We are staying at my parents house while in Atlanta for my friends memorial. While walking into the garage, I noticed the cover off the meter can, which is behind a large bush. The cover was on the ground.

I asked my mom (88 y/o) about the cover and she said Georgia Power replaced the meter in January.

I called Georgia Power and told the rep the story. He said they replaced the meter with a self reporting meter and the cover was replaced. I asked how the plastic lock fell off and then the cover fell off? I said Georgia Power replaced the meter without us asking, the cover is on the ground, with 220 volts exposed and it's our fault? The rep had no answer but said we needed to call an electrician.

He wouldn't budge. I asked for a supervisor and was put on hold. The rep came back 10 minutes later and said none were available. I said I'd hold but, he said that was not an option, as other calls needed answering.

I asked for his name and he said Jason. I asked for a last name and he said they don't give it out for security reasons, as there are unstable people out there. That pissed me off. We went round and round until he hung up.

My wife called and the woman at Georgia Power agreed it was a dangerous situation. Guys are on the way to fix it she said. We'll see what happens.

Amazing the difference between reps.
