Why can't the US Postal Service stop dicking around with these odd postal rates and simply use 5¢ increments? I'd much rather they slightly overcharge me and make it more convienient than edge up the rates by pennies at a time every few months. It's just fucking annoying.

Especially to those of us who rarely use outgoing mail. Nearly every one of my bills can either be paid online or at a counter in a HEB. The only bill that can't be paid this way is a loan from Wells Fargo and I pay over and above what they ask for monthly so I have several months of time between actually mailing something out. Of course, I do believe they offer an automated service which withdraws the necessary amount out of an account of mine, but I dislike those services...I'd much rather pay bills according to what I know my balances to be and not on a rigid schedule.

Which means about three times a year I am forced to remind myself the stamps I bought a few months ago are no longer "First Class."

So, yeah. Screw this lame-o postage pricing system. Up with nickle increases which are evenly divisible by five! Down with weird-ass 37¢ stamps!
