Here's a quick story about a failed utility company inspection that I witnessed today. I recently had a gas stove installed at home, and county regulations require that it be inspected by the gas utility company shortly after installation. Well, my inspection was scheduled for today, so I stayed home all day to wait for the inspector. The latest they were to arrive was 2pm, so I called the utility when nobody arrived by 3pm. The person I talked to sounded surprised and said, "but they did come out to your home and I have a record that your installation failed the inspection for [reasons x, y and z]." Well I had been home all day and was rather confident that nobody came into my house and inspected my kitchen. And further [reasons x, y and z] didn't even match the installation details in my kitchen. So they put me on the line with the inspector, and it turns out that he inspected the wrong house. He simply walked into someone else's house and did an inspection on their gas stove. And the funniest part; those poor people failed their inspection! My inspection has been rescheduled for next Friday. (Sorry for the lack of paragraph breaks.)
