Funny incident at work

So today I had to ride along with another tech while my work truck was finally being repaired. I guess telling my boss that I had to drive home in the pouring rain with my windows down and my head sticking out of the window just to be able to see was enough to spur him into action.

As we worked through the day we ended up having a job at some ghetto ass apartments. A line was broken which meant we had to take down the service of three buildings to repair it.  This is always fun at ghetto ass apartments since people are always late on their damn bills they assume when the service goes out they are being disconnected. So anytime we take it down we will have several people come out wondering if we are cutting them off.

So today it was my turn to cut the service while the other tech made the repairs. So I opened the can and pulled some things viola service out. As I stood there waiting for the repairs to be done I started to hear some man in a nearby apartment start screaming at someone. The person then opened the door and stormed out. This was the greatest site I had seen in awhile. It was some pudgy white guy with long ass dreadlocked multi-colored hair. He looked like a great big ball of doucheness. He took one look at me then went back in.

I assume he wanted to storm outside and bitch out the people disconnecting his service. When he saw me standing their he lost his impetus and sheepishly went back in. Once back inside he started screaming again. He was yelling at his girlfriend/wife. He was screaming at the top of his lungs why she was such a dumb bitch to not pay the bill.

This most of went on for damn near five minutes he was belittling her. Apparently he spent enough time inside that he worked up the courage to come back outside. He again stormed out, took another look at me then went back inside demanding to use her cell phone. I am not sure if he was trying to call some back up or the police or what (people do some bizarre things). After another five minutes of yelling back and forth he came out a third time.

This time he did not storm out but rather sheepishly walked outside and in a calm mild mannered voice he asked if I worked for the utility company. I said that yes I did. He then politely asked me if we were disconnecting his service. I responded that no we were not we were making repairs to the service. He said how sorry he was that I must of heard him yelling inside. I told him it was okay (I was at work after all and couldn't tell him what I really thought- hell if it had not been a work setting there would of been no talking at all).

So damn funny how he lost all heart but could still yell at his whatever she was. Part of me felt bad for her for a second, then I realized anyone with a douchebag like that deserves what she gets.
