so I guess the DWP shut off my power cause I hadn't paid the bill in a while and their pay by phoen service was nt working so I had to run down to the office on my lunch break to pay the thing in full (it was a whopping $450 gently caress my loving dick DWP we had like a 3k bill at one of the houses I lived in during college and you didnt do poo poo) Anyways they are all like your power will be back on by 6 at the latest, and so 6 comes around and still no power so I call them to be like WTF where is my electricity!! And the lady tells me, oh they restored service hours ago but the guy said he could hear somethign go on in your apartment so legally he couldn't leave the power on in case it started a fire so he switched it off at the box. So she tells me I have to go find the meter and switch it back on myself and I know gently caress all of where the meters are, and she says the guys notes said they were on the wall in the middle of the parking garage -- NO its way off to the side behind the elevator in a little room! So finally 20 minutes later I have power, you think they could have like mentioned to me that "hey youre service is restored but you gotta go do this thing before you have power again" instead of just leaving me LITERALLY IN THE DARK (well not really sun is still up lol) anyways I guess that is why you should not be lazy and not pay the power company for months on end even if it is annoying having to pay the stupid $50 or whatever it is every 2 months. that is my story for today has anyone else gotten pwnd by the power company?

I haven't paid my home offices landline bill for two months. I thought I did, but their website sucks dick and apparently I didn't and now I owe them 300 dollars by the 15th. Anyhow, I'm probably just going to go shoot a bunch of folks at their local office instead of paying up.

One time in college I moved to a new apartment and didn't set up the utilities in my name. I waited 8 months until they turned my power off, then told them I had just moved in last month and that there must be a problem with their system. 7 months free. if you get pwned by any utility you are bitchmade

paying utilities is retarded, when we first moved into this apartment we did not pay a single power bill for the entire first year we lived here, total bill was like ~700 I think, its retarded to shut off my power because I am too lazy to pay bills

When I moved into my present basement flat, (!) I had a prepay meter that was probably a ripoff, Anyway, the landlord promised to modernise this big old house, and a bunch of bullshit, meaning we have mold on the walls and some sort of fungi growing out of the skirting board due to them hiring some loving chimps to do the water. however, I had to wait a couple of years before they decided to change all the meters from prepay to regular billing ones, as the electricity was going to be a bigger job than the water, not to mention that some of the plumbing went through the whole houses electricity & what have you "closet". of course the chimps managed to gently caress that up meaning we had water spraying around that. did I mention that on the other side of the wall from this obv fire hazard was my flat? Anyway, Meters came, and I look into energy suppliers, I chose one and start paying them, however, another electricity supplier sent me a letter claiming tl;dr burn it to the ground, salt the earth.

Nooner posted:holy gently caress that is legit Part of most leases is having to have the utilities in your name at time of residence. The power company is going to go searching for those missing months of payments and it won't be hard to connect the dots. Either landlord terminates lease or bills the leasee for the bills plus any accrued late charges/interest.

My dad is really old and he told me back in the day they used to have power boxes on the outside of a house so they would rope a door shut and turn their power off and laugh at them when they try to get out then run away. Also one time some campers tried camping on our ranch and he burned their campsite down while they were hiking or whatever he said. I'm pretty sure he murdered them all though. There was definitely a burned down campsite and noone ever came back to check on it.

I lived in a condo for years that had all utilities tied into flat rate condo fees. Shower for a full day with every light on and you wouldn't pay a cent more on your monthly bill.

So you can't even figure out how to pay your bills without using a phone, but you expect us to trust you with wiring up a transformer? What local are you applying at, your training director and I need to have words.
