Tempted to say paying taxes, but in the spirit of a potentially fun post I will kick off with clambering for the yearly smart phone upgrade
EDIT: being p*ssed before lunch time isn't great on typing skills. [Post edited 9 Aug 2019 11:47]

I'd replace 'everyone' with 'idiots' in that example |  |

Indeed, a never ending series of fixed-term contracts for keeping up with the Jones is silly, stumping up the fee outright is barely any better. | |

My mate used to want to upgrade every time a new iPhone was released. He's rattle off a series of spec changes which made no difference at all to how he would use the phone. He was a bit obsessed with status symbols though. I must admit I have had a £30 contract phone for the last 4 years or so because I got decent Black Friday deals but this year i'll be looking for a sim only £10 deal. | |

I ended up getting out of the Samsung/iPhone cycle myself and got an Xperia for £150 with a sim only plan that works just as well, I only upgraded my last phone of about 5 years as the fixed battery only lasted about 8 hours, not ideal for running a pocket office. | |

Using 'doesn't' when the noun is plural.
What kind of knobsocket would do that. |  |

When in a group of mates in the pub and everyone has bought their round assuming it has to go back to the first person to buy a round. Once you’re all even then anyone can start the round off again surely? STOP LOOKING AT ME |  | | |

I love the iphone and how user friendly they are. I'll happily pay for one but I don't need the latest one every update. Anything north of £30 a month seems excessive, and even that is a lot. Dropping from £360 a year to £120 when you're happy with your handset seems a no brainer to me. | |

On that theme I would say us making a round trip which takes 6 hours to watch 90 minutes of football.

Taking advantage of a BOGOF but then throwing the free one away as it's gone past the sell-by date. |  |

People who pay for speedy boarding on planes despite having allocated seats. Particularly good when there’s a shuttle bus between gate and plane. | | | |

You've never said.
By rough calculation that must be some 150 miles? |  |

I make him right on both posts.
To add people who eat out in groups and order everything on the menu then at the end suggest everyone split the bill.
Pay for your own night out pal. | |

I actually replied to the wrong post!
Was in reference to rounds, which I'm perfectly fine with, dependent on company! There is absolutely no point in priority boarding at all. Usually the last on :)
P.S. - Yeah, 'going Dutch' wtf is all that about? Pick what you want and pay for it. [Post edited 9 Aug 2019 12:23]

If the bill is even approaching roughly similar for each soul then of course, no problem.
But if you're built like a tank and eat 4 times the amount I do, having umpteen courses to my one, then yes, pay for yourself gutsy*.

My neighbour lost his a few days ago. Well, someone picked it up when he was out.
It was £900.
He's replaced it already at another 900 quid.
It's a phone. | |

Do the batteries actually last longer than 4 hours these days then?  |  |

Overeat.
Either too much at each sitting or religiously eating your three meals a day at set times. Especially if you work in an office environment and are not going to need even half the calories.
And then you need a snack in between because you're "starving". |  |

Pay for kids to go to nursery - there must be a better solution than shelling out north of £50 per day per kid |  |
