Things you don’t want to hear an electrician say

1) “I don’t care where that wire is connected to, it’s red so it goes there ok?”
2) “Cool, do that again!”
3) “Hey, did you shut the breaker on this circuit?” [screw driver shoved in small opening with thick wires sticking out]
4) “Ok, if I hook this up to the gas line like this...”
5) “Hold this, I’ll be right back.”
6) “Hmm, my first time working with a 2-phase circuit like this…”
7) “Nice!  Did you see the guy down the street when I flipped that switch?”
8) “Ok, that line comes from the mains and connects to the backup, so where do I connect the meter?”
9) “Crap!  We have to do another trip at Canadien Tire, call the fire department too”
10) “Cool, the blue wire is connected to the red one, never saw this before, let’s see what it does”
11) “ You connected WHAT to the 250Volt line?”
12) “Do you smell what I smell?”
13) “Quick!  Turn it off!”
14) “Ok, this house is costing me allot in fuses”
15) “What ballast?  I just connect the neon tubes directly!”
16) “Is it suppose to turn red?”
17) “Why is this motor using 5256 amps when it’s rated for 2?”
18) “WHAT?  You’re only using 60Hz?  How?  Let me fix that for you.”
19) “Shibby!  Do it longer this time!”
20) “Why is there a crack in this lead acid battery?”
