@itsaprilstewart: At some point we stopped asking “why is this allowed?” and just started calling it normal. Hidden subscriptions. Convenience fees. Paying to access things we already bought. Childcare that can rival rent. Debt disguised as “4 easy payments.” Fees for not having enough money. And somehow the consumer is expected to read every line, catch every charge, know every policy, dispute every mistake, cancel at exactly the right time, and never miss a thing. That’s not convenience. That’s a full-time job. What’s something we’ve normalized that makes you genuinely mad when you stop and think about it? I want the ones people don’t talk about enough. #ConsumerTok #CostOfLiving #ThingsWePretendAreNormal #adulting #UnsolicitedOpinions
Paying for commercial free streaming when the reason for getting streaming was because it was commercial free.

Why are ears dental and eyes not included with general health insurance. Healthcare is barely included in the cost of healthcare 😒

I recently had a fender bender (not my fault) and filed a claim for $2;500. First one in 10 years. They informed me my premium would go up 25%. You gotta be kidding me. Penalized for using what I pay for.

The fact that senate and congress members do not contribute to SS and have a private retirement plan that cannot be touched. How am I allowing someone collect, and use my money when they have no vested interest in making sure the plan stays funded and functional?

Purchasing a vehicle, then having to have a subscription to access the features you purchased it for. Then having to hire someone for simple fixes because they placed the battery in an absurd place under everything. Then having to pay that repair shop for hours of labor because that battery change takes them 2 or 3 hours to replace

We pay all kinds of insurance and don't get a cent back at the end of the year if we didn't need to file a claim or go to a doctor and then every year those bastards restart our deductible!!!
