But I work for the little bit of money I make, so I make sure ALL of my bills are correct. I'd sure as hell notice a $33 charge on my bill that didn't belong there, and I would complain to have it removed. |

The location is completely irrelevant. Qworst shouldn't be charging a customer for moving when they didn't move! The fact that the "rural bumpkin" noticed the charge only goes to show that she(he?) pays attention and is responsible with her finances. |

I scrutinize my bill all the time. This enables me to correct any overcharges/errors in my bill. I even scrutinize my receipt when I go grocery shopping. Many times stores overcharge you. Another thing you need to look at is sales tax. Sometimes, you get charged tax on non-taxable items. So, while you may see this act as someone who "don't have anything better to do but comb through your bills and scrutinize every item", I see it as an act of someone who is smart. |

But when you're rural bumpkin, you really don't have anything better to do but comb through your bills and scrutinize every item. I'm sorry but I have to disagree here. If a bill is roughly the same amount every month, as utilities or phone and internet usually are, then you're going to notice a $33+ increase. Then you start combing through the bill to find out why it went up.
Oh, and I just moved here from San Diego so there's no need to mention that I live in bumblef**k nowhere, MO.
