So, usually when you sign up for a utility's automatic payment plan, you'd expect the bill to get paid automatically, right?

Well, apparently the gas company is retarded. They estimate your gas usage, and bill you according to the estimate. But they came out for a meter reading and found they hadn't charged enough, so they charged an additional amount to cover the difference. Except that since the additional charge appeared between bills, it didn't count in the auto payment plan. I caught it before they dinged a late fee, but what a dumbass system. If there's an additional charge, shouldn't it show up on my next bill?

Idiots.
