i went to my parents house last night for dinner. while we were all hanging out my dad took a look at his cable bill. they asked me how much i was spending on internet connection and cable. they're spending more than i am and they are getting the same service. So as we went through the bill we noticed things like 35 cents for the cable remote, $2.50 for the on-screen guide, and $5.50 for the cable box. Well the problem is... they don't have a cable box, a cable remote, and therefore no on-screen guide. Today my dad called em on it. They reduced the bill and made it retroactive to when the cable company took the old cable box. Just makes you pissed at every company out there with 10 page bills. If you don't have a magnifying glass chances are they're sneaking charges in there somewhere.
