Yes, that's exactly what it's like.

Except unlimited cokes are only $60, yet my bill is $21,000. Hmm, does that seem logical? Ethical? Reasonable? Maybe predatory?

What do you want to do next? Twinkies? That'll really make a new point.

That argument only works if you had a choice to pay. You don't. So why not try and keep those tax payments as low as possible?

sounds like something the client outta look into vs signing his life away.

is it any more ethical to walk on something "you" signed up for and get bit by?

I think most people would consider an unemployment check to be more of a "necessity" than having the FD come unlock your door when you could have hired a locksmith. So now the FD has to spend probably 3-4 thousand dollars to come to your rescue, when you could have paid a locksmith only a hundred or so.

Oh look, we've come full circle:

You know damn well Verizon's contract makes the data charges as indecipherable as possible. I don't have one in front of me but expect it would read along the lines of: if you opt out of the $60/month unlimited data service plan, you will pay a per use fee of $0.001943/kilobyte.

Now, forgetting that you know what a kilobyte really is because you use the internet every day, what sounds like the better deal if you don't plan on using data much if at all? How exactly should this guy, while standing at the Verizon counter with pen in hand, research what a kilobyte is and how many his son could be charged for when accessing an average web page?

I guarantee everyone in this thread crying "he signed the contract" has, more than once, agreed to terms without crawling through it line-by-line. Even if you did take the time to read each one of them, you wouldn't understand them anyway.

But go ahead and condone a $21,000 utility bill for him, he's just some guy you've never met, right? I bet the same people will cry about how the world is full of people that only care about themselves next time one of those threads come up, too.

And of course when you sign up for a utility service, incorrect usage for 1 month should translate to "signing your life away." It's just good business.

Ed, do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer? Care to give me a cliffs notes version of the EUL off the top of your head?
