YOOO PG&E WTF

[u/Prestigious-Hour6707]

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.

I had a similar situation happen to me when I lived in San Diego and I had turned the breaker off before leaving. Contacted SDG&E and once I told them I had the breaker off they came and found out they had been charging me for the wrong meter for the entire 3 years I lived here. I was eventually credited back some of the money I was overcharged but never saw receipts to prove it was correct. The technician they sent out also told me that sometimes when the smart meters aren't working properly, they use an algorithm to estimate what they think you would have used and charge you that "random" number. Energy companies can kick rocks
