Cable installer in my alley had a standoff with a raccoon
I was walking my dog last evening and saw a cable truck parked in the alley behind my street. The installer was halfway up a pole, but he kept looking down and shouting. Turns out, a raccoon had climbed into his open tool bag and was rummaging through it. He had to climb down slowly, trying not to startle the animal, while his coworker filmed the whole thing. They eventually lured it out with some snack bars from their lunch. It was a reminder that our job can have some wild moments you never expect. Made me think about all the strange things cable guys must deal with on a regular basis.
