A fee for paying a speeding ticket fine online. Convenience fees were invented by traffic courts after they implemented online fine payments. They recognized that traffic tickets were meant to be punitive and online payments of fines seemed less punitive than mailing a check or paying in person, so they are having traffic violators pay more for the convenience of paying online. Other greedy companies decided to copy traffic courts and decided to add convenience fees to their bills to customers.
Traffic violator: My fine is $105. I'll just pay online now that this option is available.
NJMCDIRECT: "$105 fine plus $3 convenience fee"
(15 years later)
Electric bill: "$62.25 plus $2.25 convenience fee"
Hertz rental car toll bill: "$4.25 tolls plus $19.98 convenience fee"
Former traffic violator: (Flashbacks to paying a speeding fine 15 years earlier) "Speeding ticket speeding ticket speeding ticket..."

Additional fees incurred in Central and South America by those of European-Decent for being white and foreign. (Namely Americans and Canadians) The opposite of Local's pricing. (They have other words that this author is uncomfortable using for non-white Americans and Canadians)
"Hey Man, I'm a local, don't try to give me those Gringo Fees"
"Is that the price for locals, or is that the Gringo Fee/Price?"
"Is that the price for locals, or is that the Gringo Fee/Price?"

It’s that thing where a couple wants to come over for dinner, but you only like the wife. So, you hang out with them for a couple of dinner dates, but in return, get to fuck the wife. That’s a Porkage Fee.
He only wants to talk about fishing and 2004 Mahtomedi varsity hockey games. But I let them come hang out a few times because she’s hot and the Porkage Fee was worth it.

I was told by da customer-service rep at my computer's manufacturer dat there would be a "nominal rate of $1.99 per minute" for tech-support, but I knew dat said service-call would likely take a good forty-five minutes, and so I decided to just wait till morning and ask my computer-geek buddy to take a look at it instead... no need to pay a phenominal fee of 90-plus bucks!
