YOOO PG&E WTF Work & Housing

800sq foot apartment. 2 people. Are. You. Kidding. Me.

Called PG&E to tell them they made a mistake. They said “hmm no it looks like the meter is working fine. Nothing we can do, that’s the price.”

No appliance change. No lifestyle changes. And even if we had, how the F*CKK could a 1bd apartment create a $630 bill?? Also yes, the previous bill. On me for not checking our auto payments. Just assumed they wouldn’t be more than $120….!? Dumb assumption on my part

I hate PG&E.

I know it’s a hostile statement. But I think we can all agree an exception can be made for PG&E…

I went away for two weeks to visit family in Florida. Literally wasn't home. All the lights were off, everything unplugged. PG&E bill for that month when I wasn't even home was somehow higher than last month's.

They just dream up a number and bill us. What're we gonna do, switch to another provider? Fuck PG&E. Steals money from average folks and then burns down their towns. I hope they burn one day.

Check your bill (easier if you have an online account) to see if your bill was/is being estimated.

If the answer is no to estimations of your electric and gas meter usage, call the 1-800# and ask to have your meters checked.
