulty, by the way). Inks should be formulated to face up to heating to three hundred tiers, vaporization, and being squirted at 30 miles in preserving with hour, at a cost of 36,000 drops in preserving with 2d, by a nozzle one 0.33 the dimensions of a human hair. after all that it ought to dry just about excellent now on the paper. The technologies in in the present day's Photosmart 8250 makes use of three,900 nozzles to provide 122 million drops in preserving with 2d onto the paper. So the technologies of the cartridge that you ought to purchase each and every time is likewise part of that fee.

I always thought cable tv- what I mean by this is that I think the cable comp should let you choose your channels and charge accordingly- like if I only wanted 6 instead of the 200 I have now- I'll never watch the golf channel or something educational-haha!
Also, my cable comp charges $26 each time for what they call a "trip charge" I usually get it removed- but whatever!

The biggest ripoff by far is automobile insurance. You pay monthly for it, then, when you need it, the company denies your claim, or pays substantially less than they promised to pay when you bought it and either dumps you or increases your monthly premium to recover their loss..
You're even a bigger sucker if you have your automobile insurance and homeowner's insurance with the same company. They will dump both policies if you make even a small claim on your automobile for example if it is stolen.
Life insurance is also a ripoff because they use the circumstances of your death to refuse to pay the policy amount even if the circumstances of your death were completely beyond your control, which is usually the case.
A friend of mine who sells insurance once told me, "Insurance companies don't make billions of dollars by paying out benefits. They do it by collecting monthly premiums."
They have armies of lawyers paid to find every loophole, every excuse, any reason whatsoever not to pay the benefit amount on any given insurance policy. Need I say more?

Auto Insurance.
I think that if you don't have an accident/ticket for the year of your policy you should get 1/3 of your money back. I think Insurance companies are a legal way to rob people. And if you do need to file a claim it is like pulling teeth to get this people to honor their part of the deal.

I like henry26889 answer. I think it's cab fares. They raise prices on you for something or another and have to balls to look at you with a straight face. The bastards. Oh and what about the US postal service. The want to raise prices of stamps again. They are never really satisfied. then there is food. You go to one supermarket and find something for 5 bucks and you go to another and they sell the same thing for more or less. Shouldn't it be one standard price. Please don't get me started because your going to hate me for the essay.

The organized church is by far the biggest scam ever.
Did you know that the Vatican has a net worth over 8 BILLION dollars!!!
That should make any Christian sick to their stomachs...considering that almost 50% of Christians are starving right now!!!
