Just whose convenience is your 25% &#8220;convenience fee&#8221; for? You guys are a scandalous monopoly. I&#8217;ve had better customer service from the Mafia &#8211; at least they&#8217;re family-run.

from toothpastefordinner.com
If you&#8217;d told me even six months ago that I&#8217;d be scooting a quarter litre of warm saline up my nose every night, I&#8217;d be all like, &#8220;yeah, chinny reckon&#8220;. But sadly, and this may be heading into TMI territory, it&#8217;s true.
