utility workers never listen. just two days ago the neighbors had a broken cable, and to save their own pavers they told the crew to route it through our compound instead. they didn't even bother asking us. the crew just showed up and started using a breaker on our floor, but we caught them and stopped it right away. we even warned them about a water pipe right there. but as soon as we left, they dug it up anyway and broke the water pipe too. had to chase them down for days just to get it fixed, and they still left half the pit wide open. they are so irresponsible, they just want to finish their job and run away.
This happened in the City I live (not this specific incident) but the council refused full payment as the contract of works clearly said they had to relay the brickwork exactly how it was.

You can hardly even tell they dug it up. 🥺
