So there I am, eating my lunch and watching some TV, when I hear a very loud sound from outside. Sounded odd, so I went to investigate. Turns out it was from a semi truck that somehow got lost and ended up on my very residential sized street. As it tried to round the corner next to the house behind me, he didn't think he could make it and tried to back up. And backed right into some lines hanging across the street he somehow didn't hit the first time past. The line goes to a pole in my backyard, then 90 degrees over to the back of my house. Ripped it, bracket and all, off my house, so now it's hanging a couple feet over my backyard. Same with the neighbor on the other side of the street. Looks like it's the internet line, and while the internet is still connected, had to call to get them to send someone out to put it back on the house. Oh, and the driver, who said he was going to find a place to park and come back to call someone, yeah, we're never gonna see him again.If there was a parrot involved, that would've felt like a BD story.
