Ya ain't comin' in
This morning I'm laying out my clothes for work, about to get in the shower, and the doorbell rings. It's 2 guys with the gas company wanting to come in and check where the line comes in.
Sure we got a letter from the gas company saying they would be doing work and may need access to our property. And yes, there have been 3 huge trucks for the past week doing work on the gas lines.
But yeah, no. Anybody can get an orange vest and a hard hat.
So I said, "No, you can't come in right now. I don't know if you're actually with the gas company, and my husband isn't home, and I'm getting ready for work. You can come back when he's here."
They seemed annoyed. But whatevs.
The cats were acting very odd stalking around. Granted they usually are nuts, but I felt the need to listen to them and I locked the door before I got in the shower.
I'm also calling the gas company just to make sure.
Kind of makes me sad my first inclination is think "home invader" instead of "guys trying to do thier job". But you never know these days.
Re: Ya ain't comin' in
Yeah, I'm paranoid, too.
I think they would give you more specifics and notice about when they would need access to your property, so you could prepare or reschedule.
Most of the time, if I'm home by myself, I don't answer the door unless I'm expecting someone.
DH is going to work from home tomorrow morning until the gas guys stop by again.
On the upside, we got a good bit of the basement organized so it's moderately acceptable for them to go in.
Ha! I think we need a dog. My cats just skulk around suspiciously. More shifty than scary.
BTW, when I called the gas company they said thier workers carry ID. The two dudes at my door didn't offer up any ID when they asked to come in. I'm not calling them shady because they probably are with the gas company, but wouldn't you think they'd lead off with showing that first? Make it a wee more official?
