"What are those things called?"
~9/25/14: I can't put a number on how many times I've heard people's random guesses on what they think power lines are called. I've had people ask me before "What are those things that you like called? Those poles....uh lines....those towers and thingys. You draw them???". "Or what those strings and...electrical things". "You like those....road thingys or stuff right??" Truth to be told, I love hearing the guesses since its quite funny. This just came to mind and I was wondering about how many of us line geeks run into those questions.

To many times... It actually use to frustrate me a lot when use to call them thingys, telephone poles, and phone poles cause that's not what they are. Now I also find it funny that people ask me these questions.

Yeah it did use to frustrate me when people got them mixed up with telephone poles. I sometimes try to explain the types of equipment on poles (transformers, fuses, etc.) and people tend to give me that "What are you talking about???" face. Haha.

When I was a kid I was bullied and teased at school for drawing power lines in class.

They were just hatin. People aren't like that at my school, people always be asking me to draw them cities, power lines, and other stuff for them. Everyone in school thinks its cool.
