What is something you really resent paying for?

I REALLY hate paying for streaming when all I want are the local channels! I don't care, for the most part, for all this other stuff they put out there. All I want are the local channels.

I've always felt this way too, just let me pay for the channels I like to watch.

Well, I finally got rid of Directv, and now purchase Philo monthly for only $20.
They have all the channels I like, and prefer to watch. Everything from Hallmark to Investigation ID.
And many more....I think there's 60-65 channels. And music.

I am finding out I like Pluto, and I am doing without Hulu for the next 6 months. I like my local channels.
 
air for my car tires. some of the air pumps want 25 cents for a measly little bit of time to air maybe one or two tires if you're fast enough. it's used for donating but it still ticks me off. i don't like being nickled and dimed by places for the sole purpose of emptying my bank account.

Credit card fees. Unless you pay the full amount due at the close of the accounting, you are charged exorbitant fees for a number of things. I ditched mine ages ago.

I agree!
I have at least 6 credit cards, for most airlines and hotel chains.
I pay the balance each month, have been for at least 20 years.
I use to work for a credit card processor and they had a name for people that paid in full every month, 'Deadbeats'. The only time I loved being called a deadbeat!
I've accumulated almost 2 million hotel points. Used 800K for two 10 day trips to Maui, pus so much free stuff.
Love credit cards. When I get my bill each month I look at the fees and interest, and it is always zero.
If you can't pay them off every month, you got to be very careful with them.

Yes! I remember when it was free.
Many moons ago.

I resent paying exorbitant property taxes. At some point, I'd at least like to see elderly seniors get a discount or be put on a sliding-scale plan. As taxes keep going up, they can eventually force us out of the homes that we worked so hard to pay off and hoped to keep for the duration of our lives.

I thought the voters in Ohio voted on their school taxes?

Here in Perth there are still plenty of servos where pumping up the tyres is free.
Some stations have the detachable apparatus in the store and can only be accessed if fuel is bought.
