This guy shows up at my house today and says I owe him
$2000.00. - and I'm like :wtf: This guy must be crazy.
He says he's from the electric company and he's going
to turn off the power if we don't pay him immediately.
Says that he'll take cash, check, or money order. I'm still like :wtf:
I tell him I'll be going postal before I give him two grand.
And that there has obviously been some kind of mix-up
on the part of the electric company. We use automatic bill pay, and
it withdraws from the checking account each month, no problem.
I even show him the bank statements to prove it.
He says he has his orders, and that there is nothing I can
do to stop him. So he does it. Pulls the meter, covers it up,
locks the meter box shut and walks away. I'm standing there like :wtf:
So I decide to take matters into my own hands and I go to
the garage, fire up the generator, plug in the air compressor
and use a cut off wheel to cut through the lock he put on
the meter box. Then I jumped the connections so we have
power again in the house. All this time the guy is sitting in
his truck, apparently looking for something. That's when
I notice, a few feet away, a cell phone on the ground.
Wait till he gets his bill.......
