My Stepfather is a Fucking Asshole!

Well he is!!!
Here's the story:
Both my parents have jobs. My mother has a part-time job at Wall-Mart and my sepfather has a full-time job at a company called Omniglass. My mother makes less than he does, but she's responsible for most of the bills. All my stepfather has to pay is 1 or 2 bills a month. That's it.
Well, earlier this week, we had quite a shock. The gas company (the company that supplies the gas to heat our water) phoned us up saying that if we don't pay the bill by today (May 30th), the gas will be turned off. Turns out he has not made any payments on the bill since last August. The bill now totaled a few thousand.
But all hope was not lost. They said that if we could pay just $600 they would not turn it off. We were saved! Or so we thought.....
My mother goes there with the money, and it turns out the lady on the phone made a small mistake. She actually meant $1200 instead of $600. There was no way we could pay that just now.
So, on June 2nd, our hot water will be turned off for at least a month while we scrape up the money to pay the bill.
As a consequence, I will only be having cold showers for the next month. This is particuarly distressing to me since I'm the type of guy that has a shower every damn day.
I'm really going to hate Monday
