Invasion of Personal Space

I’ve been involved with construction work enough to know there is no way the people who do it can avoid getting in your personal space. Still, I was quite shocked when I returned from a day in Whistler to find an electrical cord had been plugged into the front of my timeshare.

They were doing extensive renovations throughout the timeshare. I saw much of it while hiking around the area or from the parking lot. But I had assumed they were plugging in to unoccupied units.

Although I didn’t see anyone on the porch, the cord remained there, dangling for days. A time or two I was sorely tempted to unplug it just to see what would happen. I feel so virtuous for leaving it alone.

Now I’m in the opposite shoes as I do extensive repairs on my rental house. There’s just no way of doing it without getting in someone’s way.
