I get pissed off a lot when some company sends me bullshit charges and fees for things like "handling" or whatnot. So I was wondering if it would cause them any problems whatsoever if I sent bullshit charges and fees back to them.
For example, if every time they sent me a bill, could I send them a bill back demanding a "handling" fee for "processing the transaction" or something? I mean, sure maybe I'll never see the money, but would it cause them any kind of headache as they tried to figure out if the charge was "legitimate" or not?
In some way, I think it might be fun sending, say, a credit card company a bill for "processing" every credit card offer they send me (you know, those damn things they send you in the mail like every fucking day). Then, after the due date has passed and I don't get a check in the mail, I can start harassing them every week with calls like, "Hello, this is so-and-so from the collections department of..." while threatening to destroy their lives and kick them out on the street in the middle of winter. Hell, maybe if we all did it, the blood-sucking capitalists would go crazy from the constant *****ing and descend into some kind of mental illness that would cause them to all simultaneously commit suicide.
But seriously, would this cause them any kind of bureaucratic headaches or do they already have some kind of system in place to weed out bullshit invoices?
