92,000 gallons?
I'm going ballistic.
last week (thursday) I got a call from the water company to tell me they had notice some unsual water useage for the unit I rent. She proceeds to tell me that starting in august up until now my meter is reading that I've used 92 THOUSAND GALLONS OF WATER.
allow me to give you a visual of how much water that actually is. a 24 ft by 4ft swimming pool holds 13,500 gallons of water. divide that number into 92 k and you get 6.81481148. so that would mean that in the last month I filled the equivalent of 6.8 swimming pools! Needless to say I couldn't use that much water if I tried. I'm not irrigating a vineyard. I don't have one pool let alone 6.
so the assholes tell me this and that I'm responsible for the $500.00 water bill associated with it...( I tel them I'll be taking that shit up with my landlord since I don't even OWN the fucking place.) but they have to CHECK to make sure that's an accurate reading and get back to me.
ok great. you think maybe you could be absolutely SURE before you call my broke ass up about 92,000 gallons of water? HUMMMMMM? So I ask...how long will it take you to get back to me about this because I'm now having a STROKE. ASAP, they tell me. So I notify my landlord...he's chill and says well, it's either a mistake or a leak under the house and I'll take care of that. I told him I'd let him know when I know more.
fast forward to today. I get the call from the water district. they say the meter is correct. FUCK! So there's probably a leak, or someone is somehow stealing water from me or somehting fucked up is going on here. Oh and also, they tell me that the meter was read on FRIDAY.
WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T I GET A CALL TIL NOW?????
this is a huge mess. a huge pain in the ass. and they can fuck themselves for $500 bucks cause I'm not paying for it. Bullshit.
I hate this fucking bullshit!!!!
being a grown-up totally sucks ass. I need a snack and nappy time before I take someone head off and shove in on to a stake.
*screams*
