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!”

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.

''The customer is always right"
Biggest scam of all- the customer is usually an idiot and looking to get free stuff.
Lunar Bicycle 3 years ago
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 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.

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.

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.

I don’t know why the US seems so averse to a universal healthcare system. It’s probably a lot cheaper to have a small increment docked from your pay each month than to pay insurance excesses and anything that the insurance doesn’t cover. Plus you still have the option to go private without insurance too.
danielw 3 years ago
a few reasons. Mostly, it boils down to the fact that our government is actually ran by a bunch of useless pricks. Particularly, look at the differences in educational systems across the states... and then realize that the same states that don't cough up for a decent education are also the same states that will balk at increased taxes. Further more, my health care isn't a political football, and frankly, you're going to find that universal healthcare won't cover a lot of things because of the religious right. Contraceptives. Abortion. Treatment for things that are allegedly caused by being LGBT+. and then there's the fact that I don't feel the need to share my medical information with the government. I don't know that it'd be an issue, but I don't care to find out, either.

Tip for some US hospitals shared by some friends: If you're going in for a planned procedure (in their case it was delivering a baby) ask about pre-paying for it. They ended up paying about 1/3 of what they did for their first child. I don't know if this applies to all hospitals, all states or all procedures though.

Sad, but true. I had a hip replaced and my insurance covered about 95% (cool), so I had a balance of maybe $250 - which I paid. One year later I get a notice from a collection agency stating that I owed $450. OK, send me an itemized invoice. They sent me a statement with absolutely no detail, so I called and again requested an itemized invoice. This s**t went on for months and by now the harassing phone calls had started. Total scam. Someone in the hospital's billing office was selling information to this collection agency for a % of the recovered amount. I have no idea how many people just took their word for it and paid up, but people went to jail as a result.
Faith Nicole 3 years ago
Ixve worked for multi medical collections company & yes the bills get sold for pennies on the dollar which I truly don't understand how/why its done this way. After a certain amount of time with an open invoice there's the threat of collections unfortunately After it goes into.collections its all about working out payment plans, asking for discounts off the bill if paid in full or some %. So many people don't realize that when you walk into the hospital, that is one bill. When you see a Dr, that's a separate bill so all these years go by people think they paid their debt but actually they only paid the facility, because when you go to the er & sign all those papers, in small print at the bottom it tells you you will be billed separately by the provider themselves. Who actually reads all that s**t especially during a true emergency? Hospitals need to do better at making patients aware of everything, hang signs give paperwork, give options

Try a hospital in Eastern Europe. They supposed to pay under the table to the doctors, nurses and other personnel to express how "thankful" they are for the care they gave. One better to pay it right away when they first meet to ensure they would actually care. There's no contract, no bill only the hope they would do their best.

UK vets are going the same way. Sadly my work colleague was put in an emotional, time pressurised situation where she had to decide to operate on a poorly dog. Normally this would describe a scam. She was quoted £1500, roughly the average monthly take home pay. The dog didn't survive the operation and due to complications the cost came to £2500. This was settled immediately in a time of grief. Then they presented her with another bill of £900 for xrays. No insurance because the age of the dog made it prohibitive. It's one thing to be made to choose between debt and a beloved pet. I can't imagine how it would feel being made to choose with a relative or with your own health.

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.

However we did choose to get diamond wedding rings cause they last very long. They cost a lot but theyre supposed to last you a lifetime. Its not a scamn they could guarantee me that it would last a lifetime and otherwise they would fix it for free. A scam is ending up witj something cheap or ending up with nothing. A diamond ring lasts and my husband and i chose them. If you dont want one, dont buy one

15#. I totally agree. Also, I went to a camp about science and we learned that adding a certain chemical to water will change the water color. The closer to red, the less fitting it is. Dansani was yellow.

I'm getting saddened by how many people don't respect the religion of others.

Do you mean scientology? Its founder, the now deceased, L. Ron Hubbard is on record saying it is a scam. Or megachurches? There are a ton of christian options where the pastor is not also a money sucking ghoul. The label "religion" is not a get out of honesty for free card.

Seems to me all you people want is free s**t. Nobody should ever have to work have to earn money to pay for things, it should all be free. Yeah that is real doable.

And cereal boxes that contain 80% air. They should pay a tax on airspace inside their box. And please don't say "just look at the weight!", it's false advertising, plain and simple.
