How to lose money you haven't made yet

So I have a bank account with BB&T. Lately bills have been getting kinda bad, and so it's hard to keep a sturdy track of my finances. Well, it seems I made an overdraft on my account. No big deal right? I'll just pay the usual 35$ fine and go on my way, right? HAHAHAHA NO. Instead I pay the 35$ fee for the overdraft, 4 other 35$ fees for things bought the day BEFORE I made the overdraft, and another 35$ for something bought before I made the overdraft, but only finalized the day after, which, after my check arrived today, left me with 60$..owed. That's right. They took my entire check, and I STILL owe them 60$. I'm going to try and sort this out monday, but it doesn't look good, and for right now, I'm penniless.

So, has anybody else here been royally screwed by the banks? And if not, what bank do you use? I think it's time for me to switch. This isn't the first time they've done this.
