Not just shit. Soggy, water-soaked shit.

Cancel with them as your uncle, start a new account with them as you? If that works and they still bitch about what's owed by the "property" ask them what the name of the property is since they're apparently billing inanimate objects.

Disclaimer: I know shit about utilities.

It'd work if I was the home-owner, but with me as a tenant and him as the home owner, his debt is still unavoidable.

Basically even if the bill is in my name, the house where the service is at is still in his name.

**hey** · 2013-04-17 03:34

How much does he owe, anyway? No possibility of paying it yourself?

**Cream Soda** · 2013-04-17 05:47

Between 2 and 3hundred and nope. I make enough for food and keeping the power/water (now formerly water) on and they wouldn't work with me in any way (such as transferring the forward balance I had on the water towards the county bill, since they're connected enough to where they can shut off my water, transferring funds shouldn't be an issue; no payment plan, etc.)

In my city, if you're rent the water department requires a $300 deposit that isn't refundable until you move from the property. When my wife and I moved into our house we're currently renting and were changing all the utilities to my name we were shocked to find this out. On top of it the city workers for the most part have the worst attitudes.

Maybe there is some sort of state aid that can help?

so i've had some Kitchen taps fitted the other week, i presumed they was like the old system i had the single foist with the side to side movement, just got to push it and nearly ripped it out of the basin thankfully i did not don't want to pay nearly £200 again ><

I have a motorcycle and I'm kinda too scared to go ride it to get more experience.

**Airenn** · 2013-04-17 22:06

Also, the internet is really sucking right now so it's hard to find reasons to NOT go ride it.

**Xantavia** · 2013-04-18 02:41

Fun time at work tonight (movie theatre). Internet was down so credit card transactions running really slow. Reward cards and gift cards not working at all. Registers randomly locking up all night. Since digital is "always the best and no problems ever unlike 35mm" couldn't get any new movies ready to play for this weekend since I couldn't connect to our server.

Biggest fail of the day was our District Manager. He was there and aware of no internet or email. He sees some problems he wants corrected. Does he tell us in person? No, the moron uses his phone to send us an email, then sends a second email after he gets back from dinner asking why we haven't done it yet. Only know about these emails because can access them from home.

And this guy gets paid 4-5x as much as you...astounding isnt it?

That sucks. Well your uncle is only in jail for another month, right? At least it won't be too long. Assuming he pays it when he's out..

**arus2001** · 2013-04-18 05:22

No possibility of CS asking a neighbor to run a hose from their house and just pay them whatever a month, eh?

Maybe if he didn't stay inside and laugh at his neighbors while they did his yard work lol.

Is it wrong that I kind of figured this was going to happen? Did you end up taking classes? If not, do so. Otherwise you're going to have to ride it because it's a waste of money now if you don't.

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-04-18 14:37

The rule of thumb my bike-riding friends used was to start out with a "shitty" bike to learn on, then sell it and get their real bike. Expensive, but it makes a certain amount of sense.

**Airenn** · 2013-04-18 15:05

I did take the classes. And I am riding it bit by bit. Did some miles last night, which is good because that was my first nighttime experience.

I have today off work and washing clothes. Once my jeans are done, I'mma ride to somewhere to eat. Purposely not eating anything yet so I'll be super hungry.

It's very slow turns that are terrifying. I have to find a balance to get myself through the turn without the bike falling to the side. And that's hard to do. Going fast and around "bigger" turns is really easy. I stalled a couple times at a light, but it's easy to turn back on and go.

Also, I have to go through the break-in period which is a number of miles under 5k RPM. Which means I can really only go 47~ MPH. I have to stick to back roads.

Edit: Also, to Brill, no it's not wrong. I predicted that, too. Especially since the boyfriend did the same thing. Although, he dropped his Ninja 650 ON the test drive. Bought it and kinda kept it in the garage for a bit cause he was uneasy. He rides the bike around as primary transportation now, though.

**Ksandra** · 2013-04-18 20:43

Not a complaint, just more like "wtf just happened?"

Started getting spam phone calls from this one number. When I answered there was no one on the other side. Finally some guy responds and is insanely crackly, sounds like he's in a car or something.

Can barely understand him, he finally shouts, "YOUR CAR INSURANCE"

I'm like, "What about my car insurance?"

Him, "fuck it, I don't even want to tell you anymore." and hangs up.

Bizarre.

**Kohan** · 2013-04-18 21:05

I would personally replace "bizarre" with "amazing."

**Ksandra** · 2013-04-18 22:30
