Removed my fair share of inadvertent party lines while working. Most, if not all, were due to incorrect records and sloppy installations of new service. One customer, who added a second line, had an unauthorized person who was using the line for free. When I was fixing the problem, she got on the line and started dropping f-bombs at me. Quickly solved that issue...don't piss off the phone guy who is toting snips.


For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."

2 Thessalonians 3:10
