Good thanks, but I had a slip up on the keyboard and accidentally billed some fella 2.7 million for his water bill
I bet your heart rate was about the same for a few seconds, quite the fuck up indeed
Hey, stop moaning. At least it was cheaper than the estimate. Now pay up.
Disclaimer: I ignored the disclaimer.
Week is going ok, by the way. That’s a lot to do with not owing 2mill to anyone.
This is classic Thames Water. What’s worse is they’ll probably fight it and say it’s accurate
I think a £2000 bill would be scarier. At least with £2m you know it’s a mistake!
Remember that post this morning about the guy who’d made a big fuck up at work and was hoping his boss didnt see it on Reddit………
You owe somebody £200, that’s your problem.
You owe them £2,000,000, it’s their problem.
Couple tips for you. Only fill the kettle up to the exact amount you need for each cup of tea etc. use paper plates so there’s no washing up. Use dry shampoo and only wash your hair twice annually. This got my bill down by almost a million quid so it all adds up
So you were basically watering the Thames last year?
I would ignore that just to see what happens next
It’s closer to 3m.
As it’s Valentines Day, I thought I’ll surprise the wife and give her a hug from behind. So I did, and I even planted a peck on the cheek for the good lady.
Then I looked up and my wife walked in ….
The simulation disclaimer worries me – what do they know that we don’t??
What did you do? Fill a Sports Direct mug to the brim?
Got to pay for all the sewage fines they get somehow
Peckham Spring comes to mind.
At least you don’t owe it to the Post Office
Honestly surprised they fixed it.
I have one family member still disputing a 100k water bill for….17 ish years now.
Always in courts, solicitor costs, lives ruined.

Be honest. You filled the whole sports direct mug, didn’t you?

At least they didn’t concrete over your doorstep
Check your taps. I reckon one of the washers is loose and it’s been dripping a bit. Probably worth fixing it….
Ah, so you’re the reason they’re so in debt.
The joys of decimal point fails.
You got an amusing anecdote out of it at least.
I had this issue when my meter clocked and went to zero. They reckoned I owed 78k.
My hard drive died on my PC so I’ve had to shell out £100 for a new drivd and I was assaulted tonight while going to for a walk to take my mind off the problem, so not too bad thanks
Water privatisation is nuts
Thats why you should turn the tap off whilst brushing your teeth.
I did the calculations because I’m a geek: that equates to about 900 million litres of water used, which is about a week’s worth of water for a city the size of Southampton.
Same happened to me with these jokers. They were responsible for the meter readings in the building I was in, but our meter was obstructed so the technician just made it up (they get a warning message pop up asking if they are sure of the reading and the guy accepted). They would not budge when I contested it, but the building manager managed to take a picture of the actual reading and supplied it to us. After it was accepted we complained and nothing came of it. But they were perfectly happy to pester me for the balance after a couple of months of fighting.
Shit company. Great idea to privatise water.
Offer them a payment plan of £10 per week
Must’ve been individually washing all those avocados – cut that habit out and you could buy a house.
I’m glad it’s not just severn trent who are shit then. I’ve honestly never heard of a service provider being as bad as what I’ve had to deal with from them.
14 attempts at fitting a water meter before it was actually installed because they repeatedly brought the wrong parts out or didn’t know where it was supposed to be fitted. When they did finally install it they put it exactly where I told them not to on every occasion they’d visited, which was just upstream of a tee to 5 other houses. My first months bill was over £200 and I live on my own and had been on holiday for half of the month. It was pretty obvious that, as I’d said on every occasion it was reading all of my neighbours water as well as my own.. by the time they’d fixed it I owed just under £2000 according to their system, and that was after almost daily phone calls for close to 9 months and a constant stream of letters from them threatening action
Absolutely twats
You must’ve had a reaaally long shower
I used to work for EE and the system was constantly trying to charge customers £6.37bn for roaming. I had so many screenshots in teams. So. Many.
The company I pay my water usage to wanted to bill me for £70782 at one point. I only noticed in advance because I was looking at the website to see where I could save some money (oh the irony). Turns out they almost billed the entire buildings water usage to me.
£2,7 million is impressive though.
I told you to fix that dripping tap!!
Write back saying, “*I estimate I owe you fuck all!*”
I got a 40 page electricity bill the other day for a flat I don’t live in.
Coincidentally, I billed a customer about the same price for a new tyre the other day.
Got my gas meter replaced, engineer did us a solid and wrote off a weeks worth of gas.
