KOT,

Lazy? Ha!

In one install we replaced all of the RG-6 in a full remodel. Customer called Comcast for the setup.

Nothing worked.

Installer1: "Bad inside wiring."

[leaves]
[customer calls again]

Installer2: "Bad inside wiring."

[leaves]
[customer calls again]

Installer3: "Bad inside wiring."

[leaves]
[customer calls again]


[this time we are on site]

Installer4: "Bad inside wiring."

[attempts to leave, but his path is blocked]

Us: "Why don't you check the sidewalk vault?"

[very pained expression regarding the unreasonable demands of some customers and their 'expert' installers, but this guy decided to go the extra mile and accommodate this unreasonable customer once and for all, then stomps out to the vault]

(pulls cover)
(a few seconds elapse)

Installer4: "Gimme two minutes."

(picture!)

This reminds me of the old joke that starts:

How many [...target ethnic group...] does it take to change a light bulb? ...
