I’m so excited! The ring came the day after futureSIL flew out for Christmas, so I’ve been about to burst for weeks now. They called me to tell me she said yes while I was out waking the dog and now my neighbors think I’m even weirder than they already did, because I boogied all the way back home.

OMG, congratulations to both of them! This is the kind of news that gives me a little hope for the world and for myself. I genuinely tear up whenever I hear about women getting engaged to each other.

Congrats all around! Nothing but love here!

My sister and her girlfriend can, as of about an hour ago, be more accurately referred to as my sister and her fiancée! Barf on that, Trump and Haters!

That’s fucked up. The city should have come out and read her meter. They transposed a number or something on ours once and I called and it was fixed and credited the next month.

Well, yeah, I mean they’d be SOL for many of us and it would have bounced but then who’s stuck with the overdrawn account as we try to explain this SNAFU to the bank?

One of the women from my office had like a $700 water bill and the water company wouldn’t help her understand how or why it happened, negotiate on the bill, or help her figure out a way to pay it. She’s a 70 year old woman living alone, she clearly didn’t use that much water. Luckily she could afford it but it was…

All I have to say about that display is: Holy Shitsnacks! I do not think the is what the baby Jesus would have wanted.

You’ve given me a wonderful Grinchy idea.

Nope. I get my bills in the mail, so I have a paper receipt, pay online and save said bills for a year. Nobody’s pulling that autopay shit with me.

She should finish up paying right around the same time as the heat death of the universe. Win-win!

One of the ladies in a guardianship my father managed a few years ago got a series of water bills from the municipal utility that estimated her monthly usage at over 200,000 gallons PER DAY. As the office assistant at the time, it was my responsibility to call and report the error. When the billing clerk blustered, I…

If you have electric heat you get a huge bill over the winter. Electric heat is a ripoff.

Gotta watch out for those migratory decimal points. When I was a programmer analyst for a municipal payroll system, we had a similar error. The system picked up the end date of the pay period and wrote a check for $200,312.31.

Tacky-Tax. Or was that repealed to protect Cheetolini’s decorating....er...’tastes.’

Well we’ll have our smirks wiped off when we find out she’s a supervillain who’s just gotten away with building an evil lair and powering it for free muhahaha.

This was probably Trump’s way of cutting the electricity bills for his billionaire buddies.

even with this intense nonsense i don’t know how you think you could end up owing one billion let alone 24.

And yes, crap like this is why I’m happy I don’t do auto pay.

I know my family would have dived for cover if they’d seen me pick up a phone after opening a bill like that. I’m less then rationale when I see something that is that outrageous. They might even dive tackle me to confiscate the phone and have someone less prone to yelling and calling everyone twits call the electric…
