SHIFTHEADS: Inside Copy: A Burned Down House Wasn't Reason Enough To Cancel

If you have ever sat on hold trying to cancel something you no longer want, this one is going to make your blood boil in a way you did not expect. It starts small, a gym that will not let go without two more payments, a provider charging three hundred dollars just to walk away, and it builds to a story about a couple who lost their home to wildfire and still had to fight to be released from a bill. Then things take a turn toward the absurd. A festival built around chaos and clowns ends up producing a real arrest, and not for the reason you would guess walking in. And if you have ever wondered what a piece of fried chicken history is actually worth to the right buyer, an auction in Kentucky just answered that question in a way that will make you look twice at your own junk drawer.
