Most of us like to think the world is a fair place. We rent-to-own appliances to repair the kitchen, pay to set up a router, and pack on ink cartridges for our printers that seem to have an insatiable appetite for these overpriced refills.
And there’s nothing wrong about it until you pause and think for a moment. Are we all just normalizing the ways companies make a profit off us without even realizing it?
When someone posted the question “What is clearly a scam but is so normalized people don’t notice?” on r/AskReddit it surely resonated with many. Amassing 85.7k upvotes and 47.1k comments, we have some of the most interesting and insightful responses that will make you go “wait a moment!”

Minimum wages staying the same, while the price of virtually everything else rises
Funerals and everything to do with them. The funeral industry has insane pricing. Some of the funeral homes and vendors are even predatory, getting grieving families to pay upwards of tens of thousands of dollars, because “that’s what the deceased would have wanted”.
I personally don’t understand the big lavish funerals. Your dead so why do you care how your send of goes. I don’t care if I have a memorial, ceremony etc. I want to be disposed of as cheap as possible coz I don’t want my family to be in debt or pay thousands of dollars to legally dispose of me.
Planned obsolescence, where products are deliberatly designed to have a defect or worse performance shortly after the warranty has expired.
''The customer is always right"
Biggest scam of all- the customer is usually an idiot and looking to get free stuff.
The original saying made perfect sense: “The customer is always right, in matters of taste.” If a customer wanted wear something ugly or eat something gross, you helped them out with a smile. It’s their money and their business, and you’re just there to facilitate that purchase. But once it got shortened and lost that meaning, it became a huge pain in the ass for employees and businesses, and a license to act like an entitled douche to customers.
The US tax system. “We know how much money you owe, but it’s up to you to figure it out and if it’s not right, we’re going to penalize you for not understanding the convoluted code.”
The fact that so many products require you to create an account and register it just to use it. This is starting to become so widespread. Even CAMERAS are doing that [things] now. Pisses me off so much. I don't want to be tied to some stupid cloud BS I just want to use the damn thing.
Phones themselves are terrible for this too. I should not need an apple or google account to have a phone I should be able to use it as a standalone device with just the cell service and that's it. All this sort of BS is only so they can spy on you.
I agree 100%, also I hate that you have to give permission to use your data to access most apps, websites etc. You should be able to use them without them selling your info to other parties.

Mobile game ads that show gameplay of a Call of Duty or Skyrim style game but in reality are just a spin-off of Candy Crush
I have downloaded so many apps from what is advertised in another game and then find out it is nothing like the ad at all. So now I don’t even bother. It’s essentially click bait.
Printer ink.
Omg yes, it is super expensive. Our old printer was cheap but we didn’t research before hand to find out that the ink for black was $38 and colour was $45.
Bottled water, like Dasani. Especially in places like an amusement park that mark ups the price a shocking amount. Also the average markup of bottled water is 4000%, which is outrageous, bc water is literally free most places
Having to pay $100+ for glasses
Luxotica has held a near monopoly for decades. They control most brands and outlets... and they've made it harder for places like Warby Parker to allow insurance billing. (WP has glasses starting at $83 per pair, including lenses). My wife is an optician, and I was really surprised to learn about the industry.

More for bifocals. It’s not even like they’re unbreakable, either, plus you generally also have to pay for another eye exam if it’s been a couple years.
I most be the biggest fool because I have never paid less than 100 dollars for glasses. Lenses are generally well priced, but the price of frames vary widely, depending on the manufacturer. Choose a generic frame, and you won't pay through the nose. Pick a fashion designer frame, and expect to make instalments. Honestly, you get what you pay for. Don't expect cheap glasses to last long.
I have 2 pairs of polaroid sunglasses that I got free with reading glasses. They are about 40 years old, and I haven’t opened the second pair yet. Good value. But I do have pairs of reading glasses everywhere: car, kitchen, bedroom, garage, bathroom, study, because the old glasses still work well. I never buy a ‘name’ frame, except twice when I wasn’t paying attention. Never broken any glasses but I did lose a pair recently. The optometrist gave me a replacement pair free, covered by health insurance.

