best funny moment on the job this year had me in stitches

out here in Arizona the heat makes jobs interesting but today i was wiring up a 200A subpanel for this new build with milwaukee m18 tools and the homeowner's dog decided to 'help' by chasing my drill bit like it was a toy. the whole time im trying to get the 14/2 romex in place and this pup is yipping and jumping around my feet. finally got it done and the owner laughed so hard he tipped me extra, said it was the most entertainment he's had in months. been doing this 8 years and thats one for the books. saw a similar story on r/electricians last week too. NGL, made my day.

sounds like a win, always nice when they appreciate the chaos.

homeowners with pets are always a wildcard.

those damn insurance companies would have a fit if the dog caused a short.

felt that, had a cat knock over my ladder once.

arizona heat plus pets? recipe for funny fails.

my back is killing me from similar distractions.

dude that tip was the real shocker.

insurance hates us all equally.

i get it, pets on site are nonstop.

why do clients let animals roam free?

gotta love those unexpected helpers.

arizona jobs sound way more fun than mine.

frustrated with clients who dont control their mutts.

same, one bit my hand last week.

asking, did the dog actually touch any wires?

sharkbites are trash for serious work, stick to solders.

everyones mad at the same crap inspectors.

i feel ya on the pet chaos.

hate when animals turn jobs into circuses.

lighten up, its the best part sometimes.

clients like that deserve the eff you price.

got a good chuckle out of that.

insurance premiums are BS this year.

use a baby gate next time, works wonders.

thats hilarious, need more stories like this.

pets or not, tips are rare gold.

frustrating when they dont warn you.

i hear ya, same old headaches.

funny how dogs sense the tools.

watched electrican u video on subpanels, helped me laugh too.

thats the kind of day we all need.

proud of you for keeping cool.

hate surprise animal attacks.

i feel the struggle daily.

clients pushing back on every detail.

insurance is screwing everyone over.

same, pets everywhere now.

why even have dogs if they cause issues?

arizona sun plus dog chases? epic.

dont get me started on claims.

had a worse one with a bird.

thats gold, share more.

use treats to distract them.

i know that feeling all too well.

proud moment when it ends well.

gcfi breakers save lives, but dogs? nah.

clients are the real animals.

beware loose pets, they trip you up.

funny, but coulda been bad.

solid job handling it.

hate when jobs go sideways.

got a kick outta that story.

warning, always check for pets first.

frustrated clients dont prep sites.

try a milwaukee packout to block em.

same crap, different day.

insurance hikes are killing us.

thats a win in my book.

saw something like that in electricians network fb group.

dont mess with live wires around critters.

clients think its funny til its not.

arizona sparks fly both ways.

insurance companies can shove it.

i commiserate, pets are chaos magnets.
