I had the same thing happen to me when one of my roommates stayed over winter break and decided to keep the house heated to a comfy 85 degrees 24 hours a day for 3 weeks while she lived alone. When I walked in after break, I was nearly knocked over by the heat. The heating bill came in at a whopping $450 instead of the normal $100 to $125. There really was nothing we could do except split the bill evenly among the group, and keep the thermostat at 72 degrees or lower when the house was empty. I was not happy at all. Since then I have not lived with other people where we split the electric or gas bills.
Maybe you should consider living alone in the future.
