My $0.03
I just had to do a post on this 'cuase I found it amauzing. As part of our move a few months ago, we had to change phone companies. (Which is good 'cuase I like the new one better. ) I spent two months straiting things out with the old phone company since they kept sending bills without paying attention to the fact that we had paid our final bill. (Isn't it amazing what happons when you threaten to send them a copy of the cleared check ?) Then, for the next two months, I got bills from them saying there was a zero ballance on the account. I didn't care if they felt like wasting there money to send me a zero ballance bill. As long as they didn't think I owed them anything. Fianlly, the letters stoped and I was happy. I thought I would never have to deal with them again.Then on monday, we got a letter telling us that they owed us three cents.. Then, on Tuesday the check came in the mail, for a whole three cents. How much money did they spend to send us the three cents ? I realize that they are legally requred to send us a check if they owed us money. But, why did they have to send a sepreate letter to us. Why not just send them togther ? After all, the postage for one of those was more than what the chek was for. Personaly, I woudln't have cared if they hadn't sent us the check. If it had been more money, I would have wanted it back. But, $0.03 ? That won't even buy me a cup of tea... Hell, it won't even pay the tip on the cup of tea.

we got a six cent check from the same company just last week and only a few days prior to that, we got the letter telling us we going to get it. It seems really stupid that the company would prefer to waste manpower and resources for something that they sort of owed us but that we could care less about. I guess it's good that the post office doesn't charge for mileage.
