yep, same here.
Although, I actually think my old cable tv guys found a way to really stretch the hardline coax at times. ...limited budget, mom & pop cable company thing.

When I was in the Marines and first reported to my unit I was told to get a can of "BEEP".
Well I went to ask for it because, well.. the F if I know what it was. Hell Military abbreviations right? Well then all the sudden after I got it "HA HA You went to get a can of BEEP for the horn". I was like... "Errr No. you said you needed a can of beep. Didn't say what for. Cause if you said that I would have called BS". But they had their little laugh.
Well the guys at work played a trick on me.
Last year I was working at a Ford facility and the plants in our area just instituted a policy "don't drive a Ford, don't park in our lots." Well, I had my GM Geo Tracker that day.
A guy that just came back into my buliding after a smoke came up to me and asked "is that your Geo in the lot?" He looked kinda concerned so I asked whats up.... Then he proceeds to tell me security is having it towed right now. I start getting kinda pissed and go outsde.... there's security (oh s#!7!) I'm about 50' from the security vehicle, about ready to b!%@# 'em out, when the co-worker yells for me "Jim!... Jim!!" I go back over there and the son of a b!%@# is laughing....
Turns out security was just sitting in the lot doing nothing. They weren't even starting that "tow foreign vehicles" policy in my building. That guy still brings it up from time to time! _________________ - Jim
