A new series is released on Netflix and you're all excited to get home and binge-watch it, but there's one problem - it's not on Netflix in Ireland.
That top you want in Zara is sold out in town so you go and buy it online, but it's being sent from the UK or Spain and postage costs a fortune so the top ends up costing you way more than you'd planned.
Sound familiar?
Well all that, and more, could be about to change as the European Commission unveils its plan for a Digital Single Market.
The commission today announced plans to allow people access their streaming and on-demand accounts wherever they are in the EU.
Currently services like Netflix, iPlayer and Sky Go are often geo-blocked, and depending on where in Europe you are, the shows and films offered up to view can vary.
Europe wants the same services made available in all countries across the EU.
The Digital Single Market would also make parcel deliveries cheaper, which probably isn't great news for companies like Parcel Motel.
At the moment the cost of postage means just 15% of people who shop online will buy something from another EU country and get it sent to them.
The amount you're charged to use your mobile in other EU countries has already been lowered, but this plan would see that cost drop again.
It's the European Commission's plan to completely get rid of roaming charges.
The European Commission says it believes a fully functional Digital Single Market could contribute €415 billion a year to the economy and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs.
Vice-President for the Digital Single Market Andrus Ansip said that the strategy will "give people and companies the online freedoms to profit fully from Europe's huge internal market."
