So they came whining to dad asking if they could plug in an extension cord for just the refrigerator and a couple of essential lights just just a "few days" until they could pay the power company. So dad said OK. He got up in the middle of the night to pee, and saw them running an air conditioner, and the extension cord was hot. He unplugged it, and told them no more.

Instead of paying the power company for the overdue bill, and the cost of hooking up the wires at the pole, and the meter they went and bought a Honda generator, and several 5 gallon containers for gas. That Honda generator ran non stop for two months before the landlord evicted them after he saw they were raising ducks in the back yard and the city came and removed the ducks and sent the landlord a bill. The generator and all the gas had to cost many times the cost of the electric bill. Just complete morons and dad was very happy to see them leave.
Really, you have THOSE PEOPLE outside of CA too? (OK, in green)
