Texas Man Reads $700 Electric Bill Like It's A Faulkner Novel
June 17, 2025
When life gives you a sky-high electric bill, turn it into literary gold.
Jerry Longmire, a Texas man with a flair for the dramatic, went viral on TikTok for reading his $700 electric bill like it was penned by William Faulkner himself. In a video that has viewers both laughing and nodding in sweaty solidarity, Longmire delivers poetic lines like, "Each degree a soft lie, told in Freon,” and “Box fan in the window, sheets damp with his own resolve.”
It's a painfully funny reminder of summer in the South—and how sometimes, all you can do is laugh (and maybe turn the thermostat up a bit).
