And for my part in complete moronizm lol, as a profession C--band installer, playing with my own dish at home with a hand from my brother, I swapped my old dish out for another one, lucky it was a old dish I refurbished myself. But anyway, I usually always make sure to move the ladder before I go inside, we where having some issues we both were fed up, we both went in, and I went to go to a known satellite for check my arc alignment. And the dish stopped moving, I was like (hmm that was quick). Then I look at my bro and I I asked him (did you move the ladder?) And to make a long story short I smashed into the ladder with the dish and busted out a mesh panel! Dish works fine, lucky the Linear actuator stopped and didn't keep going and fold it in a half, and I'm just glad it was my dish and not a customers, first time I ever did that, and I hope it's the last.

A friend sold and installed C-band and when he arrived for a service call about no signal, he saw that the customer's pole had a section of pipe that my friend hadn't added. Without guy wires. Which allowed the wind to bend the pipe.

A neighbor had bought a dish and this guy just had to have the taller mount, so he hired someone to add 10' of pipe. My friend informed him that, with the satellites orbiting at over 22K miles, another 10' doesn't freaking matter and that the added pipe needs to be supported.
My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."
