Rectal Bleeding (a.k.a, "Banks are Evil")

So, in 2009 the average household paid 13 overdraft fees in the year. The last time I paid any kind of overdraft fee was shortly before I jettisoned BB&T Bank (I would not shed a tear to hear that their corporate HQ had burned to the ground and wiped out every last one of the bastards responsible for their fee structures). This was at least four years ago. Back then, they were charging $35/overdraft (and were pretty shady in how they piled them on). Thirteen charges at $35 per charge: that's a  whole lotta cheddar. I mean, that's over $400/year that just goes "*POOF!*" I gotta think that the fees haven't gotten any lower since my days with BB&T.
