The Grinch Electric Company

The financial problems of businesses everywhere appears to be stemming from skyrocketing delinquent accounts, hence they’re no longer tolerating any form of late payment due on any amount. Gone are the days of “Payment due fifteen days upon receipt of bill” that once adorned those pretty bills they used to send, adorned with cute stickers and sayings, you owe it, you pay it, or else.

Politicians have gained a lucrative income from touring the news panel circuit, telling everyone, billing departments no longer have a heart and by Head Who, we are going to investigate and stop the accounts receivable departments from being the anal-retentive heartless ding-dongs they have become. (A new saying is making the rounds too, “Hit like the Grinch hit Whoville”)

Why are we going to do that, you ask, well because we are politician’s thank you very much, making threats we forget about upon leaving the podium is what we do. Hey, Mr. News host, do you think I can I have my check for appearing now, quickly too, I have to seventeen more talk shows to do this morning, After all, I have to pay for that new wing on my house.

The city of Flint, Michigan’s electric company really do not like their customers very much at all, they have appeared to have taken the stand of the “Grinch who stole everything and they will not tolerate their customers ignoring them.

No, they really have neither compassion nor understanding and like the Grinch, when it comes to people, why their heart is so small that physician’s were unable to locate it in their last Grinch checkup.

Whoville reporters, lost deeply in their daily Christmas song, “Fah who for-aze! Fah who for-aze” when the news of the electric companies microbe size heart reached them rushed to the cave of the head Grinch to obtain his comments, he simply shed one tear and refitted the deer antlers on his dog. Happiness is a sad Grinch.

They have finally proved to their customers and to the entire world their Grinch status, they proved it once and for all, when they turned off the power of a Michigan women. I mean how much can a Grinch stand, the woman owed them ONE CENT and they are not waiting any longer.

Yahoo News reported this article this morning, “It was just a penny, but to Consumers Energy it was enough to cut off power in a local home. Jacqueline Williams, 41, of Flint had an electricity bill of $1,662.08 and paid all of it, except for one cent.” That one cent was simply too much for a Grinch heart, I hope it grows just little larger, customers would be happier if it did.
