Maybe if she’d spent a little more time in school learning how to write and converse (not conversate) she’d have been equipped enough to deal with that problem. The problem is that she very very likely has EVERY one of her other basic needs covered by entitlements and she didn’t give one crap about her ‘bill’ (what’s that?) until she lost her water. It’s all about MENTALITY - not an actual problem that could have been resolved years ago had she actually cared.
What did she care? She has her tattoos, he hair did and her nails, didn’t she?
Her manicurist should be fired. I could buy nail polish that looks like that for .50¢, and have enough to do both hands, not just the one nail.
I don’t doubt that what you say is true.
I guess I expect too much from the world. I don’t expect too much from this woman, but I’d like to think that the professionals who work at the Water department would be able to figure out that something must be wrong if one household has a bill this astronomical. But no, they are happy to ask the woman to pay thousands of dollars that she legitimately does not, or should not, owe.
You know, I’m pretty smart and I make a decent wage, and I find some of the people you encounter in these places impossible to deal with. And I often wonder about those who do not have the intellectual, or language, skills that I have.
What happens to those people? I wonder.
Well, this article shows one example of what can happen.
This woman might be stupid, lazy, self-indulgent and have a million other failings. That doesn’t mean it’s OK to rip her off.
