BRIEF AND TO THE POINT User ID: 381742 United States 11/18/2009 02:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cut all cords that cross the property line next time. Poor people do poor people things, and rich people do rich people things. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it! when you rob Paul to give to Peter ... ... ... you will always get Peters support! :Brieffromnativea: |

I unplugged their cord and asked why they did it, they didn't have a good answer...I took down their company name, number. What should I do? Quoting: ~I just finished talking with their manager. Turns out the manager's sons (both young...early 20's) plugged it in at my house because the outdoor plugs at the house they're roofing are blown (circuit out). The father apologized and said his sons didn't think anything wrong of it. I think it was an honest mistake. I don't think the kids will do that again. |

I mean, if they are old enough to do the roofing, old enough to discover they needed an alternative electricity supply, and old enough to figure out you could provide this, wouldn't they be old enough to knock on your door and ask? If your car was out of gas would they be cool with you hopping in theirs and taking off? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 728979 United States 11/18/2009 03:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | has nothing to do with neighborly love.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 701482they should have asked first...perhaps the outlet was closer? who knows... bottom line if your property your call if you want to share..pure arrogance and theft by just doing it. You're right. The guys should have asked permission. I understand their thoughts at the moment, though: they were tunnel-vision on gettin the roofing job done, saw an electric outlet, and went for it. No malice intended, I'm sure, just a lack of consideration in forgetting to ask permission. If that's the worst today brings, it won't have been a bad day! |

You can just be thankful that you have an electricty supply, and stop whining over such a minor infraction in the grand scheme of things. Quoting: Ugly Betty2. You can slay them all in a columbine-style massacre. Thanks for the wide range of options. I'm leaning more towards #1. But my blood pressure did rise a bit when I saw that cord running across the lawn and over to their work site. WTF was the first thing I thought. What makes me lean towards #2 is that one time long ago, I was bitten by a neighbors dog. Neighbor never leashed the dog, and my arm became the toy for the dog that day. Just a bit bruised, not much surface blood. Anyway, I confronted this neighbor and they promised to leash the dog at all times going forward. Well, 2 months later, the same dog bit a young kid in the neighborhood. I felt stupid for not doing more. |

If this is how they set up to start a job, your neighbor better ride herd on those wankers and make sure the new roof goes on his house instead of your house. |
