People Are Sharing The Biggest Scams That Have Been Normalized (30 Posts)

21. Televangelists

“Televangelists. They scam older people by promising healing if you send them all your money, and it’s totally legal. They say they can heal cancer, everything. So f*cking disgusting.” –TiraelRosenburg

22. Health insurance

“U.S. health insurance and medical billing.” –MiamiOnTheMind

23. College

“I know this is the low hanging fruit… but college for a solid 50% of people.” –runthereszombies

24. Home owners’ associations

“100% HOAs. I pay for my house then pay some Karen money for her to tell me I can’t do whatever I want to MY HOUSE. Ridiculous.” –Bobsquarepants9050

25. Bottled water

“Bottled water (except in Flynt).” –thequejos

26. Insurance companies

“Insurance. Insurance companies take our money every month then deny every claim filed.” –Duke_Zymurgy

27. Weddings

“Weddings. Holy sh*t are weddings a rip off. It’s such a huge amount of money for One. F*cking. Day. We have ingrained the idea in most young girls that they have to grow up to have their “special day” and passed that down from generation to generation. You’re no less married than if you just go down to the courthouse on a Tuesday afternoon, and/or have your small religious ceremony.” –fat_bouie

28. Work weeks

“Working for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year for 50 years, and that’s assuming you’re lucky, and it’s the only way to even get by for most people. I sell my life and get the bare minimum in return. Fun.” –The_darter

29. Tipping

“Tipping. I tip well as long as service is good. But only because I know they’re working for a sub-livable wage and need tips to make up the difference. I really despise having to do their manager’s job of evaluating their performance and rewarding them accordingly.” –GrottyBoots

30. Diamonds

“Diamonds.” –ubertrebor
