Overheard on the Front Step

BANG BANG BANG BANG

DaddyBear – Hello, sorry it took so long to get to the door. I was at the back of the house.

Utility Contractor With A Pissy Attitude And A Reflective Vest (UCWAPAAARV) – Good morning, sir.  I’m with UTILITYCONTRACTOR.  We’re going to be replacing the gas riser next to your house today.

DaddyBear – Oh, yes, I saw the pamphlet that LG&E sent.  So we’ll be losing gas for a while today, then.

UCWAPAAARV – Yes, you will.  When we’re done, we’ll need someone 18 or over to be home so that we can relight your stove, furnace, and water heater.

DaddyBear – That won’t be necessary.  All of our stuff has electronic ignition.

UCWAPAAARV – LG&E says we have to go in and do it.  We’ll just go in and check.

DaddyBear – No, that’s not necessary.

UCWAPAAARV – LG&E says it has to be done.  The paperwork says we have to come in and check.

DaddyBear – And my name on the deed says you won’t.  Let me know when you’re done so I can use the oven again.  Thanks.

Sound of door closing

 

Grrrr.  My people skills aren’t up to someone coming to my door and telling me that I have to let them into my home this morning.
