Today, I had a really bad day at work and the only thing that was getting me through the day was the idea of taking a nice, hot, relaxing bath. When I got to my front door there was a shut off notice from the gas company. I won't be taking any hot baths until I come up with the $500 bill. FML

The gas bill includes another security deposit of 150$ and a turn on fee of 50$. So, it was 300$ that I was past due on and I was doing the budget plan which was about 150$ a month. Only 2 months behind. As for the roommate, it's not her fault she lost her job due to down sizing and she is has been getting money from her parents... we've just used it for food. It's not a matter of whether or not I "deserve" to have my gas shut off. I do. I didn't pay the bill. I agree with that. The FML part of it is that my day was crap and then it got even crappier. Stop preaching and just read the stupid FML so you can say "Hey, at least I'm not that poor bastard." Get over yourselves.

everyone who hit YDI is probably a student and has never tried living alone during a RECESSION. come on people - this is real life, if you haven't heard of the exponential growth of normal people not being able to make ends meet - you'll find out soon enough.

um, pay your bill? I believe this was pretty much your fault, not an fml that just happened to you.

#26 I agree, I was gonna make an asshole comment like most people seemed to be doing but honestly this is a recession and a lot of people are short on cash right now. It might not be poor money management it could be jus simply not enough cash to pay all the bills. That sucks. And #34, "why would you use so much gas" lol wow....you could stand to learn a thing or two. I doubt the OP just left her oven on all month, that's just a few gas bills and some late fees added together, genius.

@ 26 a gas bill isn't that expensive unless you haven't paid it in awhile. and like people have stated, she can pay for the internet. and there's probably a lot of "luxuries" she doesn't forget to pay. Why don't you uh pay your bill there.

Try to explain your desperate need for a nice hot relaxing bath to the gas company. They are not all that heartless, y'know. They will understand and sympathize with your predicament.
