Reply #50: I Don't Know If It's A Prank [View All]

But in the '70's when the energy crunch first hit, I was a Telephone Installer/Repairman and had to drill holes in their home to run the wire.

If the Customer treated me like an equal human being, I would use a drill bit barely larger than the diameter of the wire and get the ladder off my truck to silicone the hole two or three stories up. If they resented or complained about my presence, I always used a drill bit three times greater than the diameter of the wire, forgot about the silicone and stretched the wire so that the wire would collect water and run inside the walls.

I don't know if it helped, but I noticed one house sold at well under cost and was under rennovation seven years after a MBA prick complained about about the time I showed up and spent drilling 50+ holes for inside wiring at his direction in an 1830's Federal House.

He was a KFC prick with about a fiftheenth of the US resturanats under his "wing" and couldn't concieve of anyone besting "him" in any way...this from a grandson of a guy that beat up Harlan Sanders because he wouldn't pay my Aunts for chickens delivered to his business during the Depression or fired somebody "just" because he and Claudia were having a fight that night (Harlan was married at the time.)
