    I absoluely HATE paying for our cell phones.  I barely ever talk on it, use it once in awhile for web and texting, but geez they really rob you!  If I didn't need to keep in touch with my daughter, then I think I'd get rid of it.  The taxes, surcharges always seem to be ripping you off! 

     

    What's your least favorite bill to pay??

    Probably the cable bill. It includes our tv, internet, and home phones but it's so high! It's literally one of our highest bills. I think I hate it mostly because it stays the same every month and I just glare at it. Lol.

    ALL OF THEM!  I hate paying for internet.  I hate it! 

    I also hate paying my medical bills.  That is the only bill I really have, but I have several of them.  I had an emergency appendectomy in february and I will be paying it off for two years.  Of course, none of the bills I pay actually help my credit (eye roll!)  So wrong.

    I also hate student loans.  SO WRONG!

    I'm inclined to agree with the OP, our cell phone bills!  The worst was a few months back when I noticed the bill was unusually high and I went through it and realized they had been ripping us off HARDCORE for a year!  All of our Fab Five numbers were being CHARGED and there were things on the bill that I had never paid for!  It took TWO HOURS on the phone with our provider to get it sorted out and now I have to go through the bill every month with a fine toothed comb!

    Highway Robbery when you consider what people in Europe and China pay for their service (next to nothing!)

    AT&T is really evil with our internet- they started charging us more every month (a lot more) and told us we were "upgraded."  It took forever to get someone decent on the phone to fix it!

    Now, they have been sending us a bill for our new place and our old place (even though DH called and canceled it.)  I swear, they are the most evil company.  They do it on purpose, so I hate paying them for internet at all!

    Our HOA fees. They are worthless and our board is full of a bunch of old nags. We recently received a noise complaint- I called the lady in charge to find out exactly what was going on (our walls are pretty thin and the dryer has an annoying buzzer that can't be turned off- I assume it's this)- no answer for over a week. In fact, we can never get a hold of her. Last year there was a snow storm and the snow removal team forgot the do our side of the parking lot. My husband was essential duty at work and needed to get in- we called her, her asistant, our board, EVERYONE- no one picked up because they had a snow day. His ship had to send a special van to come pick him up.

    I despise my student loan payment.

    My bachelor's degree that I worked my booty off to graduate in 4 years that got me absolutely NO WHERE in life.  Luckily, I got 75% of my college expenses paid in scholarships...but I still have loans to pay back.

    My car payment, which is actually more than my student loan payment, is my favorite to pay.  I LOVE my car and I feel bad for loving something so insignificant...but I just can't help it. Being able to afford my car (I don't drive a mercedes or anything, its actually considered an "economy" car) means that I graduated college, was lucky enough to get a decent job, and took it upon myself to get something I wanted.  I'm proud of it!

    Still...my student loans and kiss my @** and I can't get it paid off soon enough!

    Student loans. Only some of them. I had to withdraw at one point for medical reasons and knowing that I'm paying for $8k in loans and only recieved about 6 credits from it gets to me.

    The verizon bill. It includes my FI's cell (mine now too which was just added!), the internet, hulu plus and the home phone line... it was $343 this month without my line on it... I'm scared to see next months!

    I hate where we live (for those of you who stalk me on WB, our loud neighbor is STILL not gone), so I feel like rent is the worst check I have to rent each month because I'm so unhappy with this apartment complex.

    The other one I hate paying is our grocery bill. I have health problems that arise if I don't eat healthy all the time, so I have to buy the greens and "good for you" food that NEVER seems to go on sale. It sucks that our society seems to punish us for being good to our bodies!

    LOL, what a great question for me today.  I hate the cable bill the most, but cable news and real housewives has been the only thing keeping me sane for the last few months. 

    And Union Dues - what a worthless sucky bill that is, most of it goes to the international to give to politicians who are working against the very union they are taking money from.  ARG!!!  The rest goes to pay the slugs at the hall and their dinner bills - don't even get me started on that, I could seriously rip some ass over that one.  Shouldn't they be working to get us better insurance and not buying expensive bottles of wine with our due money.

    My home phone and internet (combined bill).  I wish I could bundle the internet with our cable - but I'd have to change carriers and there isn't a good provider that will do both.

    As soon as I was done with my cell phone contract I didn't renew it because I hardly used and I hate throwing away money! If I need to call someone I can use the landline I pay $25 a month for. I don't need to be cool. :)

    I hate paying my student loans the most.

    @PitBulLover: Yes def t-mobile is pissing me off!  They shut our phones off after maybe a week overdue bill.  Back in the day they would have given you a break.  20 bucks per line to turn service back on plus the past due bill.  I hate them now.

    @Carolyn72: YUP! That's only a (very small) part of why I hate them right now. First and foremost, we owed them only $20, not our full bill amount and they shut all 3 lines off over $20 then wanted to charge $20 per line to restore! SO it would have cost us $80 to restore over just $20 not paid. DH fought them on that and we ended up only paying the $20 that we owed from our bill, but still. They're just so ridiculous.

    Medical bills and Groceries. I HATE having to pay for something I didn't willingly cause, like thyroid cancer. Yea. I wished that upon myself and now I have to pay through the nose because I got sick. Groceries for a family of four here are like SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH LOW BALLING. Ugh. We don't even eat fancy or anything. Thats robbery. People need to eat to survive. I understand supply and demand, but really...5 dollars for milk? Did like a million cows die?

    @Carolyn72: That's why I'm leaving tmobile and signed on with verizon this week... tmobile was on my last nerve! They changed my monthly plan bill they charged me the $20 restore fee for being a few days past due PLUS a late fee. I had the most insane phone bill out of nowhere! I stayed the last few months I had to and my contract is up Friday so were shutting it off. Can't wait to see what happens with that!

    @HappilyEverAfter54: I wish we could get away from them.  we just renewed like assholes, lol..... oh well. i guess i just gotta make sure to pay every penny exactly on time.  it's so hard though with so many other bills to pay.  I guess that's what being a grown up is all about.  working your life away to pay stupid bills.

    So weird all of the problems with T-Mobile... I've never had an issue with them and will recommend them to anyone who will listen (possible AT&T merger aside). I'll have to keep a close eye on my bill, I guess.

    @Aure: I also have never had a problem with T-Mobile! The customer service hasn't ever been any less than outstanding. When my step-father was going through chemo, our phone bills skyrocketed due to us having to constantly be in touch with doctors. We explained the situation to them, and they paid our entire bill for us (which was over $300!)

    Anyway, I hate all bills. But I think medical, grocery, and car insurance top my list! Crazy how expensive things can be these days.

    @Aure: we never had a problem with them either. That was until recently with the thing mentioned above. Then DH got a smartphone (G2 Android) last OCtober. THat phone died in July of this year. They sent him a new one...after 2 months it stopped working...they sent him another one just a few weeks ago and after just a few weeks of having it he wasn't able to charge his phone unless he literally held the cord into the phone. He called them to get a new phone and they told him they didnt have any phones with Android operating systems (Ummm...???) then he mentioned a phone he had seen online which was less expensive than his original phone and they told him in order to give him that phone we would have to renew for another 2 yrs. This is just 1 month after the whole shutting off our service over $20 owed so why would we renew with them?? We have been with Tmobile for over 3 yrs and have never had any issues, great customer service, great cell signal....but literally so much in the past few months it's ridiculous!
