$127 Wasted with Netflix
...not to mention the viewing pleasure of dozens of DVDs since 4/04. A shining example of my tenancy to procrastinate, I had a DVD out for 16 months! Add this to the list at "Longest Time You've Kept a Netflix Movie?". Looks like I'm not the most delinquent (MRS LINKOUS has probably the entire community beat).

Poor Kill Bill, Vol. 1 somehow I lost you in the move last year.
In my own defense, it was lost not sitting on my DVD player waiting to be watched for all that time. What's my problem, you ask? Well, I guess I was convinced that it would eventually turn up, and I anticipated a painful customer service experience. I was wrong about both. We've effectively had a 2-DVD's-at-a-time plan for almost 1 1/2 years -- until recently.
1/3 of of my $20/month subscription for 16 months went towards the piece of mind Netflix offers in the form of no penalties instead of going towards renting movies. I don't really have anyone to blame but myself here. I recently learned about how painless their "Report Problem" feature is. I was fairly charged an additional $20.
Ashamed, I realize I could've bought 2 box sets (like 6 Feet Under's last 2 seasons) for less than the amount of the money wasted in the ordeal.
