Rednecks and Backhoes

They don't mix.

Yesterday my new neighbor decided he was going to install a new septic tank himself.

BAD BAD IDEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I watched the equipment rental company deliver the backhoe to his yard yesterday morning. And I thought to myself this guy has totalled 3 cars in less than a year, what kind of damage is he going to do with this thing?


Less than 10 minutes after I heard the machine start up I found out. The idiot dug up my power and phone lines. Did he stop when the sparks flew? Nope.

The power company came out quick and got my power back by going off another pole and connecting me above ground. The phone company idiots looked and said "we will be back after he's finished" .... NO NO NO wrong fucking answer my freinds.

After a breif discussion with their supervisor "The supervisor kept asking for my wife to get on the phone. Apparantly she is nicer about these things." They ran a line down my driveway far from my neighbors hole.

Took them until this morning to hook my dsl back up. So if you tried messaging me yesterday ... please try again.


BTW bellsouth
