Things that you have to buy that piss you off.
I'll start: new windshields. $300 for a new Honda Fit windshield for Mrs. Rootskier.
No auto-glass riders in this state:

If you pay more than $6 for HDMI cables you're a fool.

With digital, as long as you get most of the signal there, it'll be fine. Speaker wire and audio cable is a slightly different story, but there is still good, cheap cable. Originally Posted by Tunco perfectly summarizing TGR

I'm only pissed because I never think to actually buy one when I need one. They should come with whatever device requires them.

I got a ticket for not wearing my seatbelt doing 20mph through our sleepy little low-speed town the other week. I wrote a vitriolic letter and sent it with my fucking payment, but I paid.
Oh and I've been running into this kind of shit lately: "provide a 3-year driving abstract with your job application"...so I have to pay the DMV $10 to apply for a job.
Need a passport, a TWIC card and a Merchant Mariner Credential to apply for an entry-level job. So you have to go spend $500 to maybe get a job you haven't even interviewed for and may not even want. Nice fucking system.

At least with this you've got a nice new roof you can see when you're done. Try $10K to replace the sewage line from your house. Been there, done that. Originally Posted by TahoeJ

haircuts. I give her money, she makes hair go away, but the shit just keeps coming back. I guess I'd also be pissed if I had to buy sunscreen for a bald spot though, so maybe I'll quit my bitchin.
