By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I found a letter in the postbox at my new flat which ran something along these lines of: "Hi. We're the gas company. You owe us £1,229.79 and have 7 days to pay us. Lotsa love, dated 7th September." FML

Did they spray it with perfume and make a lipstick kissy mark at the bottom too?

Maybe you should be paying your gas bill and not forgetting?

Maybe because this is the internet? Where pretty much everything is global? Answer your question?

I concur, sorry to say it but that's why a lot of people have a problem with Americans. Because they're seen saying stupid shit like 'Why can't all FMLs be from America' 'I can't relate to them'. Not even trying to relate to or understand people from a different background. Seriously? You can't relate to someone's boyfriend being stolen, being called ugly, an embarrassing mishap (which is what most FMLs are)? Maybe you should just read the American FMLs then...they're still in the majority. I know, I know, I live in Australia so I may be biased, but I was born in America and I still find FMLs from all over the world hilarious. Except maybe this one because no matter whether your living in England or America it's pretty friggin' obvious that you wouldn't have to pay a gas/utilities bill from before you lived in the place.

"Lotsa love?" Dude, what the hell kind of gas company says that? And if the gas company had wanted to get you to pay the money, they would have cut off your gas I don't know, three weeks ago? I call fake letter.

The OP rephrased it to make it sound more cynical.

Except for the fact The bill could be from the previous place he lived. They found his adress and sent him the bill.

If it's British Gas then don't pay. They were thretening to cut us off for months over the last tenents bill. It turns out that, as well as being too useless to know who owes them money, they are also too useless to actually send someone to cut you off. If they do turn up, just tell them that you have no idea who the people they are asking about are and have just moved in. That should get rid of them (but they'll probably have forgotten by the time they get back to their office and continue billing you).
