24. Oh man ostrich! I hear you!
We had to close a business this summer (after being in biz for 20 years)

The icing on the cake -- nail in the coffin whatever you want to call it was from the overdraft fees we incurred due to one bounced check for like 300 dollars from a customer...it cost us about a thousand dollars in overdraft fees (plus)

They've got you coming and going and as far as I am concerned these banks and credit card companies are just out and out thieves.
