Anything under the threat of force - such as all taxes.
I should say lake golf balls.
It makes me wild that I have to pay for the same ball over and over again.

Had a complete meltdown once (on the 18th too), and put 4 into the pond in front of the green. Finally decided to play safe and chipped up to within about five yards of the edge of the lake/pond/whatever. Chipped straight into the water again. Thought, right, f*ck it, last go. Totally scuffed it. Had so much dodgy spin on it that it skipped across the surface of the pond, bounced onto the green to within about a foot of the hole. We were playing Stapleford. Lost more balls on that one hole than I lost during the entire rest of the year.

Good grief HM, at the 18th as well 
I don't mind shelling out for overpriced razor blades personally, getting the cheap ones is just no good for me.
It's only 2 quid but I don't buy The Racing Post anymore, it's just a bookies advertisement with prices they won't honour.

Belts,i'd rather use a piece of wire to keep my jeans up than pay 20 and 30 quid for a f**king belt.
Photographs taken - I was in downtown Oakland and asked a local gentleman nearby who was doing nothing if he'd be so kind as to take our photograph in front of the crazy looking mural and concrete combo - he said 'sure, for a dollar' and after agreeing he said 'each'.
Two dollars to press a button, ffs.
He looked like Reverend Reggie White so didn't argue.

Razor blades a good call.
Was in the local supermarket, 3, or maybe 4, replacement blades, 16.45 euros.
I noticed a 20 pack of bic for 2.89.
Do the job lovely, well, apart from the blood and that.
I remember someone on here saying about how alcohol makes blades better, I tried that, it really works too.
I downed a bottle of whisky, got shaved, cut myself to ribbons and never felt a thing.

downtown Oakland
Tbf Bongo you're lucky he didn't just take off with your camera.Mate of mine out there used to run a Thrifty depot downtown and the amount of attempted robberies at their garage and petrol station was unbeleievable.It doesn't get much blacker than Oakland though.
Air for tyres is neevr pleasing
And £7 for going over an hour in Manchester isnt good

Anything that's 10% higher than normal . (unless there's a feckin good reason)
can't think of any one single item though -almost everything has a price i guess

@ Liamcol, I'll pay the 20 bucks for decent razor blades any day. If I used a Bic I'd need a blood transfusion afterwards.
Fuel (although it's mainly tax)
Shopping bags (I pay enough in a shop without having to pay extra to ease my carrying)
Parking at hospitals (paying to be ill/visit sick people)

talking about fuel, it's now at it's highest price since 1922
History Maker did you put yourself down for, four for two!!
did you know that fish and chips from a chippy has increased more in price than Beer or ciggies over the last 50 years ?

I'd actually already won by that point, barring one of the guys holing from off the green! It was at The Vale in Cardiff (where they play the Welsh Open). The weather was appalling and played right into my hands. I'm normally relatively accurate but get no distance whatsoever and can putt, whilst my three mates are all big, but erratic, hitters. The wind was doing all sorts of stuff to their shots but mine were at least staying on the fairway. We had a good laugh at how the Ryder Cup would go (same weekend the next year, different course, but still South Wales). Believe it or not, the weather actually looked like it was better for them!

Had to throw away my golf shoes after that weekend, they were so b*ggered. They were getting a bit old anyway to be fair.
when i look at prices i wonder how people can afford to live ! - median wages are shockingly low or prices very high
HM isn't the Wales Open played at Celtic Manor where the ryder cup played not the Vale.
The Vale a great course , that's where Andy Powell stole that buggy when drunk and went off down the motorway !!

Think you're probably right on both counts. Think that it's either the Welsh PGA or the Welsh Nationals that are held there, and it's definitely where Andy Powell had his little 'incident'. Quite a feat, it's not all that easy to navigate onto the motorway from there! 
public toilets. 20p for a piss and then you get pee shyness
paying to piss in toliets, i almost died wheni realised i was being charged to piss in manchers piccadilly station.
booking fees when paying on card for stuff, like cheap flights. i book the flight and then get charged for giving them my money in the most convienient way! they even putting a charge on those visa electron cards now!! ill send them a cheque if they like!!

paying 10-15 euro into nightclubs is absolute robbery,at least díck turpin wore as mask.
A cup of tea. Last year I was with my old man at fleet services. All he wanted was a cup of tea and it rang up as £2. I almost had to stretcher him out.
Pumphol went to a swimming event in the Olympic Park, and was charged £1-20 for a bag of crisps
I notice people moaning about petrol, at roughly £7 a gallon 
Nobody moans about beer, which is at least £24 a gallon

A gallon of petrol will get me home easily, but i find i need more than a gallon of beer before i want to go home. Petrol will get me home in 5 mins , but the beer can take anything up to 2 hours. 1 step forward , 2 to the side , 3 steps backwards , turn around 4 or 5 steps in the wrong direction, then give yourself a b ollicking before starting over again.

Richard Bacon tweeted yesterday 'Exclusive Wimbledon stat from my own research. I went to the pick & mix stand and bought a single jelly baby. They weighed it. 40p.'

some stations charge money to go the bog - if you had no money and sh it all over the place then they would be unimpressed
Parking fines!
Not in the habit of getting them, but my son got one for £80.00, in a Leeds car park that
he uses every day.
On this particular day the machine was out of order, but they won't listen to reason!

Having to spend money to go to the loo(that p1sses me off)
Hospital car parks - thieving bastards
4 cars in a hospital car park yesterday for Mrs TMPs grandmother, who wasn't expected to survive the night, but she has
Father-in-law got a free 'Prone To Die' car park pass
The other 3 had to keep going out to get new tickets every 4 hours.
The total this morning at 10-30 was £18 for each car

Bags of Manure. These days I just defecate directly on to the plants. The cactus can be a bit (dis)likeable (depending on mood / alcohol consumed / status with wife).
Surprised nobody has mentioned Premium charge on here.
I don't like paying line rental on a home telephone that I've never used for about 10 years - should just lump it on the broadband fee and I'd think nowt of it.

You can often get knocked-off razor blades at car boot sales. Good for batteries too
Taxes, knowing a part of it is used to pay agents working at 2mph. I worked enough years in public sector (hospitals and tax offices) as a private employee to know it
Not paying I know but p1sses me off anyway.
Because I don't have a regular salary,wage or benefits cheque going into my Nationwide Building Society account they won't pay me any interest.

Reconnection fees are harsh for the likes of leccy gas or cable. If you're having a hard time paying your bill to the point they cut you off it's a bit of a slap in the face when they lump you with an extortionate fee to switch you back on again after you've paid.
