You can't make this stuff up...
There was a cable TV wire that had come loose, perhaps from all the high winds we've been having of late, and it was dangling some ~7 feet above and across the neighbors driveway.
I noticed it one day last week when I was heading out on my walk. Upon my return, and being a good and thoughtful neighbor, I thought it best if I flagged the cable so it could be seen more easily. I grabbed a white plastic bag and tied it to the lowest point in the sagging cable.
Fast forward to the other evening and the cable company dispatched a crew and fixed the issue!
Yes, they fixed the sagging cable but sadly, and yet another example of the poor workmanship, lack of professionalism and today's 'who gives a shit' work ethics and attitudes, the crew left the white bag tied to the cable! All they did was pull the cable taut, shored it up and moved along. Nothing more, nothing less.
So, now this unsightly bag, that now sticks out like a sore thumb, will be on display for years and years to come.
Sure would be refreshing to see folks start taking more pride in their job and workmanship. After all, their shoddy work is a direct reflection on them!
