( picture from here)You know what really annoys me??? Unnecessary charges, for- no- good- reason- charges, just- for -the- hell -of -it- because -we -can- charges...fees... whatever you want to call it!
We got a letter the other day from a large phone company telling us that they are going to start charging us $2.20 to pay our bill at the post office. (The post office doesn't get the $2.20 we asked them) or we can pay by credit card and be charged 1% interest of the amount of the bill. Where do they get off??? How can they charge us to pay? how can they be allowed to make you pay to pay??? We would change phone companies if we could but we don't get coverage from anyone else so they have us by the short and curlies ( I do love that term short and curlies- my Dad use to say it all the time as well as " what do you think it is Bushweek?"hehehe )
And this one... I am in a very large shop and I want to lay by an item of clothing- she tells me there is a $7 lay by fee! I try not to loose it! $7 to put the frock in a bag in the storeroom with my name on it!!!!(I know its not the lovely shop assistants fault so I just say that is a scam!!!)
And being charged to get your own money out of an ATM because its not your banks own ATM!!! How could that possibly cost $2??
I could go on and on but you get the drift! Why is it that you can be charged for paying?! It really annoys me! then these compnaies will come out and tell us how they laid off 5000 workers and made a 5 billion dollar profit!!!! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Have a rant! Get it off your chest I know you can think of an example!!!
Phew! I feel better now... a little ... for the momnent anyhow