100 USD for quality glasses is actually cheap. Especially if you need thick lenses, which are heavy. That means you need titanium frames, which are more expensive than plain steel. Also, the lenses vary widely in price, depending on the "options" you select: heliomatic, compound, oleophobic or anti-mist coatings...
They are available online for as little as $10. You tell them your prescription and pay, they make em and send em. As eye tests are free this represents the full cost. Of course if you are disabled, unemployed or retired you'd have gotten them free anyway..
I pay a tenner for specialised frame and an extreme astigmatism prescription glasses. Because Zenni is amazing like that. Get your prescription and shop around.
Get on sale frames cheap, but my lenses are ridiculous! I have trifocals progressives. Then scratch resistant, transition, and blue light protection. My insurance will cover one pair a year, so I always try and get the new glasses round the time the store coupons and sales come out, and bunch it all together. One time, it turned out like 600 dollars cheaper to use my store coupons! Then I also got prescription sunglasses with coupons also. Just look for cheap or on sale frames.
My glasses were over $350 and that was just plain lenses and frames; nothing fancy.
Try $900 plus just for the lenses and only certain places can actually fill my prescription as they have to be done in glass. The real scam comes when they file it with my insurance. It should cost the same no matter where I go, right? Wrong. Some places cost me as low as $250 and others want as much as $800. And then there are the one that don't even accept insurance.
Oh no. I went to get an exam last week. While I was waiting for them to print up my RX I heard someone being given a price of over $500 for their glasses. Yikes! I've been getting my glasses online for years for waaay cheaper and submit my receipt to work for reimbursement.
My optician has free frames for any customer and just charge £25 for the lenses
Yes, you pay exorbitant prices for the "extras" like scratch proofing, no line bifocals, glare proofing, sun darkening, etc. Really only costs several dollars more for those, not the hundreds that they charge.
Glasses manufacturer Warby Parker tries to keep prices low. But in Italy there's a man who has the monopoly of buying all the brands of glasses and stores like lenscrafters. He marks up the prices at unfair amounts and gets away with it because people still buy them. He's one of the richest around. Again people should stop buying from these places.
Zenni Optical. Look it up and Gordon crazy. I have about a dozen pairs from them.
It depends. I have both myopia and astigmatism, and a lens that covers both is costly. Plus I have photosensivity, so I can really use the photocromic treatment. And I'm kinda clumsy, so I'd need shatterproofness too. If you sum up all of this, there's NO WAY to stay under 100 bucks for lenses alone.
Why is it a scam? It’s not fckin glass from the window... optically clear crystals are developing and getting better every year. The scratch resistance gets better also. No one is going to invent s**t for free. The frames has to be either fashionable and or sturdy, they require materials and design. Believe me there’s a significant quality difference between a £50 el-cheapo and a £250 Prada or oakley frame, one will show wear and tear in months the other one will start showing wear’n’tear after a couple of years. They also need an optometrist in store and they need to pay their wages. Even if i’m a returning customer they might see me every 2 years. They have to have a nice store otherwise you won’t be able to try on the frames, they have to keep frames in stock that people might not even buy and they ain’t free. What i learnt since i wear glasses DON’T BUY CHEAP, not having an anti reflective layer will cause migraines.
If you have a single-vision prescription (i.e. not bifocals) and not too strong, just buy online, most of my glasses have cost less than $50. But if you have bifocals (or progressives) or a particularly strong prescription, proper fitting and determining pupilary distance and position is critical.
You can just copy the pupillary distance from prescription

Paid $60USD for 2 pair of simple readers, I'm over 50. Couldn't buy OTC readers because my eyes are unbalanced.
I have a coloboma, a birth defect of the eye. I have vision in my left eye, but there is a hole through the structure and over on the right side my optic nerve is perpetually swollen. As a result of the issues I have, and the incredibly poor, but largely correctable vision that I have, my glasses cost upwards of $600, and that's before you add tinting to the lenses, scratch protection, and everything else.
What? I don't wear them but the people I know with them pay a few hundred. Some have overage at work.
Lol. I paid 400€ just for my frame. There is actually a ton of craftsmanship going into good glasses. And most of it is usually produced in Europe - with European wages. Good glasses are like good jewellery - expensive. The thing that really annoys me is that our (Germany) publlic healthinsurance is not even paying for a super basic set.
Zennioptical has them for way less, I pay around $10-30 depending on the lenses. Get your prescription and look online.

My Mum ended up forking out more than £120 ($165) for her glasses and most of that was just the lenses with a 60+ discount. Varifocals are so expensive.
Mine would be over $700. I have bifocals, If I dont want the old man line across the lenses I have to pay extra for the no line ones. photogray is extra as well. I got a break and got them around $200 at costco instead of through the optimotrist. But my insurance does not cover out of network spec and in network will only pay about $200.
Zennioptical.com I've gotten glasses from them for about 10 years now. Transition, progressive, sunglasses, virtually try on frames, etc. The last pair I bought was in February and cost less than $90.
There are actually a lot of pretty good websites to buy glasses- I got mine for 45$
The frames are the biggest ripoff. It's all plastic, and when I worked at a vision clinic, they all were prone to breakage. You're paying for the brand name labeling it, not a whole lot more of quality (and the look of it).
Because there are specialists that work for years to know how to diagnose your specific issue and create lenses that are specific to your eyes. It's like if your roof is leaking. It sucks, but you have to pay somebody that knows how to fix it.

