when U have to go

[reppy007]

Dont tell me that you havent,ok some might....but most of us have been in the business for well over 15 yrs.Many of many of times your in a customers back yard changing out a pole/transformer,ect.Night time isnt so bad...but during the day customers might be at home,and when you need to pee...well ,you need to pee.Once ,while on a call ,just arriving my lead had to go,he told me to be on the look-out.Well all of a sudden the customers appears just like that,I had no time to warn the other lineman.The poor guy thought I did it on purpose,the chineese customers face was priceless.Its worse when the customer has a friendly dog,they always get in the way,and its worse when he gets a little wet and the customer is bringing him into the house.What do you say if the customer wants to know why his dog is wet,I mean it hasnt rained in a week or so.Over the years I must have been caught a handful of times,nothing really said,a couple of smiles here and there.Ive tried to be civil a few times,even asking the customer if I could use their restroom,that has always worked even though other lineman couldnt believe me using the customers $hitter....but like I said at the begining....when u have to go...you have to go.

Were you "really" Ever a Lineman reppy?

ANY Lineman knows how to find a discrete place to take a pee...without all your drama BS.

Now...a #2 does take some consideration and planning....
or..."Ok boys, I'm goin down to the gas station down the street....be Right back."

I dont know what being a lineman has to do with planning to taking a crap...but you would make one hell of a teacher.....( This is how you use toliet paper Mr.reppy)....(Watch how I wipe & you do it the same way)

You wouldn't. A real Lineman would understand what I said.

We had aircraft landing lights in our spotlights, and photo eyes on the alley lights. So the simple answer on a night shift was to enter an alley from the north, aim at the eyes on the alley lights they would go out for a few minutes, pull in behind a garage and nobody knows nothing. Then ten minutes later the control center would send us on alley lights out in a familiar alley. Easy call. . .

Thats great T....easy call.easy OT. I never heard of a pee turning into a trouble call

He said on the night shift, probably no OT involved, for some reason T-man don't strike me as the type to fabricate OT just cause he needed to take a leak.
