"You are giving up already?"

I guarantee you that person has spent more time and effort avoiding paying small bills that could have been easily paid off putting the same time and effort into a minimum wage job.

I just love that they believe this is a success.

300 is a lot, this has to have been going on for awhile. Newport news water works is usually pretty understanding about late fees. This could have been going on for months before they suggested cutting his water off.

Current charges: $73.71

Looks like this has been going on for about 4 months.

I'm not from remotely near there, but I pay 12 euros a month for water... That would be over 2 years for me..

10e here. but it evens out because everything else is stupidly expensive! i can only barely afford food the second half of the month (:

I mean, yes and no. One of my houses using the bare minimum water to keep the fallow land covering green was about $2k/mo. Average in the winter closer to $100/mo for barely being there. Some places are just stupidly expensive for no reason.

I have since sold that massive stupid house and went elsewhere. And I do not miss it any day of the week.

TIL 7-11 can issue a money order.

In Japan, you can pay your bills at 7-11. Not all of your bills, but most of them.

Here in Sweden I can pay my bills on my phone while at a 7-11, or anywhere else

Here in the Netherlands we don't have a 7-11 (as far as I'm aware), so anywhere else it is.

But can you buy delicious curry and pay your bills at the same time?

That last image is just pure insanity. People thinking like that are not able to care for themselves and should be placed in a care home, sorry. I see no difference between people like this and drug abusers that have gotten to the point where they can't keep themselves alive anymore, they need professional help.

That comment almost, but not quite, gets it.
