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.

Exactly. This isn't a "preachy" subject, to the handful of uptight tards getting defensive. It's paying bills and living responsibly. Internet access, which she almost definitely has, is expensive and unnecessary for someone that can't manage to pay multiple gas bills to the point it gets shut off. I'm willing to bet there are numerous other frivolous things OP spends money on because she wants them. There is absolutely no reason to pity or have mercy on someone that neglects their utilities to the point it racks up a $500 bill. Millions of people live on tight budgets. Do you cry rivers for them too when they buy expensive electronics and eat in restaurants yet dodge their landlords for rent money?

to everyone saying "but you can pay your internet bill!" not necessarily my friend didn't have internet for the longest time, she went to the library or a friends house if she wanted to go on the internet the OP could be on a friend's computer so chill out everyone, stop preaching

Yeah, I'm gonna go with YDI. I'm sure your internet is paid up, strangely enough. I'm sure all the things you like in life are paid up, and that you thought the utility company would let you skate for a year or something. Prioritize.

While it's true that we are in a recession, like many here have said- we know from this story that this person has a job. I know a lot of people who went with no internet or television, mattress, and less than 30 dollars of groceries for every two weeks to save up for the things they needed. I don't have a lot of sympathy here.
