It's a Jeep forum full of knuckleheads. Did you enter this conversation thinking we were going to have a philosophical debate on the extent of my assholedness? Stop taking yourself so seriously. I'm well aware that I'm a dickhead.
Am I the A-hole? Another terrible customer service story.

And from my count, the vote is about 50/50. Just cause the Godfather isn't in my camp doesn't mean the yeas have it.
Since it seems like some are keeping score,
@Pokahpolice I vote, No, you're not an asshole because of this, for other reasons maybe
(I would have done the same), to add to that, you did have a valid reason to be one though! Some people have come to believe a small percentage increase to a bill after the fact should be acceptable without notifying the consumer. I call bull shit, that is not a way to run a business. They knew there was going to be a shipping charge and neglected to disclose that.
It's pretty common place in the auto repair industry to give an "Estimate" for repairs but you never see them giving you the final cost of repairs or a "Invoice Total", until the job is done. The reason being is, it's pretty common for repairs to run into "snags" they also have this little law protecting them that varies from state to state that allows them to go up to x% above the estimate without having to call the customer.

Only an asshole would sue and throw the parts away. But that’s a given considering the guy who said it. 
I’m legit doing $6.6M in revenue because I’m an expert on issues. The entire industry exists because it’s so difficult to get insurance companies to pay medical bills.
$6.6M of revenue that doesn't have anything to do with creating value, just undoing The Government. Not a jab at you @Pokahpolice, just general anti-gov't commentary.
Edit: you're also a general asshole

I would describe myself as more of a sarcastic prick but I don’t disagree with your assessment.
