Good excuses for high power bill......

[GET MO]

If yall aint to busy with the yummy saga maybe you could help me out wit my power issue. My landlord keeps the power in his name (kinda fucked up huh?), so I need some good excuses why my lil duplex is gon be runnin 250 a month for electricity. Thanks!

 

[steppinRazor]

how many watts you running? 2-3k? maybe 4
that bill is kinda high depending where you live, but it shouldn't raise too many eyebrows imo


and does he just come to you with the bill? mail it? whats goin on there? i'd be too paranoid to have a run at a place like that

computer servers. 1000 watt power supplies plus chiller for cooling them. that also explains the ac running in winter.

or tell him you are into plug in the wall sex toys like the anal intruder 5000. Then ask him over

Tell him Salt water aquarium. You want to raise Clownfish, like the one in finding Nemo.

They use the same lights for coral reefs in aquariums

Tell him you are growing weed...and if he doesn't keep his fucking mouth shut....you will kill him--
Or you can make up a lie--

Do you have a portable heater? The little heaters that turn from left to right? If you look on the box it says it runs 1,000 watts, tell him that you don't want to use central heating in the place (or even better if you don't have it) and that you run that little heater for 8 hours a day. If he wants proof, you can always show it to him but it costs a little over $100.00.

Hey, it's an option.....

Good Ideas yall... especially kmk420kali. I figured if he found out n tried to kick me out about it id just threaten him with the fact that hes renting illegally to us in the first place, and Id fuck um up. still dont want it to come to that, would rather make up a lie and only use that as a fall back...

 

[GET MO]

the heater idea sounds good too, maybe I just go get three of um. keep um comin..

 

[kmk420kali]

Well fuck... if you are going to go the boring "Lie" thing...then just tell him you are doing some Ornamental Iron Welding-- Get a couple of those Muffler people looking things, and say you are making them...nobody wants to talk to the ppl that are making those ugly ass things!!

Tell him you got a room full of tanning beds.

I like the computer and the heater ideas, both of which you could pick up cheap at a thrift store, or if you have one near by, a flea market for dirt cheap. Just think of a couple different things that take huge bites into the electric bill that are small enough to have laying around the living room that you can be like "I guess all these little things add up", and pay the man his money. Just have your set up ready to go so your bill looks high from day one, not just a sudden jump in the bill a month or two into your stay.

extensive toy train set.

woodworking tools

If you have electric stove and oven, bake him some really really bad bread and tell him your friends all love it and you will be glad to bake him some more. Tell him you spend at least 8 hours a day in your spare time baking this wonderful bread.

Make sure bread is soggy and weighs at least 5 lbs a loaf and be sure to put a shit load of salt about 1/2 cup in there along with a 5 tablespoons of Alum.

Get an electric portable dryer as a cover up if you don't have a private dryer.

 

[JACKtheREFFER]

Pottery kiln is always a option or a small welder

 

[Snype]

Tell him you make a lot of toast and fill your kitchen with 100 toasters.

 

[JamieShoes]

Hot Tub is a good one as is a Kiln

 

[iSmokeTrees]

id just threaten him with the fact that hes renting illegally to us in the first place, and Id fuck um up.

Comments like this suggest you should get out of the game. He would get a fine and you would go to jail, sounds like a real smart plan. Good luck with that Tony Montana.

Unplug the fridge, AC.

Buy power strips and plug in the TV, Dish or cable box, DVD or Blueray player, and the home entertainment stuff.

Do the same for your computer, monitor, speakers, any modem or router.

At night you'll only have 1 switch to turn off killing the constant drain of electricity.

Unplay the toaster, coffee maker, microwave at night. Anything with a stand by or clock. Power strip them here too.

Jacuzzi , better if its a free broken one from craigslist. Tell him you do alot of woodworking or welding.

sigh, children.... yes, tell em youll kick his ass. real bright.
