Utility Pole

 I was getting ready for work when I looked out the window and saw the utility company starting to erect a pole in front of my house.
 
They were going to position it directly in front of my picture window.  
No way, absolutely no way was I going to permit this.
  
I gulped down my last bit of coffee and went directly to the crew supervisor and told him in no uncertain terms that I was not going to permit his crew to put that stupid electrical pole directly in front of my picture window.  

He took out a plat map, a map for pole locations and a right of way document and explained that it is the best location for it.  

I told him it is not the best location for me and when I came home from work that day I did not want to find that pole in front of my window.  

I told him I didn't give a hoot where he put it but not in front of my window.  
I felt pretty smug as I drove off to work because I felt I got my point across.  

I know they are afraid to put it there now.... Ah..... the feeling of power............at least until I got home.
