Most inappropriately expensive thing EVER - your vote?
I've seen and heard of a lot of pricey things in my day. For example, $25 million (or whatever it costs) to go up in a space shuttle is idiotic, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience at this point in history (although you could almost end poverty in Iran where the first female Space Adventures passenger comes from and where the poverty level is 40%. But I digress...)
However, $400 flip flops just blow my mind. A piece of wood, two strings and some sparkly things. Who thinks this stuff up? And why? Sure, I like crystals too but sheesh...

What's the one thing that the cost of which just made you want to scream?!

I have had some serious sticker shock from clothes before. But I guess it would be diapers or baby formula since I'm forced to buy them. Same goes for gasoline prices. Oh yeah, and thong underwear- there's hardly any fabric there, why do they charge $15 for it?! I'm a cheapskate, I could go on forever

here is a review:
"These trays are AWFUL. Gucci charged my mother $90.00 because she got them for me as a present and you cannot even get the ice out. It’s such a joke. And their so-called return policy prohibits me from returning them in any way because I used them. Apparently, GUCCI failed to test the effectiveness of their own product and has no problem sticking it to my mother for $90.00 because of their failure."
Sorry, honey... but if a person is asinine enough to pay $90.00 for ice cube trays then they deserve for them to SUCK and not even work. And actually anyone who pays $90 for ice cube trays, I hope they get an ice cube stuck to their dry tongue. Maybe the pain will snap them back to reality. :?
I'm really on a roll today.

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

I totally agree. I cant believe salads are so expensive. I know this sounds silly but I hate salads(I call it rabbit food) but I thought I might try one at a restaurant(attempting to watch what I eat) and it was more expensive than real food! How can leaves be so expensive!
Oh and I think children's books are overpriced as well. Spending 10 bucks on a 5 page book is outrageous.

I don't think it gets me mad that people charge that much for them, it makes me mad when people go out and buy buy buy and then complain that they don't have enough money.
I've seen Broadway tickets here go up to $100 a pop and that's overpriced if you ask me. But, as long as they're selling the seats, they'll keep selling them at that rate.
Also....movie tickets for $10 - ripoff. I don't see a new movie now unless I go to a matinee or have a coupon.

Yep, plus you can buy brand new DVDs on amazon for $3 each.
Going along with that.... textbooks.
"Okay, so it's hardcover and was written by a few highly qualified people.... but $120?!??? It's PAPER AND INK, people!"
Changed because the "number in place of a word" thing was bugging my no-longer-14-year-old self.
when i see stuff like that i just think com on people do something good with that money. Sure throw your party and it can be fancy to but go with something cheaper for that and give the rest of the money to something worth while. I don't know it just drives me nuts
My vote -- Coach leaather seats for I believe it was Lexus.
AGREED!
OR good taste, that house she lived in was horrendous!
Yeah, but you don't get to go to the movies if you buy the DVD.
There's more to going to the movies than just seeing the movie. I love the whole movie-going experience, whether it's at the big theater or at our little indie theater (which serves full meals, beer, wine and Starbucks along with the usual movie snacks!).
Rock on with your bad self.
