just a law suit away.. someone's gonna not see that pole one day.
Is that a dead end street? There's a sidewalk so it's evidently not an irrelevant road.
Regardless, it's not right. That is truly baffling.
Happens a lot when they widen roads or move curbs. most times the utility company is sent a notice and as long as permits are done right, they have the right to pave the road.
several times i was sent out to move a pedistal and the entire assembly had been paved over and we had to dig up a new road. within a few months ill bet its moved.
Somebody should put a tiny sign on it that says "LOL" right at windshield-height. That way when somebody is texting and plows into it, they'll get the joke.
ok,, im sold..............
next picture that shows up will have LOL on it,, in a triangle yellow sign.
stand by
LOL.
I mean uh, hahaha, funny. Good one. :giggle:
So if the paving company beats the utility company to the scene, they get to come back again later for more tax dollars?
Maybe it's for those people that need to make wide right turns. Lol
The above discussion makes sense....but it kinda looks like to me somebody paved a 2 track years ago and never moved the power polls....
Travis
well now, hum , wonder who did this
Awesome ;)
Is that doctored or is that a sign that is seriously there, chilling in the mild, southern air this fine evening?
well , its really there
if you like I can break out an old polaroid instant pic, then take a pic of that,,, .....hum,, that sounds really odd
That's amazing. Countdown until the town comes by and rips it off? LOL
its gone!
now I have to have a dozen made.. I think by the third one they may put that pole on community watch to see who's hanging the sign.
Someone is going to hit that pole and that's some free $ just waiting to make someone rich.
DON'T screw this up. Plan CAREFULLY, vary your times and intervals....overkill down to the last boring seemingly-insignificant-farfetched detail.
Haha...please make sure you continue to highlight this foible.
HA! That is awesome, keep up the good work sir. This put a smile on my face this morning.
Screw it to the pole with tamper-proof screws. Sure they can bust it off with a pry bar, but it would slow them down a little ;)
so, apparently PA is worse.......!!!!!!!!!
here is a pole I nearly ran right into,, why you ask?
because its right in the middle of the freaking ROAD!!!!!!!!
Clarion PA is the location
as you can see, a local is showing me how to negotiate this like its normal.
So it's at the joint of the dealership driveway and the road? Still. . Insert rantings about inefficient and incompetent government, etc.
That's hilarious.
Dayum!!! I gotta say I've never seen that in VA...
There is a street near here leading to new apts that was just widened and has pole situated similar to Scott's first posting, BUT it's yellow taped off till VA Power can move it...
Geesh. In Chicago we just leave giant holes in the road :hick:
The people who pave these roads and/or plant the poles are clearly Obama voters LOL.
In other words, they do as they want without regard to others' lives.. Unreal. If I had a beater, I'd be tempted to hit one, then sue whatever entity created the hazard. Less the cost of sad beater, the gas needed to move it into contact with said pole, and of course the insurance. Proceeds above and beyond those would go to Wounded Warriors. ;) Who's in? LOL
Clarion, Pa.......
That explains it all.
LOL !
no its not at a dealer driveway,, their entry is down over the hill to the right of my pic.
this is a actual road leading up hill to residential plots.
Hey, at least they put a 4 inch wide yellow stripe around it at eye level!
Wow, that is crazy, but love the yellow sign!!!
Yep, stuff like this actually happens alot.
I had a job to move a pedestal amplifier ped where they were widening a road. Put it right in the center. We talked to the road crew forman and told him we'd we there at midnight to move it. He got mad and said he had asphalt coming at 5 am and if it was still there he'd pave over it.
When we showed up at midnight, they ran it over with a steam roller and compacted road base all around it. We got to dig down through almost 5 ft of gravel to get down to the flattened box.
Luckily they left the keys in the steam roller, they parked it right on top. I wonder if they ever found they keys? They came up "missing" right after we finished...
Oh !!!! You reap what you sow....nice one Stax!
Just about any cabinet / toolbox key will start a steamroller / heavy piece of equipment. Ask me how I know... Okay I'll tell. There was a forktruck looked just like this (http://imgusr.tradekey.com/p-1201439-20080110172625/caterpillar-forklift-100-000lbs.jpg) that was parked out back at work. I tried my toolbox key and it started right up. Did some doughnuts and called it a day. Fun, fun.
That is true, we had kabota mini excavators and the original keys quit working, but any key for the bins of our trucks worked fine.
I actually made a bet with some freinds once that I could fire up a lil kabota forklift that was sitting downtown without keys.
