Our company does alarms now. I am hooking one up for a couple and noticed peculiarities in the house. They want several closet doors rigged with sensors, which I have never heard of before. The job itself is easy. The weird thing was the man and the woman. The entire time I was there they referred to each other as Bro, and Sis. When I was getting near to done, they were sitting on the couch in the living room watching television and holding hands. As I walked back and forth hooking up rooms, I caught them out of the corner of my eye kissing several times.
I usually don't jump to conclusions, and just figured they had weird pet names.
My friend went back out there to hook up more televisions a week later. He said their mom was there, confirmed brother and sister, and he saw the kissing also.

Can I help you
Disconnects are a great way to start the day. You don't have to talk to anyone, and it lets you get to a job at 8 am with no drama.
I arrive at a disconnect and park in the circle court of a dead end street. I put out my cones, and am getting my tool belt on when the neighbor drives up and parks near me. He gets out, and approaches.
"Can I help you?" he asks, with anger in his brows.
"Nope." I smile and start walking toward the pedestal, my van clicking locked.
"You can't park there!" He replies.
I look back at my van., and then at him. "Yes, I can."
"I'm going to call the cops!"
"Ok." still walking to do the job, approaching the fence. "Call em, I'll be done and gone in 10 minutes."
Grumbling. "Oh, Ok. If you're not gone in 10 minutes, I'll have them out here!" and he storms off.
I get done, and sit there for 15 minutes. I notice him looking out window, and smile.
The guy had a theft tag on his line, which marked him as having been a previous stealer of cable at some point.

Slow Internet
I arrive at a couple's house. He has tattoo's and military paraphernalia around the house. She has a neck tattoo.
They are complaining that their internet is slow. Before I walked up to the house I was able to see their modem is newer, Docsis 3, and that it has good signal/ up for 23 days. The odds are really likely that their computers or equipment is the issue. I explained this over the phone. 15 minutes talking to her, and she decided ya come out, even if there is a charge.
I show up, test the signal. My meter shows 190 mbps down, and 40 mbps up. That is ridiculous. On their xbox he gets 44 down, and 3 up. On her computer 44 down, and 3 up. Odd. I know its not the signal, so investigate the modem. I lift it up, and roaches crawl out. I shake it, and roach dust/carapaces fall out. I tell her, it's not the cable, it's the equipment. I then proceed to inform her how roaches like the glue in electronics, and proper sanitation techniques.
