Yes. This morning I've already blown off steam on Facebook about the trash men coming early when you're not ready and late when you are. I've complained about the fact that charges are placed on your credit card immediately but credits take forever. Now...
Have you ever experienced a night when you just can't go to sleep no matter what? Have you finally resorted to giving up, getting up, and turning on the TV? If you have, then...
You've probably seen those infomercials that offer a second item absolutely free. You just have to pay the shipping! Have you noticed that you can NEVER see the shipping charge on the screen? It's either not there, or it's so small and goes by so quickly you can't possibly read it.
So...you call the 800 number, and the conversation might go something like this:
Me: "Can you tell me what the shipping charge would be on the free second Bedazzled Nose Hair Trimmer?"
Operator: "Why yes. That charge is, let me see, hmm--it's only $39.95!"
Me: "Are you kidding me? $39.95 just for the shipping? I never heard of such a ridiculous thing!"
Operator: "Do you hear how selfish you sound? Here we are giving you a Bedazzled Nose Hair Trimmer absolutely free and you are whining about the shipping charge."
Me: Click.
And now you're fuming so much that you REALLY can't go go sleep!
