7/24/21 angry at the electric bill

 

7/24/21

Earlier today i came across a certain situation which triggered an anger reaction within me.

What happened is that, since yesterday or a few days ago i had already planned what i would be doing with my paycheck. I wanted to get a gym membership, buy some protein powder to gain more muscle, and buy some clothes,...not to mention also all the basic nesecities that i have to pay for such as food.

So everything seemed to be about to go according to planned. I had just gotten home from buying all my groceries and i had already tooken care of all my most basic needs. So now i was exited to go and get my gym membership and protein powder and buy some new clothes. Then i looked at my mail box and i saw my light bill envelope. I opened it and to my surprise it said i owed over 100 dollars and that i had to pay at the latest in 3 days from now or my electricity would be cut off. I was not expecting that because it should have been at the most 40 dollars (plus the 40 dollars i already owe from the previous month) plus i was expecting my deadline to be in a few weeks. I became angry and started punching things and yelling "FUCK!!!FUCK YOUU!!!" and shit like that.

I was pissed off because i did not have any extra money and so if i decided to pay the bill i would not be able to do any of the extra things i wanted as get gym membership, protein powder, and clothes. I was thinking about it for some minutes. I wanted that gym membership bad, as well as the other things. For a second i decided to go through with my personal plans anyways, but then i decided that i really had no choice but to pay the bill, or simply that it was the most self honest choice.

Within these moments within this scenario i became depressed, sad.

Then i realized that bill wasnt mine, it had a different account number and another persons name. I pulled out an old light bill copy with my account number on it and i called the city light company to see how much i owed, and sure enough i only owed 80 dollars and it was due like 3 weeks from now. So yes i was a bit relieved.
