Reply #10: Paraphrasing Buford T. Justice:

[Kierkegaard]

"Id barbeque his ass in molasses."

I'm assuming that you didn't get a word of acknowledgment from this guy, much less an apology, for him having screwed up your cabling? If that were the case, I would certainly tell the guy 'Hey, before you do any more digging, have your guys take the proper precautions so they don't cut my services again.' If they proceed to do more work without going through the proper channels, I'd call the cops.

Life's too short to put up with rude assholes. Let someone else deal with it.
