Question: Has anybody ever donated to EOG?\u00a0 On the monthly EOG bill, there is a space for voluntary contributions. Who gives to EOG?\u00a0 EOG has an ego problem.<\/p>\n
I give to EOG.\u00a0 And it hurts.\u00a0 I don’t give charity; I give dollars for heat.\u00a0 Not-news\u00a0 department . . . Cleveland has long cold winters.<\/p>\n
Emily, a former tenant,<\/strong><\/span> asked if I would pay her $66.24 EOG bill, because she had moved and the gas company was still billing her for stove gas.<\/p>\n I wasn’t going to pay Emily’s bill.\u00a0 I pay the apartment gas bill but typically not the tenants’ individual stove bills. I volunteered to call EOG for Emily.<\/p>\n EOG wouldn’t talk to me because I wasn’t Emily. \u00a0Fine.\u00a0 I don’t enjoy talking to EOG.\u00a0 \u00a0This dispute was between EOG and Emily, EOG said.<\/p>\n I told Emily<\/strong><\/span> I would call Elizabeth.<\/p>\n Elizabeth — the new tenant — said to me, “I’m in this apartment only three days a week. I use the toaster-oven and microwave.\u00a0 I don’t even use the stove!\u00a0 It’s off.”<\/p>\n Impossible, Emily told me.\u00a0 And she added, “Somebody incurred a sixty-six dollar bill. It wasn’t me!”<\/p>\n But you can incur<\/strong><\/span> a $66.24 gas bill just by glancing at your stove, Emily.\u00a0 There is something called a “basic monthly charge.”\u00a0 Right now that charge is $19.63.<\/p>\n Emily wrote me several letters, the last one ending: “See you soon in court.”<\/p>\n I smelled an odor of gas.<\/p>\n I received a 25-page small-claims lawsuit.\u00a0 Emily wanted her gas money back, plus double her security deposit, for a total of $1,150.71.<\/p>\n The magistrate,<\/strong><\/span> plus Emily, Emily’s dad and I, met in a hearing room at city hall.\u00a0 The dad was OK; he parked next to me and didn’t “key” my car.<\/p>\n I had a letter from EOG, explaining who had service when and in who’s name. \u00a0I won because of that letter.\u00a0 An EOG secretary\u00a0 had done me a favor.\u00a0 Her letter was not from the pre-approved letters’ templates, she explained.<\/p>\n Thank you, EOG. \u00a0I \u00a0pledge $___. \u00a0 <\/p>\n How much should I give?\u00a0 Double chai<\/em>?<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n [Goys<\/em> only:\u00a0Chai<\/em> (life) equals 18.\u00a0 Double chai<\/em> is 36.]<\/p>\n — Please see the post below too.\u00a0 It’s fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To report an odor of gas, please call the East Ohio Gas Company (EOG).

Or maybe the dispute was between Emily and my new tenant, Elizabeth, who was possibly using Emily’s stove gas.<\/p>\n![\"eog-4\"](\"http:\/\/www.yiddishecup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/eog-4-300x138.jpg\" "\\"eog-4\\"")
