PSA: Watch out for loose drop lines near old oak trees

I was out on a job over on Maple Street last week and saw a cable line just hanging down from a big oak tree branch. The weight of the line was actually starting to pull the branch down, and I bet a good wind would snap it right off onto a house. Have any of you run into problems with trees causing issues with aerial drops like that?

Tripped over one of those last year while trying to take a selfie with the leaves... faceplanted right into a pile of acorns. Not my finest moment.

Are you sure it's not just an old phone line nobody's bothered to take down yet?
