A survey of 2,000 adults found 23 per cent believe life is too short to settle for anything but the best.

A fifth admitted they don't want to lower their standards, while one in six feel they deserve the finest things in life, this ranges from ketchup to gin.

Wifi quality, bed size and chocolate brands were also in the top 50 list of things people refuse to compromise on.

The poll, commissioned by broadband provider, Hyperoptic, found more than a third of adults don’t like to settle because they want to get good value for their money.

Charles Davies, spokesman for Hyperoptic, said: “There are clearly lots of areas in life people don’t want to compromise on which shows how much we rely on things and everyone has their own preferences.”

The study also found further areas people refuse to accept anything but the best include shampoo and conditioner brands, teabags and cuts of meat.

And of the 43 per cent who have worked from home this year, more than half have realised they can’t compromise on their wifi quality.

But more than half of adults are most likely to make a compromise for their partner, while a third would do so for their child.

Although settling for second best has also resulted in 13 per cent feeling ‘short-changed’.

It also emerged more than half of adults would be encouraged to compromise on something if it meant saving cash and 44 per cent would do so if it meant getting more value for their money.  

Although a quarter of those polled via OnePoll believe the cost of something reflects the quality of it.

But with talk of an upcoming recession, people are looking to save money in areas of life, but preferably without compromising on standards.

Mr Davies added: “People understandably don’t want to compromise if it means losing out on quality, but similarly everyone is always looking for ways to save money."
