Fun with Paying Bills

Fun with Paying Bills

by rubyblood

Paying bills sucks, it's not something that I volunteer to do, so I like to make it fun. Here's a few ideas to try next time you have to pay an overpriced bill.

1) If you're using a check write something fun in the 'memo' or 'for' blank. When I payed the even Qwest their final payment I wrote sons of bitches in the 'for' blank.

2) If you like leaving the bill on the table in restraunts, hide it really well. Like in the napkin despenser.

3) When making night deposits decorate the envelope. Put stickers on it, draw bunnies and rainbows, or just put some goofy shit on it. Then call in later that day and make sure they got your payment, usually they'll remember yours.

4) Here's something you can do with checks for a final payment. Make the check for like 5 cents over, then call in and demand that they refund it to you.

5) In retail stores you can really piss of a clerk by paying for a smell purchase with a check (because usually they have to write your drivers license # on it if it's not local), or with a credit card (its esp. annoying for them if they have a manual credit card machine). Then when you've paid, insist that they wrap it up.

6) I wonder if anyone makes checks with naked chicks on them?

7) Call in a lot to see if they've gotten your payment. Even if you haven't sent it in.

8) Make out the check in spanish or some other foreign language, what can they do about it?

9) I've always wanted to pay for something expensive with rolls of change.

10) Send in your payment with a mysterious yellow stain on it (no, I did not save the best for last).

That's all I can think of. In the future I hope to write a file on 'Fun with PBX' operators (I used to be one). Also some information on legal drugs as soon as I'm finished emperimenting with them. Until then live life as if it were gods joke.
