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…

DUDE THIS!!! We have electric wall heaters. Turned that shit OFF as soon as we saw last month’s bill and haven’t turned them on since. Been freezing our asses off for over a month for more money? I.am.so.con.fused.and.pissed.off

I'm single guy living in a 1 bedroom apartment, I work 3-4 days per week and I'm gone 14hrs during those days and my bill came out to $240

How much time you're gone is literally irrelevant unless you have smart thermostats which turn off while you're not home

What do you mean it’s easy to turn off before you leave for work. I turn it off for bed time and turn back on once the morning has warmed up a bit
