Starting to work in the Gas and Electric company, I wondered if I would feel sorry for the people that had their services shut off when it was cold outside, for the majority I can honestly say I do not. That sounds harsh you might think, and you all know, that I am a sucker for a sob story on MOST occasions, but the ones that do tug at my heart strings are the ones that are genuinely struggling like the elderly and the ones that are unemployed and 'trying' to get a job.
The ones that I have no absolute sympathy for are the ones ordering food at a drive thru, puffing on a cigarette, etc while they are telling you all the reasons they can't pay their utility bill. Ok, lay off the Colt 45, the manicures, the dance lessons for your brats, the happy hour every week, and whatever else it is you deem so important that you can't pay your gas bill, then want to call me and bitch about being cold. Nope, not an ounce of sympathy is coming your way. I say get extra blankets, dress in layers, and oh yea, if that isn't good enough I am sure you can find someone to dig you out of the mess you got yourself in, just to fall back into that same old pattern in a few months.
Wow, did I just say this? I used to be a "nice" collector, I know, an oxymoron right? Ahhh those were the days....
