Everyone that is using bitcoin rightn ow is experiencing this. If you want to avoid paying hefty fees and you're just wanting to have a good way to send small amounts of bitcoins(under 0.05 BTC) to whoever, wherever, then what i actually suggest you do is deposit your funds to coinbase, and use their offchain transfers. No fees no matter how small the transaction is, although this is definitely not the most secure way to hold your funds as you are trusting someone else to hold your private key, and we all know that does not end ery well when you risk too much money for too long.

The UASF should bring some sort of relief to this situation. The transactions will get smaller when Segwit gets activated, so that blocks can be less full, and miners have financial incentive to confirm transactions that have less fee, bringing the fees down. But that won't happen until 1st August, so as i said if you deal primarily with micropayments it's best to use off-chain, internal website transfers right now.
