CAN YOU TOP THIS?

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Chase Caudill in Louisville, Kentucky.

“We showed up to this pool to close it for the winter”, writes Chase.

“The customer did not request that the pool be cleaned, but when we saw what looked to be a bunch of hot dogs at the bottom of the pool, well, we had to scoop them all up. And it just so happened that’s exactly what it was! The customer didn’t say how or why there were so many in their pool.”

Well, Chase, that’s a first for us here too. At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday — cracked tiles, spaghetti plumbing, rats in heaters, cars in the pool, snakes in the plumbing, and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Send your photo to serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com. Please write: Attention Horror File, in the subject line and thank you for remembering us when you are out there working hard.