Sunglasses have to meet a safety standard in the UK- no need to spend loads of cash on them.
In the UK if you work with display screen equipment your employer has to provide a free eye test at least once a year. If you require glasses, there are circumstances where you can get money off or even free glasses (The regulations state 'Employers only have to pay for glasses for DSE work if the test shows an employee needs special glasses prescribed for the distance the screen is viewed at. If an ordinary prescription is suitable, employers do not have to pay for glasses.')
I reuse old frames. I only need them for reading now, since I had my cataracts done. Still have to pay for the lenses though.
I would do The Stupid Dance of Joy if I could get mine for that low low price. By today's exchange rate it's more like 600 € (and it's after discounts I get there!)
The problems are the lens that are bloody expensive and are only partially deductible (at least where I live). Expecially if you have a progressive problem that make you have to change them often. Not to talk about the cost of contact lenses. But unfortunately this is a problem that occur for a lot of illnesses, and I'm even lucky to live in country with universal healthcare.
A total rort by a monopoly supplier. Luxator owns virtually every brand
One of my favourites! The frames are stamped out like yoghurt pots and the lenses are made by machine
$100 sounds cheap. My glasses (round John-Lennon-style) with progressive lenses were some 700 Euro.
The diamond industry, specifically as it relates to jewelry. Everything that the average person "knows" about it stems from propaganda and advertisements created by DeBeers. They aren't rare, they aren't worth what you pay for them, they don't appreciate in value and are a terrible investment. They aren't special.
Health Insurance in the US. Costs a small fortune, never covers sh*t, and you still end up bankrupt if you're not rich and get sick or hurt.
Apple's headphone jack removal.
Supposedly was to make the phone thinner, but everyone puts a case on anyways. Samsung galaxy S10 was 7.8 mm thick with a headphone jack. Apple removed the jack with iPhone 7, which was 7.1 mm thick. That's great, but every iphone since has been thicker.
And very convenient to remove that, wait till the annoyance died down, then release airpods.
The whole thing was clearly a scam to artificially make bluetooth a borderline necessity right before releasing Apple bluetooth earbuds.
And everyone ate it up.
And the removal of the chargers “for the environment”. If it was for the environment then you would reduce the cost of the charge from the phones and also give the option to buy them for a small price. Now they charge the same without it and then charge you like 40 euros for the charger.
Gerrymandering. In most representative democracies, voters choose their elected officials. In the US, elected officials choose their voters.
Cat food. Look at the cat food at a random store, and see how the design brags about all the healthy vegetables they've crammed into your obligate carnivore's diet. Then check out the ingredients and see how corn, rice, etc. are often the first ingredients. Pet foods market toward humans by trying to appeal to human sensibilities, not genuine desire to provide your cat with the best diet.
When you buy kibble look at the ingredients. Like this post said the first ingredients are the ones that have a bigger %. You want the first ingredients to be meat and it to not contain a lot of wheat, beets, corn, flour or ash. Most fancy commercial brands are really poor in composition.
Members of Senate, Congress, and Presidential candidates, collecting money from corporations, big donors, and hiding it in campaign accounts, Pac's and Super Pac's, and then doling it out as they like. They no longer act as a government of the people and for the people.
Giving credit card details for a "free trial" and auto renewal fine print.
Heck, stop it after my trial ends. If I really liked it, I'll pay for it.
Manufacturers refusing documentation to private repair enterprises and requiring you to get your products fixed by the dealer. Basically, the reason for the "Right-to-repair" movement
YES. And making products "seamless" so that you CAN'T open them up to repair them (I'm looking at you, Apple), at least not without a ton of effort and higher than average risk.of damaging the product doing it yourself. This refusing documentation and all is just yet another scheme for them to wring money out of consumers and away from small businesses
The school picture industry. $80 for an awkward picture of my baby? Nah, thanks
$80 is insane. I would never pay that. Thankfully the average cost I pay is $35 for a basic pack which includes a class photo and about 10 individual photos of various sizes.
Application fees for colleges, apartments, etc.
HOSPITALS OMG
Lol ask them for an itemized bill (like everything they gave you and how much it costs) and they'll cut the bill down by like 50%.
Weddings. My wife and I got married in a post office and could not have asked for a better ceremony. It cost us the price of notary services and that’s it.
The exhorbitant sums spent on weddings, specially second marriages or where couples have lived together for years and often already have children, has become rediculous.
Working 40 hours a week
Or the entire concept of having to work, in order to justify being alive... many years ago I came across a quote by some economist (can't remember the name, sadly) who argued that most job positions are totally superfluous, but are maintained because of the whole "everyone has to have a job" thing.
