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.”
From the July 15, 2025 edition of Service Industry News, we give you, the winner of the 2025 Can You Top This Contest — Jeff Caffery of Caffery Pool Service in Lafayette, Louisiana.
“A blow dryer for your hair dear before you get out? For my first ever Horror File entry, I submit this shocking photo of what I found today. I’ve seen crazy things in my 25 years or so repairing and maintaining pools here in Cajun country, but this in-use power outlet next to the pool water has to be at the top. This pool will be closed to swimming until my electrician fully corrects this horror of a scene.”
Congratulations Jeff! You ran against 15 other horrific entries and took the honors. For your prize, Service Industry News is sending you a $50.00 Home Depot gift card. — Happy Holidays, Jeff.
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 to info@serviceindustrynews.net.
