Had a buddy who went through the same thing with Comcast, they claimed he owed $600 out of nowhere. He spent two months sending them his old bank statements and screenshots of his payments to prove it was their error. Finally got it sorted but he says he'll never trust another bill again without checking every detail.

Yeah my buddy tried cutting through on that cell phone lot route once. Said he almost missed his flight because the lot was packed and he had to circle three times before finding a spot. But he still made it faster than sitting on 85. The trick is knowing exactly where you're going before you leave. Once you've done it a couple times it's smooth sailing. I'd still take that over sitting in terminal traffic any day.

Had to eat crow" is a perfect way to put it... I wrote those things off as too fancy for real work. Then I watched a guy on a jobsite lift a 600-pound sheet of glass by himself with one. Changed my whole mind about them.
