**BREAKING: CA Man’s Epic Blunder Leaves Neighbor’s Electricity Bill Paid, But His Own Wallet Drained**
In a bizarre incident that has left residents of Sunnyvale, California in stitches, 32-year-old Dave Wilson claims he accidentally paid his neighbor’s power bill for a whopping 5 YEARS.
According to Wilson, the mix-up occurred when he set up automatic payments for his own electricity bill online. However, in a stunning display of carelessness, he allegedly clicked on the WRONG account, dooming his neighbor, 75-year-old Agnes Jenkins, to a life of free electricity.
“I just assumed it was my account,” Wilson said in an interview, shaking his head. “I mean, who doesn’t love a good surprise, right? I’m just glad I could help Agnes out… even if it was unintentional.”
As news of the mistake spread, neighbors began to flock to the Wilson residence, all clamoring to know if they too could benefit from the generous error. “I asked Dave if I could chip in on his good deed,” said next-door neighbor, Karen Thompson. “I mean, who wouldn’t want to save a few bucks on their electricity bill?”
Meanwhile, Agnes Jenkins remained oblivious to the windfall, blissfully unaware that her power company had been secretly footing the bill for her neighbor’s generosity. “I just thought PG&E was feeling generous,” Jenkins said with a chuckle. “I’m just glad I don’t have to worry about my electricity getting shut off anytime soon!”
The power company, PG&E, has since confirmed that Wilson’s mistake had indeed covered Jenkins’ electricity costs for 60 months, totaling a staggering $2,500.
When asked if he planned on recouping the lost funds, Wilson simply shrugged. “Hey, I figure it’s karma. I’ve been meaning to help out my neighbor for years, and now I have an excuse. Agnes is a great gal, and I’m just happy to have been able to contribute to her… um, ‘electric’ lifestyle.”
As for Jenkins, she’s just enjoying the ride. “I guess you could say I’ve been getting a free pass on my electricity bill,” she quipped. “Who needs a solar panel when you’ve got a neighbor like Dave?”
The incident has left residents of Sunnyvale in stitches, with many calling for Wilson to be awarded the “Golden Mistake” award. Only time will tell if Wilson’s good deed will inspire others to follow in his footsteps – or if he’ll be footing the bill for his neighbor’s electricity for years to come.
