Check out the full story.

“No, I don’t use water when I shower”

I worked in collections for a water company. I had a man transferred to me to discuss his debt.

Me: good afternoon welcome to (collection company), how can I help you today?

Watch how things escalate…

Man: I have been overcharged on my water bill!

Me: oh I’m so sorry about that! Let me look into that for you, give me a moment!…..I’ve reviewed your account and I can see there isn’t any over charging, your bill has been consistently the same at the time of the year for over 5 years – is there a reason you feel you’ve been over charged?

Man: it’s a system estimate, they never checked my water meter!

Me: that’s okay, you may not have seen a meter reading as quite often it’s done during the day while people are at work.

Man: No! They haven’t come and read the meter! I have covered my meter with bricks and no one contacted me about it!

He’s INSANE!

Me: oh, is there a particular reason you’ve left it covered in bricks?

Man: because I haven’t seen them read my meter! I’ve seen the man come to read my gas meter but not my water! I placed them there so they would have to call me to read it! I have watched from my window to see them check but no one came!

Me: please be aware, sir, you shouldn’t block the meter as it’s technically the property of (water company) but let me see if I can find any information about the reading itself, give me a moment. …….sir, your water meter is currently a digital meter, the meter reading itself goes directly to (water company) automatically, they don’t need to physically read the meter.

Man: that’s not true! They have estimated the reading wrong anyway! I haven’t used any water!

UH OH!

Me: a portion of the bill will be for the supply itself but I can see the usage is $$$. Have you not been living at the property.

Man: of course I have. I just haven’t used water!

Me: oh okay, do you not shower at home?

Man: that’s disgusting of course I do.

Me: do you flush your toilet or wash your hands?

That’s GROSS!

Man: yes.

Me: so you’ve used water and this counts towards the usage itself.

Man: no I haven’t used water and no one read my meter!

Me: (repeated as above, digital meter, water usage etc)

Man: you don’t know how to do your job, that’s bull crap.

That sounds bad!

Me: please hold then, I will transfer you to customer support, I’ll have someone from (water company) to explain further.

Man: damn str-

Me: places man on hold and transferred

I wonder if this man uses water to wash his tin foil hat as well?…

GEEZ! That’s so weird!
