Bloody bank fees

I didn't really appreciate the perks of working in a bank until after I left my bank job. Since then, I'm become ultra-aware of the humungous amounts of money bank customers are being charged, for the privilege of leaving their money with someone who gets to use it to make even more money. I was only two measly days late with paying my credit card bill (in full). Two measly days, and I got charged about twenty bucks interest.

And another thing - banks use lousy grammer. I saw a poster advertising some bank, and it read 'Pay less fees'. Surely it should be 'Pay smaller fees' or 'Pay fewer fees'? Besides, I think it's aimed at the under-30s, so perhaps it should be in 'txt' anyway.
