I cut my own phone cable
Yep! I came home hot & tired, had 4 bushes and 3 trees that really needed to go into the ground. I knew within a foot or two of where the cable was but got into a rush and just didn't think about it, the spade went right through it.
I guess that I get the dumb A of the week award.

Ah, memories. I recall, after OneDig flagged everything, one real bad day a few years ago... our backhoe went through an unmarked gas main and connected lateral. Had to run like hell and evacuate the neighborhood. That was a long scary day.

Years ago I was working for an excavating company that always had the contract to dig the ditches where underground electrical had failed. Two of us were hand digging where Blue Stake had marked for a water line when we heard...... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. This was very loud and feaked us out. It wasn't us it was the b-hoe operator. He had hit a live underground electric line. The crazy thing was we where a block away when it we heard it. Luckily the operator was ok. Blue Stake mis-marked for the electric.

Not personally related. I worked for a large municipality south of here for almost 7 yrs. We hit everything. BIG stuff too. Often multiple times! I left because I couldn't stand the moronic mindset of government.
