11. Very Sensitive to Wifi...

... It raises my blood pressure so I turn it off most of the time (yes, there are peer-reviewed studies on wifi sensitivity). Then I heard that smart meters could be even more dangerous, so I pay over $13 a month to opt out ($40 the first payment). Our utility (now based in Spain!) for upstate New York has raised prices a whole lot. I find if I send in the meter readings myself, I don't have to deal with the every-other-month ridiculously high estimate that you have to pay no matter what. And my bills have actually dropped to not much more than they were originally (no more than $130 monthly) in my rural loft house near Ithaca, NY.

We opted out on general principles, but they charged a premium for sending a human to read the meter Hekate Sep 26 #12
