True story: Cable company sent 1 company to digg a ditch in my parents front yard for the cable. Then the 2nd company lets us know that their worker is sick and can't place the cable. Then a 3rd company comes to fill the ditch. They all spoke Turkish. My dad almost had a heart attack. Worker let me use his phone so his friend could translate. Spoke to some guy in English, who spoke to some other guy in German, who spoke to our guy in Turkish. He said if he didn't fill it, we would have to pay for someone to fill it. So my dad wanted the ditch closed. I convinced him not to have it closed. As it would have resulted in us having to pay for digging AND filling afterwards. Clusterfuck.
