Pennsylvania resident Mary Horomanski recently received an electric bill for $284,460,000,000 and her jaw dropped to the floor. Well, we don't blame her.
"I opened it up and there it was," she told Washington Post. She was forced to consider that Christmas lights might be responsible for this very rude shock.
That amount, as the Washington Post calculated, could net you all of Netflix, or perhaps 747 Boeing 747s.

¡°When you see something like that, your heart starts beating, you break out into a little sweat, like, ¡®What on Earth just happened?¡¯¡± she told the Washington Post
It turns out Horomanski didn¡¯t really owe her electric provider that insane amount and her real bill was $284.46.
First Energy, the provider¡¯s parent company, stated that a decimal point had been accidentally moved and corrected her bill to $284.46, according to the Associated Press.
Phew! That's how a decimal point can give someone a heart attack.
