Couldnt obvious bullshit like this force a retraction of the article/video with an apology? You cant just bullshit THAT blatantly. Theres no plausable deniability with this one.
Makes sense, nothing has ever been mentioned on this forum, the secret forum, or the double secret forum (whaaaaat?) about having us try to turn off his heat. That would result in zero payoff and it’s not funny if he’s cold, he already lives in Wisconsin, it’s cold enough!

Now improperly installed fence? That’s our game.

So the house has confirmed terrible wiring, and rats! Some funster made a bunch of rat accounts recently. Did mice chew through the shitty wires, fuck his shit up, his power dies, and now he's histrionically retconning everything?

It's illegal to shut off utilities in the winter in Wisconsin. It's not exactly an obscure law either
I can’t believe how simple google searches poked many holes in pats story yet NBC news couldn’t be bothered to verify anything. If someone tricked a heating company into shutting of a customers heat without their knowledge / consent you would think someone would verify. Nope!

For non payment, they will be saying someone impersonated the owner. Best bet is to call the company
It's illegal to shut off utilities even if you don't pay. You have to pay all the back bills in April, but until then they can't shut it off. My family has a place up there and I used to spend a lot of time in Wisconsin. It's really common for people to just not pay all winter and then scramble to set up a payment plan in April. The utility companies can get sued for shutting off your heat. If someone did impersonate piggy and say the "place is empty please shut off the gas" they still would have had to knock on the door and make sure. Especially since it's a duplex they would have had to shut off gas for both addresses. He's lying.

If Pat was some asshole landlord trying to drive his tenants out by fucking with the heat, those tenants could sue the utility company if they shut off their gas. So I really have a hard time believing they would just go ahead and do it based on a phone call alone. Anything's possible, but pats a compulsive liar so that seems more likely.

I was thinking that you can't just call up a gas company go *snicker* hey this is Patrick Tomlinson, can you turn off the heat at my house? Yeah please don't call the numbers you have listed for Patrick or Niki to confirm this, take my word and just shut the heat off immediately.

This is just like "The stlakers called a truck to try and take Susan!" lie. People should reach out to the gas company and say how reckless and dangerous it is to turn off someone's heat based on prank phone calls.

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.

Apparently, the leccy company can't cut you off in the UK if you have children. I knew this bloke who was blagging left right and center. He said that because he had children he'd just never pay the bills. Children need heat and food.

Another one of his hustles was signing on the dole while working as a taxi driver. They make you sign on at odd times, but if you're black cabbing it then that's no bother. He must've been taking the piss because they sent someone out to photograph him clearly working. He just said "Nah, mate. That's not me. Doesn't even look like me!"

Ha, I looked this up too but this article says 45 degrees give or take a few degrees and you can see your breath (depending on the humidity).


I believe they saw their breath and the heat was off but only because they either didn't pay their bill or their hovel's ancient system fucked up. But yeah, the cats would have been fine.
We Energies doesn’t shut off service between October and March.
