Reminds me of my recent angst with my lawyer's bill. The guy charges me

0.6hrs at $195/hr to go to the bank and cash an escrow account for credit

towards my $12k legal bill. Ok, I'm not objecting to that. But when he

charged me $0.56 (yes, 56 cents) for postage costs...well, that was like

salt in the wound. The guy is good, but at that rate, don't you think

they could not charge the postage? Ugh.
