“I just thought the cost of living was THAT high.”
So, no fear!
BuzzFeed got in contact with Brooke to get the deets on this unfortunate story.
“After having no luck, we contacted our landlord, which only added to the confusion.
No electrical work was happening either.
We checked with the neighbors; oddly enough, their power was working just fine.”
“Plot twist: our power was shut off due to non-payment.
This made no sense because wevealwaysbeen diligent about making our payments,” she said.
Thats when it hit us: my ex-boyfriend.
My roommate asks, ‘Is the account under [ex’s name]?’
The rep says, ‘Yep.’
It just might take some time since the backlog is over two years.
But, maybe this is why Brooke didn’t realize it for so long!
I practically had to beg for them to cancel his service.
So, nope, I haven’t broken the news to him about the utility scandal.
[Exs name], if youre reading this, surprise!
Also, for the love of god, c’mon change your mailing address.
Its been two years and Im still getting all of your mail."
Her three final pieces of advice are: “Talk to your neighbors.
Always have EVERYONE in your household on the bills.
And never move in with a man!”
