Freakout

Today, I was home alone, and I thought I heard someone breaking in through the side gate at my house. I was terrified, so I called the police. It turned out it was the gas company checking the meter. FML

That's when you grab the twelve gauge. Well, at least, I do.

aren't they supposed to let you know they're there anyway??

I don't think they're allowed to enter your property like that without notifying you first

Depends on where the metre is. My neighbour has one that's located on the side of the house but the previous owner built a fence in front of it. So the fence has to be accessible for the gas company people, which sucks because that means others could potentially walk through it also. Thankfully, the neighbourhood isn't in the dodgy part of town.
