RANT: Being nibbled to death by late fees!

I really effing hate how credit card companies gouge their customers, especially with their policies on late fees. In the past several years, they're really raised the bar on them. First, they've moved up the date of the fee assessment so that if the check isn't physically there by X:00 PM on the day the bill is due, the cardholder gets dinged. Second, they've raised the amount to something obscene; the highest I've had to pay for a late fee is $39. I probably shouldn't name names, but their initials are MBNA.

It's like I'm being penalized for being poor. )

Two-sentence pithy sayings......

Some time ago, one of my LJ-friends -- it might have been [livejournal.com profile] maedbh7 but I can't find the post that asked for it -- was building a collection of two-liners -- pithy sayings comprised of two somewhat short sentences. Here are the ones I can think of.

Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
Boycott shampoo! Demand the real poo!
Fight crime. Shoot back.
Grow your own dope. Plant a man!
Fight big tobacco. Grow and roll your own.
Bad cop. No donut.
Here's a quarter. Call someone who cares.
Remember when I said I'd kill you last? I lied.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Snakes. Why did it have to be snakes?
It's 11 o'clock. Do you know where your children are?
Misery loves company. Anybody wanna be company?
They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally they became heroes.
You'll laugh, you'll cry! You'll kiss three bucks goodbye!
