My understanding…

You’ve misunderstood.

Never really looked and just realized how cluttered that apartment is.

I’m an atheist and even I think the dude’s a twat who enjoys the smell of his own farts.

It’s ridiculous how obsolete US utility companies are, especially water companies that often require you to show up to their office in person to activate service or set up automatic payments (You want a voided paper check? I don’t even have checks for my account. What’s wrong with a debit card?).

And they go crazy with their estimated bills. I worked an IT job where I’d fly to some city in the US for a week of work, fly home on Friday, do laundry and submit expense reports, and do it all again the next week. Was pretty much never home. Got a water bill for $300+, and they wanted to try and argue with me that the bill was correct. They suggested maybe I had a leak somewhere, as if a leak that resulted in a $300+ bill wouldn’t have been causing some blatantly obvious issues that I would have seen.
