Convenient My Ass!!

**Warning some language may be inappropriate for small children. Parental Discretion is advised**

Last week I was sitting down going through my mail and I saw my HOA bill. Since this is the only bill I have to actually mail a check to I decided to get out my checkbook and write the check. I had the bill in the envelope and everything ready to go and then I got distracted and a day later I looked for the envelope and I can't find it. WTF!!!!

I find the statement to mail another check and it says you can now pay online! Nice because I pay EVERYTHING online. I grab the statement and go to the website all excited! The web page opens and it says to pay your HOA dues click here. I click. The page is redirected to the Bank of Omaha page. Already I'm not liking this thing but I wait. Then on the Bank of Omaha page it says Homeowners click here to pay with a credit card. So I click there still kind of confused but waiting to see what happens. Finally the page for me to enter my credit card information pops up and it asks for my information. I start to put my basic name and address information as requested. Then I get to an area that explains the "Convenience Fees"!!! Umm....okay for a $94.50 HOA due I would have to pay a $5.00 convenience fee!! I don't think so!! How the hell is that convenient at all??? Oh, and $5.00??? Really?? $5.00??? That is a Starbucks coffee!!! My HOA is a DICK!!

I hate places that charge so much to pay online! I think the name of the fee should be changed to the "Screw you over fee". I will now be going to the post office so screw you HOA and your convenience fees!!!

More to come
