| Re: Mental Midget Umm, she was upset that they were digging up her yard time and time again.
So naturally, she drove her car in her yard. I'm sure that was good for the turf.

| Just another event... First mistake... running her vehicle up on her lawn near the workers. Second mistake... giving a statement to ABC news, admitting to it and stating that she was at least 3 feet from them.
Clearly she's unbalanced. Clearly the charges will be reduced to something minor. I'm guessing a charge that will not include jail, community service and a long probation period. | |

At any rate, even if she tried to sue, it would be pretty much summarily dismissed (even if she could find a lawyer to work on her behalf in the first place).

I dont know why they couldnt put all of it in the county easment. I speaking of the fiber install and not the install to your house btw. | |

| OK but... ...she stopped and did not hit anyone. They did not have to run for their lives so I see no point in assault with a deadly weapon charge. Maybe threat with a deadly weapon charge but I'm sure there is no such thing.
But on the other hand I hate people who think their yards are sacred grounds. I think she should be shot and buried in the same trench with the fiber. | |

| my 2 cents I know people work hard on their yards and they want to keep them neat, but if they have the right away, then people shouldnt complain, I know you might get mad having them in your yard, but I think Verizon and other utility workers should post a notice on the residents house telling them they will be working in their yard on the right away and that they have permission to do this under xx law. | |

| Destruction of Property Several years ago Time Warner dug up our back yard when digital cable was installed in the subdivision. TW left with both fences damaged, a half filled trench that was a hazard to my kids and an attitude that they were not responsible for putting our yard back to as found condition. I called TW and complained and their reaction was they did not care since I was not a customer. I ended up paying for repairing the fence and the dirt to fill in the trench. It will be a cold day in hell before I use TW cable and a colder day before they have permission to do any physical work in our yard without a performance bond. | |

| Sounds like a.... She sounds like a real "B". Probably has nothing better to do with her life than pester utility workers. I hate these kind of people.
It's easement. Nuff said. Shut up and go inside. Call the police. If you don't like it when they are done, call and complain or sue them or whatever. Don't threaten people just doing their job. This kind of crap is getting more common (more upgrades I guess?). I'm encountering it quite often. Remember this mantra: "Utility workers are not my whipping boys."
She's lucky none of those guys were like me. They'd be towing her car away with a flatbed by the time I got done with it. She's real lucky she didn't get a sledge hammer or pick through the windshield.
Hopefully she gets punished.

|  Sentence her to dig and install FIOS!
First off, utilities have a right of way to install what ever they need to operate. END OF DISCUSSION. You don't get to say whether they can access it or use it. ITS THE LAW they get access and get to use it!
Second, to all the whiners about their yards. GET OVER IT!  VZ or any else cuts up my yard, oh well. The grass will grow back. No I am not going to do anything to help it grow, water, seed, fertilize etc.. What ever condition the utility leaves it in is the state its going to stay.
So VZ quit digging up the whiners yards COME TO MY PLACE!
The benefits of digging at my house:
1) Free VZ Fios Worker parking. I will make sure you have all the places to park any equipment you want
2) Steak, beer, burgers, brats, ON ME!
3) Dig up the yard all you want, I COULD CARE LESS! Its only grass.
4) Neighbors give you any lip, NO problem I can take care of them
VZ Fios impeders.... off with their heads! Or at least turn their phone service off!
