Life is full of necessary evils, and topping that list are the costs we all hate paying for. From the frustratingly ineffective health insurance premiums to the seemingly extortionate parking fees, these expenses often feel like daylight robbery. Let’s take a humorous yet truthful look at these universally begrudged costs, and why they irk us so much.

Petty Yet Pesky

  • Paying for Air at Gas Stations: Because apparently, air isn’t free anymore.
