Six minutes for an oil change, and the other two they're electricians!

All I did was stop to get the oil changed, walked around the building while on the phone, and then I saw this.
After taking the picture the owner of the building asked why I took a picture of his building.
I told him that this was an NEC violation.
He looked at me like I had 2 heads.
True story.

In his head, he's thinking, "Geez, this thing has been working just fine for the past 12 years now. No one's been electrocuted. My building still stands. Why is this simple electrician taking a picture of something that's prefectly fine?!?!"

This is a good place for birds to perch, while taking a break from the rain. Also, it's hard to tell from the photos, but is it low enough for kids to swing on?

Of course he looked at you like you had two heads. He's not an electrician, he runs an oil change shop. I'm sure with my computer experience, I could find security holes in your office network that you had no idea existed. I'm quite sure it would not comply to all of the standards that make it easier to maintain and keep it secure.
Now you keep getting those cheap oil changes or go to Jiffy Lube and pay 3 times as much.

No, if he's out getting his truck worked on, he's not spending enough time on forums. 
Unless he has wireless on his laptop.......

Fortunately, no, this is up there about twenty feet.
