the counsil decided it would be a good idea to do some work on the street this morning without telling me.. so they have ripped my whole gutter out and dug a 1m deep hole.. unless there building a mote for me im not very happy.

they didnt even warn me so i could move my car out so i can actually u know.. drive it to work and stuff?

if i ring up the counsil and have a big whinge will they hook me up with some free cab fare or something!

I'm sure they could use some of those rampy thingies they use to get the digging vehicles on the truck as a bridge to get your car out.

And have a freeze frame half way and get the Dukes of Hazzard narrator say something like "That boy better grow some wings, or he's in a 12 piece bucket of trouble"

Hire a mini bobcat and fill the hole in yourself, then drive your car out.

Mutha f***ers ...
That is so low ... when they did this thing to my parents house some ... errr 10 years ago now they went door knocking 2 days in advance to let everyone know what was going to happen and then again the morning before they started work.

Thats what they should have done.
Lazy council f***s.

I'm for filling in the hole yourself. If they're too lazy to at least tell you beforehand, make them do EXTRA work by re-digging the hole out. When they question you about it just say it must have been ninjas.

I would have such a hard time keeping a straight face when telling them it was ninjas.

LOL!

This happened to me once when I was giving up smoking (so I was a completely psychopathic at the time).

Anyway, I drive my car up to the point where the footpath was all dug up, turned my car off and got out of my car and said what the f*** is going on here?? And one of the workers is like we put notices in all the letterboxes about this, and I'm like, nah, I never got one, and I need to get to work in 15 minutes or my boss is going to have my arse, so I need to get my car out, right f***ing now. And he said you'll have to speak to the foreman then, so I'm like, OK, and walked up to him furious saying I need to get my car out right or my boss is going to fire me. And he's like you didn't know about this? And I said no. So he sighed and said okay... Then some dude in a bobcat filled the driveway back in with dirt for me while I watched :)

My favourite story like this was when they dug a huge hole out the front of our house to tamper with the phone lines, at some point half way through they came to tell us the phones would be out for several hours (after they'd cut them off mind you). At the end of the day it still wasn't working and we used mobiles to ring Telstra. Turns out one of the workers had left his helmet down there... on the cable, cutting off the signal... They came back to fix it...Inadvertantly cutting the line completely.

3 days, giant hole, retarded Telstra workers. Lucky I had cable net at that house.

You'd think they'd carry a sheet of metal or something that they can lay over such holes to let cars in/out when this sort of s*** happens.

You'd expect the city council to be prepared?

Council wouldn't be prepared, this is why they need to subcontract all these things out - you get companies with real reputations on the line who try and keep people happy.
