I just saw on the news a story of how yesterdays storms were effecting power in homes, and there was an entire interview with some woman saying how it wasn't acceptable from the electric companies. What are they suppose to do? the weather blew apart wires and destroyed many electric support systems. There are men working very hard on this and have been for over 24 hours, including through the storm. Why is it there fault? What do people expect them to do? People lost their lives in that storm and while others were out there risking theirs to fix unavoidable happening, this woman and many others were sat around complaning because they couldn't make themselves a cup of tea

Ok, just one point, I'm only 17, so I've yet to come into the whole elctric bills and understanding of how ripped off we get by these companies, fair playing to you all, but that's not my point, why are they being blamed for the electric being out after a storm blows the cables over? You've all made your point, you're bing robbed, but I'm concerned for the people, not the buisness

There are probably a zillion reasong that it has to be somebody's fault that they are uncomfortable. Bitchers don't like being out of their comfort zones for even a little bit.
As far as I'm concerned the workers at the electric companies have always done a good job, its just that sometimes there isn't enough of them to take care of the repairs quickly. The companies themselves have also been great about not hesitating to put all their resources to work to make the rest of us comfortable during storms.

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity"
No one needs to die, so I can have a cup of tea, I may feel different if living alone, elderly, frail and getting colder all the time. No one can reach me, the roads are blocked, the phones not working and it's so dark.
Those who complain are too ignorant to realise it is, in fact, all the fault of the telecoms companies! :-)

I don't know about that, but they should be blamed. those highway robbers. where do they get off thinking they can charge us anything they want and tax us into the ground and turn our lights off and pretty much blackmail us into going with their companies? who owns them anyway? why cant i own a light company? actually, i think this is really all rosies fault. ever since she showed her face on tv there has been nothing but trouble.

They screw us over with high prices and pants service, so its only fair that they take the blame for everything we can throw at them
