When banks secretly charge and take money from you for stupid
violations and penalties: ie
ATM machines, limited checking, under the minimum balance of an account, etc. and usually result in
pissing off their customers and gaining more money.
Example:
"Shit! I had $99.50 in my savings, but since the bank minimum is $100 for the account to stay active, they took out $4.50 in penalty
fees!"
"Damn Tom, they're
nickel and
diming your ass!"
