There is something which has seemingly become part of British society which I have to say really annoys me, the expectation that if a person has something which wrong then they should be compensated for it. It is a part of life that not everything goes either as expected or on a rare occasion genuine mistakes will made, it annoys me that as soon as a part of a process goes wrong there is an expectation that compensation should be paid. In my eyes compensation should only be paid out to people who have actually suffered loss or damage and not purely as a good will gesture, companies are too eager to hand out vouchers etc just to keep customers happy. The rise of the blame claim culture and the exposure all of our opinions (regardless of whether they are right or wrong) have through Social Media terrifies businesses, it's so easy for one negative message, status update or comment to be seen by hundreds of people in only a few minutes and in doing so feed the expectation Joe Public has of receiving a hand out.
 
In the long run I guess the more people do it then the business will have to compensate for the free money they give out by putting prices up - and that hits us all!
