minus a penny

minus a penny

Most people who work hard for a decade expect to either have enough money to retire, enough money to buy a house, or enough money to buy a wife.  Janet Maitland worked hard for a decade to get enough money to buy a…a…jeez, I don’t know what 14 cents could buy you these days. 

Janet Maitland is nothing if not a good telephone services consumer. Back about a decade ago, she got her long distance phone service through Costco. It was called TTI and it offered a smoking deal.  She had put $5 on account and nearly a decade later, she still has 14 cents left. But then out of nowhere, that 14 cents disappeared. “It is 14 cents, but it is my 14 cents,” she said.

 Jesus Christ, lady.  I can’t even say you’re nickel and diming them because, well because 14 cents is less than a nickel and a dime.  You have undershot the term “nickel and diming”.  That’s impressive.  That’s like having a menage a trois with one other person.

Soon after, Maitland got a check for 14 cents.

Yaaaaaaaaay.  I love street justice.
