What is pissing you off this time?

Apparently propane is so popular that vendors are turning away paying customers. At least they won't open a COD account with me and they won't give me credit because of, you know, bad credit.

The tank I have is supplied by the company I used to have an account with until it was transferred to my ex's name during my hejira. The company wanted a $300 deposit that they keep for the life of the account (no interest) plus $180 to fill the tank and another $40/year for tank rental.

I told them to go pound salt, and I'm off to go buy a 100# tank and regulator, which kind of sucks because I had two of them several years ago and gave them away.

So they came and locked out the tank yesterday and I'm like, seriously? I've never even seen a lockout like that and I can see all I need is a small piece of pipe or a dowel to remove it.

I don't really feel like making the drive tonight to Lowe's, but tomorrow is busy. If it wasn't such a time suck I'd transfer the gas to the new tank.

They locked out gas you've paid for?
