This story caught our attention. So we did a "who's the jerk?" This is when we try to determine who is at fault or to blame. Here is what happened.

The Daily Mail says a Las Vegas tourist was recently shocked after receiving a $224 bill for using a hotel wall socket. Sharina Butler was penalized for unplugging an electronic mini-bar so she could charge her phone.

A tiny note on the mini-bar tray explained that there would be a $56 charge for every day that it remained unplugged. Sharina later blocked the charge on her credit card in response to the fee. She said, "There's no way you're charging me $56 to use a socket. The writing on the tray is THIS small! Why am I reading a tray when I'm not touching it? The only thing it should be saying is that if you move something off the minibar, you will be charged, right? But that wasn't the case."

So who is the jerk? Check it out below.
