Cable Guy Stories: Deck The Halls With Used Condoms
Just in time for Christmas, I’ve decided to post another blog. Yes, I have been quiet recently.
It’s Christmas Eve, and I’m lucky enough to work a half day today. I looked at my route when I got to the office this morning and it looks straightforward. So, I proceed to my first call of the day.
I arrive and find out that the customer would like to have TV service in his bedroom, where he already has internet. Great! No problem!
So, I start my work. I go to plug in the digital box that I’ve brought to hook up when I see a used condom entangled in the wires that I am working near/around. The guy is sitting nearby and I know he sees what I see, but does nothing. WTF?!
So, as I gingerly pick around the area, being careful to not touch it and on the lookout for other rogue condoms that could be lurking in the collection of wires and dirty socks. Meanwhile, this guy is chatting away with me either ignoring or oblivious to the fact that I may find the situation a little disgusting..
I finished up and booked it out of that call. Fortunately, the rest of my morning was uneventful.. :)
And on that note, Merry Christmas! :)
