Sometimes some things piss you off more than others. Case in point I open an AT&T bill with my name on it expecting to see an old one I had already paid off. Instead I see one for 700 dollars, let me repeat that so you can see how big it is 700 dollars. How the fuck did my phone bill get to be 700 dollars, I barely use it. If anything I make one minute calls to friends to meet up with them and the sort. So I begin looking through the call log and see, oh hey, I don’t know any of these numbers and they’re all to CO numbers.

Now I’m thinking about what happened before I left Denver. When I left, Sara agreed to do two things in order for me to pay rent in a place I don’t live in. She had to switch over the cable account to her name or the whole apartment since it was in mine. And she had to get the phone that I just got for her, under my name, switched over to hers. Bad-credit fee be damned it’s what she said she’d do. About a week before I left she said she had already done it, I being the nice person, took her word for it. Mistake #1.

Then literally the day before I left I remembered I had to get the change of name form from the cable company, so Ian and I drove over to the place, picked it up, signed it and delivered it to the apartment thinking they’d do it asap and things would be kosher. Mistake #2.

Mistake #2 came back to bite me in the ass earlier this week when I received a nice call from the cable company asking me to make a payment of at least a hundred dollars or the cable would be shut off on the 2nd. At first I thought it was the cable here since we have just a cable modem hookup. Then I heard the number to call her back at, 303 area code, which is the area code for Denver. Then I realize that Sara had lied. No she hadn’t actually filled out the name-change form, nor had anyone actually paid the fucking bills.

Knowing this I contact her about it and try to be civil about it, even though I’m pretty mad she lied about it she gets right back in touch and said the bills paid and the name-change is done. Maybe this time she’s telling the truth, I guess I’ll find out in a month or so if I get another call.

Mistake #1 got me this afternoon. I was cleaning off my desk of bills and the sort because it was messy. Now I’ll say I don’t always open bills when I get them. I’m too used to just checking online what I owe and paying that way. However I decided I should at least open them up, see what they were, shred ’em, and throw them away. Well the 700 dollar fee about knocked me out. I thought she had somehow gotten AT&T to combine her and my phones into one and that’s why it was so much. But no, it’s her phone alone.

It’s interesting to see the call list, and type. I don’t know how someone can rack up charges of about 200 dollars a month, but I guess she can. Maybe I shouldn’t be saying all this here, but fuck if I care, it’s technically my phone so I think I’ll do whatever I want. It’s just fucking infuriating because this she swore she did weeks before I left, again I believed her because I’m nice.

The last annoying thing is that she said she didn’t want to be with me because she couldn’t trust me going out with my friends and that she thought I was fooling around. After this debacle it makes me think that really she’s the one I shouldn’t have trusted, ever. But again, I’m a bit nice and give people the benefit of the doubt, until they do wrong by me. I just haven’t been this wronged in ages.
