I heard about this new tax on tobacco. I think it is a little steep but hey, the guy bought the cigarettes, he knew the price. There was no need to complain to the bank. Some people will do anything just to pinch a penny.

Yeah, no kidding. I think he's only bitching because he's trying to weasel out of the 15 dollar overdraft fee. People just need to be more conscientious about managing their account balances, that's all. Guy gets zero sympathy from me.

So does the companion article on the page a little further down (North Texas man gets $23-quadrillion charge) mean we should stop -eating-?

CNN reported this story today and added that there were more than 12,000 Bank of America customers that had this financial experience. The single occurance of 23 quadrillion and change was more than 2000 times the national debt! Is BoA trying to create their own bailout???
