my neighbors stink in a quasi-illegal arrangement we split the water bill 50-50 per our leases. They, being a store, get the legal bill.
Yesterday we discovered they haven't paid it in nine months.→[More:] For almost the first year we lived there they would always forget to give us the bill and pay the whole thing. When they remembered it would almost always have late fees tacked on from the last time they paid it. Well, we mentioned it to them a couple times, were told "oh, we'll give you the next one" and nothing more. Until we got a shutoff notice.

This was the money for my new windshield I need if I want my car to pass inspection... which is up next month. I am not thrilled. $40 every quarter is one thing, but several hundred on six days notice is another completely.
