A guy wearing a hi-viz vest and hardhat just came walking by and smacked the living shit out of a utility pole across the street, a few dozen times from the base up to over his head height.
He then kept walking down the line and did it to the next pole...
Normally I'd think, maybe they're checking the poles for rot, but.... it's a brand new pole that was installed about a year ago.
So I have to ask, WTF!?
