No, it’s not bad, silly. I’m just referring to a very dated refrain from a cesspit website. That particular comment ‘meme’ was everywhere on the Internet for anything even remotely suspicious.
it’s not unheard of. i had an outlet that wasn’t on my own electrical service. when they replaced the fuseboxes in the back with breaker boxes they double-checked what circuits went to which units and it got ‘fixed’. the fridge was running on that outlet when i moved in.
Switching neutral with live generally won’t cause any issues. Switching neutral with ground is much worse but most likely would go without major issues. Switching ground and live would make things just not work at best, and become a huge fire and/or electrocution hazard at worst.
I’m 99% sure neither the original post or the one you are responding to are talking about crossed wires inside an outlet. They’re talking about an entire outlet/switch/etc. being on the electrical service for a neighboring unit.
So someone is paying for the usage of a neighbor. And if power is shut off for non-payment, they move out, etc. then one of the outlets will seemingly randomly stop working because it’s on a different electrical service.
Yup that’s a service panel serving one or more units in a neighboring unit. Electrical plus ripping up drywall to run a new wire from the correct panel.
Depending on the run this is probably about right.
It’s not saying it’s real but I can envision a world where it’s at least conceivable.
They’re not saying it should take 21 days of labour, just that they have 21 days to be compliant.
And the runs between units might indicate other issues like insufficient panel sizes, or long runs of wall that are expected to get cut up and are expected to be repaired properly. Maybe permits and subsequent electrical inspections. They might even pad all their estimates too.
And then everybody clapped. “Wires are crossed. $6,500. 21 days to fix.” Am I playing pretend with my nephew?
You could save yourself some letters by reciting the old 4chan mantra:
fake and gay
Haha being gay is bad you are very funny

That image is certainly one of those things
I don’t see the gay side of this one, yet. Was the city inspector really hot or something?

It’s high, but not impossibly high.
