    With 3 hours and 57 minutes to go, you hit your monthly download limit and, without warning by email or otherwise, you get charged an extra £5.

    And since I'm now in the next monthly period (as from last midnight), I can't see the detail for the previous month, other than I went 30Mb over the limit, FFS.

    It's the smug "We've taken £5 off you as a favour" that really pissed me off.
    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

      People that abuse a service and then complain when they get charged for it.

      People that don't read their contracts

      Oh and suppliers that don't use any discretion and are smug about it

              Supermarket pies that won't come out of the foil tray and have to be extracted in bits resulting in a mess.

                  Waiters in Italian restaurants who don't give you any time to taste your food before asking you if you want pepper on it.

                    The deeply ridged underside of the tray that Sainsbury's sausages come in, that make it unnecessarily hard to pull the polythene back over the sausages to keep too much air from getting at them in the fridge.
