35 Times People Were Charged Extra Fees For Ridiculous Things

No matter how much we earn, it seems like bills keep competing with our pay. Everything we want costs money, and the suppliers to our wants and needs seem to be intent on gouging us for every penny they can get their greedy hands on.

It won’t let me just directly connect my checking account. My rent is already high enough and they want another 50 dollars out of me just to pay for it?

I’m not the first to post these, but 18 percent service charge, waiter said it doesn’t go to him and a lot of people don’t tip on top, it’s confusing. Fairly expensive restaurant in LA, looked on menu after and saw it in the fine print. I hate this so much, I won’t go back.

#35 Got An Eviction Letter For Being 15 Minutes Late Paying My Rent. Look At These Fees

Image source: lvl100Evasion

$180 just for writing an eviction letter??? Like seriously?? You had to write it once and I bet it was years ago. You have copies just laying around!
So my $1,479 of rent after all these charges and the late fee really means my rent is $1,988. Why is it a bank can tell me I can’t afford a $900 mortgage but $2000 for rent? Nah, you got this bro. 2 bed room dumpster fire with dry wall missing. This isn’t not the luxury apartment that’s advertised, so why charge luxury prices?
15 minutes late… kiss my a*s. You force us to pay using money order. Sorry you close your office 15 minutes before I get home. I live in Dallas, I tried to race here but whatever. My schedule doesn’t revolve around you. Maybe get your s**t together and setup online payments.
Also, I haven’t seen the pest dude since I’ve lived here.
I hate being a millennial.
