    Guys working on a cell phone tower that hung over a parking lot dropped something on me. Luckily no one was hurt and no body damage but it looks like I was shot at, real loud crack when it happened. I was sitting there parked. Pretty sure that's not common!

    I'm pretty understanding I think but I'm an electrician and preventable safety stuff I have little to no tolerance for. I gave them an ear full for possibly having killed me or someone if it was my skull instead of my windshield being there. No cones, nothing.

    I'm glad you weren't injured and no other damage happened. Hopefully they fully compensated you for your troubles.

    That’s pretty shitty. I’m no pro, but it also strikes me as a pretty dangerous amateur-level lack of safety in that operation. I’d be pissed too!

    Hopefully they had some sense of regret realizing what could have happened.
