33 Yen

This just might be the smallest bill I’ve ever received in my life. I mean…what could I have possibly done that KDDI wants me to pay 33 yen for? It probably cost more to print that postcard, send it to me, and have me drive to the convenience store to pay it than the actual 33 yen that I apparently owe… At today’s exchange rate, this bill is roughly 36 cents, if I round up.

    Nice! KDDI just sent us a bill for 28 yen yesterday. The detailed printout said it was for a 1-minute call to the states (calling mom and dad to say "turn on the computer and fire up Skype for a video chat" probably).
  • Wow! You win by 5 whole yen, which may not seem like much, but it's a mere
    85% of my bill. Ha ha. 28 yen isn't bad for a 1 minute call, though. Ha ha.
    (If you had Yahoo BB Phone it'd have cost you a whopping 2.6 yen. It's 8 yen
    for every 3 minutes to North America. Nice.)

    This is a total FAIL on the part of KDDI. They spent more money sending you the bill than the actual bill itself.
  • Hey, if they want to lose money by billing me for less than what it cost to
    bill me, it's ok by me. Ha ha. I'll just giggle and look forward to the
    conversation I'll get to have with the cashier at the convenience store.
    There will be mockery.
