So, when we moved in, we were under the impression that all the bills would automatically come to us under our landlord's name and we would just go pay it, which is what happened with most of them. Well, we hadn't really thought about it, but we hadn't paid a gas bill since we moved in about 4 months ago. We found that out today when we came home to see that red thing on our gas line out in the hall (see picture below), which means that they came and cut off our gas. Turns out we were supposed to go and register with the company so they could start billing to our address. Somehow we either weren't told that or didn't understand that (probably the latter), so tonight we are without gas, which means no heat, no stove, and no hot water. Fortunately, it's been in the 60's here this week, so we don't need the heat. Cold showers here are REALLY cold, though. Anyway, Dan's supposed to go tomorrow morning with the landlord to get it all straightened out, so hopefully this time tomorrow, we'll be enjoying warm showers.

Oh, how cruel!! You would think they would've at least given you a warning!! I would think that surely there is mercy for someone who doesn't speak the language, but obviously not! So sorry!!
Oh no! That's horrible.Thank goodness it didn't happen during the brutal snow you guys got.
I feel for you. Do you have a house full of company also with the heat off? Hopefully it will be sorted out tomorrow and hopefully your bill isn't too outrageous.
