Excess data charges on phones - if you blow it completely you're just stupid ... But seriously... The difference in cost for plan data and excess... ungodly.

"Premium" HDMI cables. Because it's a digital technology, either the signal comes through or it doesn't.

Mini bars in hotel rooms. They can suck me off. They've even got those weighted systems now so they know as soon as you pick something up.

Underwear. Saw some not long ago that was $50 for one pair. If someone can aware me of a place to buy underwear that isn't going to split in half when put on a normal sized body and cost a small mint, please, do so.

I still have pairs of Marks & Spencer jocks from when I lived in the UK 6 years ago. Since I've been back I've gone through dozens of pairs that I've bought here and worn out while the M&S ones are still going strong. Damn near impossible to buy robust undergarments in Oz.

Someone aware me too please. Couple running with leg weights and it's a deadly combo.

Deleted my post, alcohol in particular, especially beers have prices that are extortionist.

1.25L bottles of soft drink, why get a bottle for $1.99 when the 2L version is the same price, I shit you not at some IGAs and Woolies, or like only 20-50 cents more dearer.

Food and drink prices at cinemas.

"Oh you want a large coke and popcorn? $11 please".
