    These hacks threw another paper in my yard. I called again and they told me that I had received a telemarketing call to my home line and had made a $5 payment for a year subscription. My home telephone is required for me to get internet for my ISP, but the line is not even ran into the house from the demarcation box, much less a phone actually connected to it.

    So, some telemarketer called my phone number, got no answer, and subscribed my address to their rag. Even paid the $5 to subscribe for a year. I checked my accounts to ensure that the fee didnt hit my stuff.

    So, several years back, the neighborhood paper pusher rang my doorbell. At this time I still enjoyed the Sunday paper for its puzzles. ads, etc., So I wrote him a $20 check for a one year scrip of "weekends, Wednesdays (for the grocery ads/coupons) and holidays", and a some free Rockies ticket vouchers.

    About 3-4 months in, I get a call from them stating I never paid. I informed them that I had paid my carrier with a check the day I signed up, and that I had the receipt showing Paid In Full, with the check # noted.

    OK, they say. We'll check into it.

    I did some follow up of my own, and sure enough, my check was never cashed. They did call back about 4 months or so later, wanting me to pay again, at least for the portion of the year that I had received. I politely but firmly told them that I had paid in full, in good faith, at the outset of my subscription, and that the service had become completely erratic and unreliable and since the check was never cashed they were free to cancel my subscription at that point.

    I continued to be delivered papers inconsistently for several more months, and even received a renewal notice in the mail... Quality operation right there.

    Ok. I'm now under the distinct impression that all insurance companies can go fuck themselves with a cactus dildo covered in Ebola sauce.

    No claims
    No bad credit
    Homeowners insurance went up over 40% from last year.

    I get that premiums generally go up year after year, but 40% is a bit ridiculous

    Over the last couple of years, I've been getting increasingly frustrated trying to get medications/supplements out of the child safety packaging without destroying it in the process. Everything from Dayquil to Nicorette...oh, and try get one of those open halfway through a two hour flight with a dull fingernail.

    Same thing with those damn anti-shoplifting blister packs that many items come in. That shit ought to come with complimentary band-aids in the package.

    Like trying to buy scissors. They come in those stiff blister packs that in order to open them require...scissors.
