It's official, from now on, I'll deal with the council estate in a "baka yoke" spirit as if they were the village idiots .
Last year, there was a mistake with my water meter (no one came to read it, but they sent data to the council estate nonetheless).
I contacted the landlady, but she told me I'd have to pay (about half my wages!) and I'd get my money back later. In fact, what I paid them, when I didn't owe them that money, was used to pay the rent the following months - not the same as "getting my money back".
A plumber came to change my meter so it could be read remotely.
The kid didn't manage to do it.
I was the one who told the caretaker that the job wasn't done.
No news since.
Comes January and I invite my caretaker to take a picture of my meter so she sends it to the landlady (and she just confirmed me that she did).
Comes today, and they want me to pay for 140 m3 when I only used 30 m3! "Incidentally", that's about three quarters of my wages that they want this time.
The plonkerish landlady has two months to have the mistake corrected. I swear to Zeus I'm going to rip her a new one if she doesn't do her job - again.
If I have to do her job by telling her what to do (apparently, I should have checked in January that she'd do what she was supposed to do with the photo of my meter), I'm going to start sending her invoices.
Bloody idiot.
