Verizon
How to write a cheque! (in American speak: how to write a check!)
If you don't know the back story, here is the main link to The Consumerist where the story is told in a couple of updates which details how Verizon doesn't understand that 0.002 cents is not the same thing as 0.002 dollars! This difference is especially big when you consider that the money is in relation to kilobytes downloaded via someone's phone.
I especially like the "WHAT NOW, BITCHES?" in the memo field. If I could write checks like this I still would. You couldn't have the same impact with a debit or credit card. Unless you said it verbally... which, depending on local, might get your ass handed to you or thrown out of an establishment. Hm....
