Well, it turns out I was on the other end of the utility stupidity. I
recently terminated service at southern California Edison. They sent me a
bill here in Michigan and I paid it. Apparently, their computer thought it
was paid late, and assessed a penalty of $0.08 - eight cents! I called them
and asked if they really required this to be paid, as many utilities waive
it if it's under a dollar.
Nope. I had to pony up 43 cents in postage to pay an 8 cent bill! Who
knows what the cost to them is to actually process it....
Go figure. Anyway, my carburetors are on their way back from Jim Taylor, so
I will have something to do other than rant!

can be just as guilty.
I received a check from AT&T for an 'account credit balance refund' in the
amount of $0.01. ONE CENT. No doubt the cost of doing that has caused my
(our) telephone bill to be increased.
Hey! A penny is a penny. I took the check to the bank and cashed it.
