Biggest rip off

Lottery tickets. The odds of winning are so small, buying 5 or buying 500 won't make a significant difference in your odds of winning.

I've seen people waste ridiculous amounts of money, or hundreds of dollars on those tickets, to win the lottery, including scratch tickets and they never win. If they do win, its a small amount that doesn't even cover what they spent. Pretty lame if you ask me.
 
Apple products. There are devices out there that do the same thing that cost much, much less money. In the beginning it might have been okay when their technologies were more novel, but the fact that people keep buying their products just goes to show how easily people can be swayed with advertising strategies.
This. Also add the fact Apple didn't add the freakin' IP58 certification to their new iPhone. The good things Samsung DID add to their flagships, aren't on iPhones until two years later.

One prime example is the 802.11ac WLAN. Samsung started to use that tech in 2013. Then other brands followed that trend. But did Apple add it back then? No. They waited until last year to implement it.

Now the interface. Not really friendly and what Apple did was just add some new features but aesthetically it's THE SAME as 2013's iOS version. Also that it runs very slow on Apple A5-powered devices like the 4S and iPad 2.

With this said, I only hope there will be better devices with Lollipop out of the box. The first 64-bit Android devices were released on the last month of 2014 and to be honest, I like Material Design more than Holo. Seriously.
