When will the torment end? No time soon it seems...
After the neighbor's call a couple of weeks ago, Hubby and I just decided to let it go and see what happens- we agreed that there is no need to keep worrying about what she might or might not do... and if she does have our cable line cut after her self-imposed deadline, then we will just call the cable company and have it hooked back up. Well, one night last week after work I found one of those door hanger info tags on our front door from the cable company informing us that they had come out to service our cable and needed to get into our home to complete the work. Hubby contacted them the next day and never received a call back- again, we just let it ride since we did not call them out in the first place. Well guess who calls Hubby this past Friday... yep, you guessed it- psycho-neighbor lady. She wanted to let us know that since the cable company never relocated our cable lines off "her" pole this past week that she was having it disconnected on Monday (today). Needless to say, the call wound up being another ugly ending one- I am just so glad that Hubby has decided not to take any more crap from her. Well, Saturday afternoon we receive a phone call from the cable company- they are following up on our service call scheduled for Monday (today) from 2pm-5pm to repair our service. I tell them that there is nothing wrong with our service and that we did not schedule for them to come out for any repairs. But, I have an idea of WHO did! I explain the situation to the lady with the cable company and we realize during that phone call that the neighbor must be calling up and acting like she is us and scheduling service work on our lines! Didn't I say psycho lady earlier? Who in their right mind would impersonate their neighbors to get the cable company to come out? Besides the fact they were told to come and "fix" a damaged line when she really wants them to "relocate" their lines. We discussed any options on getting service to our house without utilizing her pole- any thing to get the heck away from her at this point! So they set up for a maintenance crew to come out Monday (today) to look into bringing the service into our home a different route. I voiced my point again that we would NOT be there when the maintenance crew came out- not this time- they are on their own! Well, how surprised were we when a cable company bucket truck came rolling down our driveway yesterday! Yes, on Mothers Day Sunday at that! The very nice older gentleman wanted to check out the lines and such and after investigating the situation and the layout of the property he concluded that our lines could not be relocated- that per code, the cable lines have to follow the power lines and that is exactly what they are doing now. After explaining the timeline that has occurred since this all started in 2004, he said that he was going to have his highest supervisor get in touch with the neighbor and explain to her that there is no other option. I told him that they better have tough skin. He also said that if she touched their lines that it is a felony and she would be in some serious trouble. (Is it awful for me to wish her to do it just to be punished??)
So today is Monday and who knows what is going down today with the cable lines and/or the psycho-neighbor. What I do know is that I better not miss the finale of the Biggest Loser tomorrow night because she decided to pay some riff-raff electrician to cut our cable and she better not call or show up at our home tonight wanting to start something. We shall see what tomorrow brings....
