Jokes on you, I pre-pay my power bill once a fortnight.
Harg89
But if you forgot to pay the electric bill, how did you obtain the 'power' to take this photo?

I haven’t missed paying a bill in YEARS (thankfully) but when the power goes out it’s my 1st thought. And my husbands! Wonder why?

I looked at my account at the start of Jan and there was more money than I was expecting. Actually I'd got a bonus that my boss had forgot

Just did this at Xmas!

Been there lil buddy, been there.

Would be a bit more accurate if we reversed it :)

Shit! Did I pay the power bill?? Thanks for the reminder!
DunnowForgot
That doesn't go automatically? Power company here just writes it off every month, haven't touched it in the past 1,5 years.

Been there. Done that. In the dark.

Had this happen recently, Google threw out a 'here's a bill reminder' on a bill I had already paid. But it made me nervous and had to go
LupusLilium
check both my bank and the bill account to make sure it had actually been paid. Because I had a 'suspicious' amount of money this month.

A black square would have been funnier.

Co-incidentally, got a call from a "local" number to inform me my power bill was overdue and power would be shut off in 30 min. Scary scam!
ExquisiteConundrum
Also, is anyone else getting the " where are u?" Or "Hi there classmate." Texts? Like wat?
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
I keep getting 'Amazon' calling me because my prime account is now $800 a month lmao
mmmoser35712
Living off grid, got the same call.
johnnich1214
I've gotten that phone call twice in the last week. I like to see how long I can keep them on the phone before they hang up. Fuck those guys
AnoukdeR
The main (luckily) issue with the scammers is still that they want your money too fast. Normal companies dont threaten with 30 min deadlines
reallynotmikepence
Thank God they are willing to take itunes gift cards in payment though.

We just had a car insurance scam attempt. "Your drivers license is suspended. This call is going to take a while. You can email me persona--

Was it the department of energy savings? We get a lot of calls from them.

As if a utility could ever do something that quickly
boiphamet
Shit, utilities cut off asap, but you're looking at 2-3 business weeks to turn them back on
MacAwesome
If it is in their advantage, they are lightning quick
CaptainYesterday
Shut utilities off - quick, assisting at fire scenes to shut down live wires that are down? 12+ hours.
NotTheDevilYouKnow
By end of day tomorrow is the best they got.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
If even.

And we're all just assuming they'd call first.

I have literally forgotten to pay my water bill for like 3 months. (Thanks add) and my city was like oh yeah, hey you owe us money. 1
muchLongerUsername
Bills are quarterly here anyway, you could conceivably go all year.
ExquisiteConundrum
You should probably, maybe get to that eventually. What ever we aren't your mom. Had water the whole time. Even I thought that was weird.
Zaranthan
If the water is actually supplied by the city government and not a private company contracted by it, that's not surprising at all. 1/2
Zaranthan
2/2 That's how government is SUPPOSED to work. They're SUPPOSED to take care of people and sort out the money when there's time.
ExquisiteConundrum
Yes it is... and im grateful for it. FPL on the other hand, can go die in a fire lol

I was taking a shower once, and water turned off. This was at 4:55 pm on a Friday. I had to call about 5 different numbers to get ahold 1/

of a live person. They had to call someone else (and they were a real bitch about it, too) to find out what happened. They said they came 2/

to read the meter and it was running. They thought it was a leak. "No shit it was running, I WAS FUCKING USING IT." It took begging, 3/

pleading, and finally threatening to get them to send the dude back to turn it back on. I was livid.
