Why do we?

by shahid on June 30, 2005

  • Why do we pay rent a month in advance, but get our salaries a month in arrears? Why do we tolerate this? Why is the monetary system rigged against honest people? (Ignore the fact that I currently don’t have a salary)
  • Why do we get parking tickets for being a minute past the expiry time of a pay-and-display or parking meter, but we don’t get the money back from parking time we haven’t used? Why can’t we issue tickets to the council? The council we pay a thousand pounds a year to already?
  • Why do banks charge us £35 for going overdrawn a solitary penny? It’s not like we send them letters reminding them that they owe us a hundred quid and charget them the appropriate interest for it, never mind the £35 they charge us for a penny, not including the per-day overdraft fee and the loan-shark interest rate applicable for that period.
