I got a rather large invoice sent back.
It was for time just before Christmas to the end of January.
On the invoice we had some mileage charges, 5 miles were in December. The rest in January. The IRS number for 2024 is $0.67/mile, for 2025 it's $0.70/mile so client was overcharged $0.15.
The time invested sending it back to me, me "fixing" it, sending it forward again. Oh well live and learn.
Ya, time spent billing is the worst part. I charge portal to portal with no extra charges for mileage or reference maps etc. Makes for a pretty simple invoice.
15¢
I got a bill from the IRS once for 11¢.
I recently got a check from the state of California for $1.05. I'm happy to send you $0.15 from it if you'd like. You know, to help keep the insane bureaucratic lack of efficiency going.
No billing nightmares for me, but I got a couple laughable class action payout checks that I've hung onto. I think one was 3 cents and I forget how much the other one was.

The attorneys laughed a lot harder.
The only class-action settlement I recall receiving anything from was a voucher towards the purchase of a new Chevrolet or GM vehicle. I can't remember the dollar value. Not enough to inspire me to rush out and buy a brand new ride. This was for the sidesaddle gas tanks on their pickups.
@peter-lothian Yeah, gotta love when the offender offers you more of their defective crap.
I got emails as part of a credit monitoring data breach suit or something and one of the settlement options was to get a free year of credit monitoring. I never used the service so I don't know how I was even involved, but it's like look you morons couldn't do it right in the first place and now you're asking me to double down? The much less advertised cash option was $7 which I took.
It's a simple matter of them wanting to hold onto their money for as long as possible and it's ridiculous.
