Things you hate to pay for.

Oh yeah. The only time I buy bottled water is for hurricane season. Otherwise I drink tap water. (Filtered, but only because it stressed my parents out so much they bought me a Brita...Did you guys know I'm cheap?)

Xbox live or any "monthly fee" games (eg: WoW)

Yes, absolutely.

I hear people complain about bottled water a lot, my only complaint is the amount of plastic we are using because of the craze. You pay a water bill every month also. You aren't getting water for free there either.

I don't pay a water bill every month.

If you get water out of the tap you are paying about three *cents* per gallon, if you are buying it by the half liter bottle you are paying about six *dollars* a gallon. 

I don't mind spending three cents for a gallon of water.  I don't like spending six dollars for basically the same thing.

^^^ Still not free, except for Buddha. I assume she is in an apartment with utilities included.

Still not *free*.  More like included in a package deal she pays for.

But you can get water for free at many public water fountains.

Drink refills is a great one.  I hate when they ask you for 50 cents to refill a drink that you already paid $2.29 for at the mall food court.  That's BS.  I reward venues that offer free refills by giving them my business and neglecting those that charge for refills.

Also, as Lil B mentioned, I won't pay for apps on my phone either.  If there's a free version, fine, but it better be a "can't live without it" app for me to pay money for it. 

edit to add (since Dave reminded me in another thread): Software upgrades.  I bought software, I have been using it.  Don't tell me I can't KEEP using something I PAID FOR unless I give you MORE money.  That's bullcrap.

I also hate paying any kind of fee.

This is the biggest for me....I hate paying "fees" period. When I ask what something costs I want the total cost and not to be surprised when it comes time to pay that it cost 10 dollars more because of some dumbass fee.

What I was referring to is for example, five star hotels like Hilton or Marriott charging $9.95 per day to use their Wi Fi

Yeah, I don't get this.  I've stayed at cheap motels ($50/night) and the Wi-Fi is free.  Then I stay at four or five star hotels (paying well in excess of $100/night) and they want another $10 for Wi-Fi.

This is why whenever I have to stay at a hotel, I stay at Best Western.  They're rates are very reasonable, they have free Wi Fi, and most have a free full breakfast (although my wife will give me a hard time about having eggs, bacon, and grits)

[Phishfan]

^^^ Why would you ruin a perfectly good bacon & eggs breakfast that way?

[Sunstroke]

Things I hate to pay for...

* bottled water
* napkins (I grab a small stack every fast food visit...saves me on paper towel consumption)
* black pepper (same as napkin example above)
* sex
* online gaming

[Dave Gray]

I want to amend my hating of XBOX live.

I'm beginning to hate paying for it, because I feel that the other systems are catching up.  But in the past, I was OK with the 5 bucks a month or whatever, because I used it a lot and it was very, very reliable.

Now, however, I'm starting to get a bit tired of it, because I use it primarily to stream movies...not so much to play games.

You don't like grits?
