Honestly, the number of guys I see not checking for buried lines before they dig a post hole is wild.
Tbh, a crew down the street hit a fiber optic line last month and the whole block lost internet for a day. How do you even start a job without calling 811 first? Anyone else have a local utility story that makes you cringe?

My neighbor cut his own power line last summer.

Wait, how does that even happen? Did he think he could fix it himself or was it a total accident? Cutting a live power line is insanely dangerous, like house-fire or worse dangerous. I need the full story because that sounds like a legendary bad decision.

Cutting a live power line is insanely dangerous" is probably the understatement of the year. I read somewhere that even pros use rubber gloves and testers before touching anything. @kai602 sounds like your neighbor read a YouTube tutorial and thought "how hard can it be." Hope he's okay and didn't take the whole block with him.
