Is it there yet?
One of my favorite sayings at work is "your logic has no place in business"
It seems everyday you run into more policies that just don't work out in real life.

I know a few years ago, if you were to do something like this, it might be highly possible that you could take a car off lease and sell it for more than what the balance was on the lease and "make money" so to speak in circumstances. In my case, I had GMS pricing, but never tried doing it.

Or a Cordoba, with smooth Corinthian leather.

Great story, call them a hundred times today.

Last year I got a call from my alarm company saying I'm delinquinet and my account will go to a collection agency. Apparently when they installed the alarm they did not add up the various fees correctly. I had paid them what they told me to pay, but they had made an error of 50 cents. Idiots!

That reminds me of an old phone bill. I had the line disconnected when I moved. I paid the last bill and thought I was done. Nope. I got a new bill for $0.13 about a month later. It cost them more than the debt in postage (yes even the metered kind). I didn't want to pay it on principal that it would cost me more in postage than it would to pay the bill (plus I would have had to waste a check which weren't free). Not to mention, I wanted to see how many times they would send me a bill for $0.13. Total, twice. I'm guessing at some point either a human being figured it wasn't worth it and cancelled it, or their computer software was updated to negate any bill under the cost of postage.
