A lineman just hung a square orange flag on the line right near the utility pole in front of my house. Can someone tell me what that means, good or bad? That’s all he did. Then he took a picture of it from above and left.

They are identifying Democratic houses so they can skip them …

That’s to let the next linemen in the area know a homosexual lives there.

It means they checked your internet history and put the marker up to have the police come pick you up.

I saw one that said “ground” on the flag. Electricity people should know what that means.

Saw them put one on the line of a nearby pole that was leaning badly. They have since fixed the pole and the flag is gone.

The flag is likely attached to a "ground" which connects all three phases to each other and the neutral so that lineman and tree cutters can say work on the lines

It means your wife is willing to have sex in exchange for electricity.

Grounding straps. It bleeds any static voltage down and insures if somehow the lines get reenenergized, the circuits will trip and not kill the guy working on the lines.
