Default what's your biggest rip off?

what's the most you've ever been ripped off/cheated/or fooled into buying? For anything?

once at McD's I bought some chicken nuggets and walked out the door, only to realize that I didn't get any sauce, so I walked back in and aske the person at the counter for sauce and she said that they charge for sauce. I told her I bought the nuggets there, like only a few seconds ago (thinkin that she only said that because she thought I didn't buy anything there), and she told me they still charge for sauce. What a crock. Ok, not a financial strain, but its the principle of the thing.

That's retarded. They usually give you one sauce on the house. However, if you asked them to give you salad dressing (ranch)...those are huge packets so they may charge. But BBQ and Sweet and Sour should be free (those little packets).

Replacement Bolts for my Honda S2000. $5.00 for a 12mm bolt for my calipers? Oh yeah, I needed 8 of them!

I think my bank interest is making more money than the market. at least I get a little bit from that every month. my stocks continually lose money, every day.