Fashion, but also just clothing in general. No pockets on female clothes? More purses get sold. Thinner layers for women? Have to buy more layers. It gets marketed as being fashionable, but the clothing industry could roll out a marketing campaign for baggy rugged clothing tomorrow and get it trending if they wanted to.
Also, the clothing industry is a cesspool of child labor, human trafficking, and it has some of the highest carbon emissions and water waste of any industry on the planet, way worse than flying. One cotton t-shirt takes thousands of gallons of water to produce. Almost any synthetic fabric is a type of plastic, and you release microplastics upon washing.
On top of all that, we have repressive cultural norms and laws regarding the necessity of wearing clothing that come from Puritans and Victorians who thought table legs had to be covered and ankles were sexy. The idea that you should be embarrassed to be naked in front of other people is a cultural phenomenon, not instinct, and you can look at pretty much any tropical tribe to verify this fact that humans are actually generally normal around other naked humans.
Social media. From their happy beginnings they are now mostly a funnel used to ram as many advertisements into your mind as inhumanly possible. “Sponsored Posts” every third or fourth item - I see you, IG/FB/Red/etc. And that’s not even mentioning the extensive filtering network that “curates” the information you get to see when you are looking for something. “Curated information” is just a nice expression for you being conditioned to form certain opinions / buy more stuff. Social media groom minds
Reducing a price by 1 cent to trick our brains into thinking a product costs less than it actually is.
Starbucks. I pay $9.99 for 51 oz of Folgers Ground Coffee, roughly 380 8 oz cups. That comes out to about $0.02 per cup of coffee. At Starbucks, a Tall Dark Roast costs $1.85. I could have 92.5 cups of Folgers at home before I pay for 1 Starbucks. My tub of Folgers is worth $703.00 if I were to sell it at the same price as Starbucks. AND I’m using reusable cups every day.
Homeowner's insurance:
"Sorry, we're not selling new policies in Your Area right now because Thing just happened" where Thing = earthquake, wildfire, flood, and other things you might ... want to insure against?
"We don't cover That Sort of Problem." where That Sort of Problem = anything that actually happens to your house, due to weasel-wording loopholes
"You submitted a claim? We're going to triple your rates FOREVER after this."
Those registries that people pay money to “name a star”
The thing is no registry owns the stars so just because you name it, doesn’t mean it is actually named that or that you are the only person to name that specific star. You may call it Fred whilst someone has called that same star Wilma. You are literally paying for a piece of paper, nothing more.
Doing your own taxes, and paying to use a privately-owned software (or a service) when the government could totally do it for you, send you the details, and ask if it’s correct.
I would rather use an accountant, especially when our tax is a bit more complicated with all the deductions.
Annual college tuition increases. Why aren’t they held to a competitive pricing model as opposed to having to take out a mortgage to go to school? Everyone wants to talk about government paying for college education, but there is no conversation on why is it that expensive anyway? Especially when some unis have endowments in the billions that just the interest on those funds could literally pay the tuition for everyone that goes through the door.
Social media looks like free, harmless fun, but is more like selling your soul (and data), makes you addicted and sad. Most people notice, probably, but don't care enough.
Paying for cable tv. The whole idea of paying was to create a revenue stream separate from that of marketing. There are a few out there (HBO, I think) but generally we pay to access the content and still have to spend 20% of the time sitting through commericals.
Then streaming comes in and were free of advertisements again, for a bit. Now YouTube has tons of ads and other streaming services are talking about adding ads as well
I would never get Foxtel coz it is approx $60 a month when I can get Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime video, Stan etc plus all the catch up tv and YouTube for at least $20 less a month. They are an absolute rip off.
Most modern manufactured goods. Designed to not last, so you keep buying more.
EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the Internet that sells some sort of „millionaire education“ .
Every single one of them. They are all liars, most of them are not even rich to begin with! They fake it enough that some idiots buy it. You are customers to them. Nothing more.
A lot of self-help unfortunately is based on the falsehood that you can "accomplish it with this one trick." The One Trick will not get your weight healthy, get you that relationship with that person, put money in your pocket or make you happier. Real life requires nuance and complexity. And things that are hard and take time and effort. I wish there were One Trick but we need to deal with the situation we have, not the situation we wish it was.
Toothpaste commercial were actors filled their toothbrush with toothpaste too much which is unnecessary
You should only use about a pea size amount. In saying that though, I am just as bad as the actors and put on almost as much as what is pictured lol.
The fact that you have to pay to bury loved ones
I don't think the mere fact that you have to pay for burials is a scam, but the often high prices are equivalent to a scam.
Rent-to-own furniture and appliances.
I understand why it’s a thing coz some people can’t afford to pay for those big items upfront so rent to buy is one of their only options.
