   • I feel your pain dude.
     I lived with 5 other lads and sorting out bills was a fucking nightmare.
     Once I went for bill money knowing he had just been paid, he then told me he was skint and that MY Dad would bail ME out and then he went out that night on the piss.
     Got it in the end though
     
     Also I'm STILL waiting for British gas to sort out the billing on my gas meter.
     Its a fucking joke Ive been in my house for 3-4 months now and its still not sorted. If I made them wait for the money that long I'd be in prison! (or on the end of an even heftier bill)
     
     AND BT only gave me half the amount I was expecting back for lack of service (long story...) and it turns out that was a VAT refund and the actual refund was showing on their computer as being canceled. The fucks.
     So they put that back on for me and told me they hadn't recieved the letter we wrote to them to get our mobile call costs back and that I should email them or send another letter.
     Theres no way in hell I'm emailing them as all you get is a "thanks for your email, we got it and are processing it" as thats the last I'll hear of it.
     
     I swear I could have put the fucking line in myself faster by creating a competitor company, employing staff, insalling it, then liquidising the company...
     
     Whoops, wall of text agian

   • I've managed to save money by not paying for a TV license for the last 8 years.
     There really is no reason to.
     I avoiding paying water bills when I can. They can't cut you off for not paying your water rates as water is classed as a basic human right.
     I'm also under the radar from a big previous council tax bill as I now go under false names when I move into a new house.
     I couldn't give a flying fuck what my credit rating is like or how many CCJs I have against me.

   • can sympathize with the trying to get money off housemates though.
     In my last hole I was responsible for setting up the internet / cable and it cost me £25 a month even though I was the only person without a job.
     None of the other 3 fuckwits ever offered me the money , I always had to chase it down ( one of them wasn't even paying rent or bills , she was just freeloading in her boyfriends room )
     Eventually I thought fuck it and let it get cut off , the housemates phoned me up to say cable was broken and they wanted to watch hollyoaks and facebook wasnt working. utter cunts.
     Fucking numb skulls still owe me about 70 quid but I'll settle for not having to live with or see them again.

   • I won't be happy until I live on my own very far away from other humans but I can't see a point in my life when I will be able to afford this.
