I once ran up a $300 AOL bill. Back when they charged by the hour.

I rang up over a thousand dollars in charges for using a number outside of my local exchange, which was at the time considered long distance (same area code). I had spent a couple days camping out in an IRC channel.

Ah yes when "local long distance" plans were an unfortunate thing.
