They say that there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. This expression means that a person or a society cannot get "something for nothing". No matter what, someone has got to pick up the tab. However, sometimes a company or business decides to be a little generous with a promotional campaign and pay the costs to distribute samples or portions of their goods and services to the public at no cost to us consumers. Although such free samples are usually small, very minor things of cheap value to keep costs down for the party providing it, a free sample is still a tiny perk for the person receiving it and is always graciously accepted... or, at least, that's what the companies responsible for the campaigns would prefer, but that's usually not the case. Complaining About Things You Haven't Paid For is a trope about a person or character who acquires something at no monetary cost to them (usually through a promotional giveaway but can also cover things like outright thievery) and doesn't like it and will likely demand compensation for not liking it. This is commonly referred to with the saying, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." Presumably a common habit of pessimists and picky people; in a stark contrast of this behavior, people or characters who have no problems looking on the bright side of things may frequently make a remark along the lines of, "Who cares if it's a piece of crap? It's free!" (or, depending on the circumstances, "It's stolen!") This is of course Truth in Television. Just because you got something for free doesn't mean you have to like it. If anything, someone who did not pay for a product is much more likely to realize it's crap and throw it away, as they don't have to justify to themselves having wasted money. Those who believe in the concept that "time is money" may also be prone to this, if they believe their time has been wasted. Also, this doesn't apply when something free actually ends up causing harm through no fault of the receiver. Compare You Get What You Pay For. When the thing was actually given as a personal gift rather than another form of freebie, see Gift-Giving Gaffe or My New Gift Is Lame. No Real Life Examples, Please! |

The Simpsons: One episode sees Homer get excited about receiving a coupon book in the mail, including one coupon for "Two pizzas for the price of one at Doughy's!" When Lisa points out, "Doughy's has terrible pizza," Homer counters, "Yeah, but there's TWO!" Came up in conversation between Bart and Comic Book Guy after Poochie's debut in "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show": Happens again in The Simpsons Movie when the crowd boos a free Green Day concert and ends up killing the musicians. |

Atop the Fourth Wall: Linkara mentioned this as one of the reasons why he won't review Webcomics. Because almost every webcomic site doesn't require you to pay money to see it, and because most people make webcomics as a hobby rather than a job, Linkara feels he shouldn't hold them to the same standards as professional works. He also gets comics donated for the show. A couple of them STILL leave him feeling ripped off. |

On Mad Men, one of Peggy Olson's more contentious assignments was a pro bono project designing a flyer for a Church dance. Word of God has stated that the point of that story was to show how the clients who get work for free are often the most demanding. | |

Corner Gas: In the first episode, Hank complains about a terrible cup of coffee, to which Brent says, "Oh, well, let me refund your money. What'd you pay for it, zero?" and then mimes taking money out of an invisible cash register. In another episode, Hank complains that Brent doesn't do anything special like other gas stations, like giving away promotional cups, having contests to win great prizes, or offering a free car wash with purchase of gas. Brent then offers to let Hank have free run of his house, wash his truck with the garden hose, take any cup from the kitchen to keep, and eat all of his food, as long as Hank pays for the gas he's currently filling his truck with by the end of the day. Hank replies, "There's always a catch with you!" |

Statler insists that they stay as they've paid for the tickets. When Waldorf points out that the tickets were free, Statler replies, "And overpriced, at that!" | |

Jon Stewart frequently reminds audiences of The Daily Show that the tickets were free, usually after the interview segment of a C List guest when the next day's A List guest is announced and the audience predictably responds. He's also used it to apologize to guests if the audience is getting rude/hostile. |

A Something Awful AwfulVision column once highlighted a pair of videos where a kid who illegally downloaded a The Smashing Pumpkins album destroys the CD copies he made in a fit of rage after reaching the conclusion that he doesn't like the music. Though, to be fair, someone did have to pay for the blank CD's it was burned onto. Fans of Danganronpa on Tumblr react to the Something Awful paywall Part 1 and Part 2. Explanation: Dangan Ronpa wasn't just being Let's Played on the forums, it was also being translated into English for the first time. When the paywall went up, lurkers lost their best/only source for up to six months at a time and were unwilling to pay $10 to view the forums. On top of that, when the paywall came down, Playstation announced they were going to translate the games into English so the Let's Play/translation of the second game (plus the light novel) was cancelled to avoid a lawsuit. The translations were still put online, but it was by other sources instead. |

A few stories on Not Always Right see customers complain about things they didn't even pay money for. Ones that stand out include: A caller complaining about receiving a free soup that came with her food order. A man calling a hotel to complain that the towels he stole from his room upon checking out were "too scratchy." One complainer called up his ISP and lambasted them for his connection being down for several days, demanding a fix or refund. Turns out he never signed up for their service - he used to leech off his neighbour's wifi, until the neighbour moved away. Another similar complaint involved the leeched neighbor password-protecting their wifi, and the leeching neighbor calling the ISP to ask them to help him bypass the password protection. A customer calling to complain that the drink he got with his birthday coupon was bad and wanted to be compensated. Again, a drink he didn't pay for. |

In one story from 2000 AD's Bec & Kawl, Bec does nothing but complain about the "tragic abortion of a night out" at the carnival Kawl takes her to, stating that it isn't even worth the 50p entrance fee, to which Kawl points out that they snuck in for free. | |

Craig Ferguson will often remark that you can't complain about the quality of the show because it's free. He may also joke about the audience being paid hobos (bribed with the promise of free chicken/candy), so he'll ask why they are complaining about being paid for watching the show. | |

One episode of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius had Jimmy's dad pay 150 dollars for tickets to a free school talent show. When Jimmy's mom points out that it was a free school function, he mutters, "Darn scalpers." After hearing that Jimmy's band (who have become extremely arrogant and demanding after thinking they're awesome despite Jimmy's instruments doing everything) won't be performing, he stands up and yells, "I want my money back!" before he sits down and mutters that he didn't pay anything anyway in an embarrassed tone. | |

Literature/Discworld: In Moving Pictures, the wizards sneak into the theater through a bathroom window, then gripe about the poor seating. Granted, they complain about everything anyway, and they did shell out a small fortune for popcorn banged grains and other snacks. | |

In Gas Station Simulator, while you're on check-out duty, customers will get angry and leave you a lower tip if you toss a purchase into their basket without scanning it first, meaning you're technically giving them the merchandise for free. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In one episode, Patrick demands his money back from the Krusty Krab after he didn't get a toy with his meal, completly ignoring the fact that it was SpongeBob who paid for it and not him, even if he did eat the whole thing himself. It's more a case of 'complaining about things someone else has paid for'. A more straightforward example occurs in "Pizza Delivery". The customer berates SpongeBob for delivering the pizza without his Diet Dr. Kelp, which he supposedly never ordered. |

The Babysitting Fiasco: Alya exploits Marinette's generous nature by convincing her to babysit her younger twin sisters, along with her boyfriend Nino's younger brother, for free and on short notice. When Marinette is eventually forced to cancel so that she can get caught up on her homework, Alya passive-aggressively encourages her to "Go catch up so you can actually babysit next time!" | |
