    I work for an internet/phone company and… well, I try not to do this. Like, I kinda worry it comes off as unprofessional, ya know? But sometimes, you just see some shit. Like, I need the person who owns the house to understand that yes, the person who wired your house is a moron because no, wirenuts are not an acceptable way to splice cat5e ethernet runs.

      I love some of these older, circa 1950s home where everyone came back from the war and decided that since they could handle Germany that they could handle building a house between them and all their brothers.

      I admire their spirit at least, if perhaps not their electrical skills!

        Oh. I’m sure electricians get to see some real sketchy shit. Some old two pair phone wires spliced in a shitty way might suck, but at least it’s not gonna start a fire or kill somebody… probably.
