Comcast is an American enemy. Comcast is more dangerous to America than ISIS or Al Qaeda or Russia
Comcast is NBC and MSNBC
The workers depicted are with out doubt Ameriscum assholes
take up for Comcast and you become the enemy
I live in New England. I don’t drive when it’s snowing unless I have to, either.
I spent 42 years and my oldest son is working on his 30th year outside plant. Hurricanes and snow storms, it does not matter, people want their phone, electric and gas services back. you and others out busting their hump to make repairs and this, and other “Slugs”, like him think they rule the world.
Bottom line is BAD road conditions, means greater driving skills needed! If a person doesn’t have the necessary driving skills call Uber.
The Girly-man wants to help, go home(safe space) and call the Police!

If retired , Thank you and enjoy it!
I wouldn’t expect Comcast to pay for my tires. Looks like some lawyers are going to get some billing time over this one...
“You just accept that it is possible you may hit a deer, which we didn’t.”
Sometime in the mid 80’s I was driving from Vancouver to NYC and entered ND around midnight. It was a VERY cold January and I hadn’t slept since I’d left the west coast. It seemed that a deer would cross in front of me about every 5 minutes or so! Their carcasses were everywhere, littering the sides of the highway, and occasionally even the traffic lanes. There were numerous empty cars pulled off onto the shoulder awaiting tows, all with smashed up front ends and/or busted windshields. I’m certain I saw more deer that night driving through ND than in all my other highway miles combined. It was so cold that the northern lights were giving a bizarre display. Between the intense cold, the sleep deprivation, too much coffee, the eerie, swirling, glowing sky, and playing dodge-the-deer on ice, it was the most surreal driving experience I’ve ever had. My nerves were absolutely trashed by the time the sun started coming up, not yet having learned (as you had) to just “accept the possibility” of hitting a deer.
“For years we heard the slogan, “Watch the Other Guy!” in regards to traffic safety. It was a good message...”
Exactly. It really needs to be emphasized in all driver’s ed classes. It’s especially important on a motorcycle.
Heh! Our grandchildren are in Chicago. I’ve heard that one. :-)
It kinda ticks off my wife when I tell her we will not be going to Chigago if there is even a hint of snow in the forecast. December through February are pretty much out.
Last year we went there at a time when it wasn’t supposed to snow. We went in my Scion FR-S with pseudo-Autocross tires on it. It snowed. We made it back, but it was hair raising. That car should never, EVER touch snow, and I knew it before I bought it - rear wheel drive with positraction. The hardest part was actually just south of Indianapolis on I-65. The weird part was I was getting through where cars with front wheel drive were upside down in the ditch.
I done cut the cable . . . Ahma free agent.
But it could be a moving van . . . same deal. Folks need to drive like they want to ‘arrive alive’ to borrow another famous slogan.
Is ‘bert’ any relation to “A+bert”?
I have found Comcast installers and line people to be very nice and trained well.
These are not the office workers who are usually rude.
Most of the time I hate Comcast though.
The only folks that profit when it snows and gets icy are tow-truck drivers, unless the drivers have AAA - and then the two-truck drivers get the shaft.
In my area a lot of companies are refusing to contract with AAA because of the problems they have getting paid.
That was fun to read. :-)
Since my wife and I moved to KY, we’ve hit two deer and one hit us (ran into the side of the car). I just accept them as a risk. I never saw a deer on that particular trip, however.
I HATE deer. They are so incredibly stupid.
Coming back from a gig a few springs ago at midnight, over a distance of 80 miles I passed 37 deer, all in groups of one to four. Never hit any, though.
A few weeks ago in my FR-S, I came around a corner at 60 mph and there were two deer just standing in the road. One in the edge of my lane and one in the other lane. I literally threaded the needle between them. Fortunately they did not move. I missed them both by about a foot.
It HAD to scare the crap out of them. If I hit a deer in that car it would be like hitting a moose in a “normal” car. I don’t want to experience it.
Seriously, you see how many accidents happen in the 10 minutes or whatever this film is... Comcast workers are being morons...
Crest of the hill makes them literally invisible... it is pointed out, and they still deny anything... These folks are idiots... Damned Union mentality or something... I did what I had to do... eff if other folks are getting hurt.
Purely preventable and they didn’t give a damn.
I know a few lawyers who will likely be licking their chops for a big payday out of Comcast..... all caught on film.
Those guys do dangerous work, especially this time of year. They earn every penny. They are right up there with the UT workers..
why is people driving too fast for conditions the fault of comcast? and if comcast’s vehicle parked is causing a problem, isn’t this loudmouth’s vehicle doing the same?
had he shut up and let the guys work. they would have been finished and gone
Yes, sadly the lawyers will get lots of billable hours out of this.
They will get even more when some of these guys try to fight their tickets for reckless driving.
Where I am it was slicker than snot out on the roads today so I have some sympathy for the guys that crashed. But only some. They were flat out going too fast for the road conditions.
Hopefully no one got hurt.
I hear you. Those guys should at least have some common sense and understand what was going on around them. The dude driving was an ass.
Like I said before, I've driven Michigan roads in the winter for the past 50 years and every winter snow event results in idiots driving too fast for the road conditions and ending up in the ditch........
Stay safe out there. Here is an update to the story
