the terms of service :CCCCCCCCC

They should of went to a water park for the day.

@@nucklehead718 do you realize they are vampires and they don't like the light!!!!

Oh. My. Fuck. 🤦‍♂️ 🤣 This HANDS DOWN has to be THE worst 1st world problem I’ve ever heard

on that topic, I’m kinda curious- is it even legal for them to go out there, SEE that there is NOTHING preventing them from hitting a gas line and blowing up a house and killing multiple people, and then going out and digging anyway?

@@haikarawalker6996 I worked for Dominion Energy, we couldn't dig anywhere without calling Ms Utility first, it's written on their trucks, and stickers everywhere saying it, all electric companies have to do it before they dig. That company would've been held responsible if they really did damage or possibly killed someone, hell...their liable now for his internet. I would've looked it up and then said something about it.

Responsibility varies by state. Some states require the homeowner to call, some require the contractor to call. Sounds like Texas is the former.

@@mozeytown Most likely, but the contractor wouldn't have forked over any money if he wasn't at fault, sounds like he knew he was wrong, so he partially covered his ass by paying half.

@@mozeytown My friend lives in Texas, and we had a similar situation 3 months ago - this is a case in Texas too. They just straightt up lied to Sweat, so they wouldn't be held accountable. The one that is legally obliged to call 811 in before the job, is the Employee who is going to be digging - not the customer that called for said help. For what it's worth, the customer has every right to not know what the heck 811 is, because that line is used mostly only in the Industry, rather than by private people. *I said "we" because I was visiting him at the time. Difference for us, was that they cut 2 Lines we had - 1 for the Internet, and the other was some old non-essential sh_t that wasn't even connected to anything anymore. *Sorry if you got this notif 3 times, my PC froze when I was writting it, and after I noticed it posted the reply 3 times. I deleted the rest for obvious reasons.

@@ragecounterfit309 we have a smart guy here 🥸

@@ragecounterfit309 noob

Oh, me too, but sadly your time outside isn't enough to understand a joke 🥸

@@ragecounterfit309 you know this whole video is a joke

@@ragecounterfit309 yea because his job is doing videos and stremas in the Internet

Ya the contractor seems like a pos

Yea I was just about to say this, the responsibility goes to the person actually doing the digging haha

Actually most of the time the resident had to call 811, the contractor can call on behalf of the resident but most of the time there is a stipulation within the contract that states that a customer needs to call 811.

@@Thatoneguy73x the law states it falls on the contractor.

@@apocalypseg0d690 not if the customer signs a contract, the customer (typically) will sign the contract saying that it will be the customers responsibility to call 811 before breaking ground on any job, and can be held liable for damage done to infrastructure and or contractor equipment. That’s why you need to read the contract, a law doesn’t mean anything if you sign the responsibility away. And most contractors will remind the customer to ensure they call 811.

Premeditated for real smh

Landlords are really scum of the earth

@@DEADtoRISE08 not what he was saying….

@@DEADtoRISE08 Literally not what he was saying... Did you even watch the video or read the comment you replied to? This is about a sprinkler repair guy digging blindly and hitting Sweat's fiber optic cable. Said guy's boss straight up lied to Sweat about where blame should be placed, assuming that Sweat and Co have no idea about 811 regulations when digging. He then tried to take advantage of that and only pay half of the price of repair for the fiber optic splicer to repair the cable, when in reality this guy should be reported to 811 for violation of basic contracting work regulations and also to the BBB for making false/illegal claims and general shady business practices.

I am genuinely scared for you if you are serious

@@ABLIINDGUY why are you scared for him? He straight up shanked the dog to death that’s gangsta 🗿

@@ABLIINDGUY Well I say out of the house all day, my "day time" as I work night shift, so we sat in the neighbors driveway all night after getting out the hospital, waiting for them to carry the body out. I have pictures of the blood, got the knife back a few months ago after the investigation ended along with the full report. Offence: Murder - Declined to prosecute - Justifiable Homicide. They had my Pixel 4 XL for 3 days till I was able to get it back, it was soaked in blood, had re-activated an old Nexus 6 for those 3 days. I have a post on Knives subreddit showcasing the knife used. Months after the break in, my older, and only, brother passed away from diabetes 1, then a couple months later the mother of my 9 year old daughter also passed away. last 1 to 1 1/2 years haven't been the best I'd say if I were questioned...

A month and a half without internet!? You definitely deserve a medal

sorry you went through that soldier

Well, they can do literally whatever they want as long as it's not literally illegal and it's in terms of service and a customer/client signed it :'D ...but hey, sometimes it can make things much cheaper and/or faster than doing it "properly"

@@mrcrabowski it is illegal tho, regardless if its in their “tos” by law *contractors* are required to contact 811 2 days before digging.

@@ShinigamiH As I said, "as long as it's not literally illegal"... if it is illegal, then it's very clear... I'm not American, laws like that are not something I'd commonly seek or learn, I just used common sense Here, if it's on your land and it's some regular digging (from small things, thru e.g. in-ground swimming pool up to e.g. a well), they just need a valid land plan* where all the pipes are (incl. depth)... also, here all the pipes and cables are usually 80-120 cm deep (minimum is 35 cm) so you'd have to dig a LOT before you'd get there :'D Edit: *) + of course all the regular paperwork

I work at USIC. Contractors are suppose to call. 100% their fault

@@mrcrabowski ok, just informing you how it is here, regardless if sweat called 811, the contractors are still required to call 811 two days before any digging, sweat could of provided them of all paperwork of where things were at but they would still need to call. The contractors in this case were just lazy/neglectful be it intentionally or not.

Legit happened to my friend a few days ago. I don't get those people man.

@@FadedMaple07 how fked in the head do you have to be to do that like what

@@DavDav2233_ Ikr, like what the fuck was the motive? At least breaking into someone's house and stealing benefits the thief (I don't condone stealing). There's literally no benefit in cutting some random person's optic cable.

Or just play offline games 😂

This is even worse than being crippled. He deserves a prize for his pain and hardships.
