Containing facts, figures and a whole bunch of nothing...
It just doesn't pay to tick-off the power company
Published on May 2, 2005 By Dark-Star In Humor
I was getting ready for work when I looked out the window and saw the utility company starting to erect a pole in front of my house. They were going to position it directly in front of my picture window.

No way, absolutely no way, was I going to permit this. I gulped down my last bit of coffee and went directly to the crew supervisor and told him in no uncertain terms that I was not going to permit his crew to put that stupid electrical pole directly in front of my picture window.

He took out a plat map, a map for pole locations and a right of way document, and explained that it is the best location for it. I told him it is not the best location for me and when I came home from work that day, I did not want to find that pole in front of my window.

I told him I didn't give a hoot where he put it but not in front of my window. I felt pretty smug as I drove off to work because I felt I got my point across.

I know darn well they are afraid to put it there now....
Ah..... the feeling of power............

at least until I got home.............
