Go buy a new phone and use it for a couple of min without fully
charging the battery and return the phone.  Do this a few times and I
guarantee that you will feel better.

There was a story about the ETR and how they still charge the original
owner of a transponder even when it has been reported stolen.  Now, I
have a 5 cent credit and because of that they have to send me a
statement every month.  

There is no excuse for bad policies that places consumers at a
disadvantage.  I know that some smart-ass will flame me about how it
will increase the cost, etc. I know that, but spite is very powerfull.
Do boycotts do the same thing (increase costs), yes, so if that is a
good thing (i.e. noble action...fighting for a cause), then what I am
doing should be seen as the same thing.
