man...what an eventful day at work. All started when some powerline fell on the freeway this morning shutting it down so half the crew couldn't get to work. So I had to fill in for an installer.
We're driving down the freeway to the job site, it's sprinkling, stop and go, and then dead stop. We almost hit the car infront of us and then we get hit from behind. Us = 3 ton chevy 3500, not a scratch...other guy = honda civic, totaled. Turned out it was his g/f car... I felt bad for him.
Later in the day, when we're changing out some lettering on a 4x8 sign advertising some new comunities, this guy comes up and starts hassleing us. Saying hes from the department of regulations and we had better be taking down all these signs. We say 'no, we're just changing out some text.'
'well' he says 'all these signs are illigaly placed and they all need to come down. now you have 2 options, take them down or I can call the police'
first of all... we don't have the tools to take them down, second of all... we put them up.. we know the code.. its 10 feet away from the road on public land.
We're finaly like 'look, you want a buisness card? I'll even write the bosses name on it.'
then it dawns on me that this guy hasn't shown me any ID. The guy just spoke with such balls and athority that I didn't think to ask for it untill then.
so I ask 'can I see some proof that you;re from the department of regulations?'
he says 'I don't have any, I'm a volunteer..... so can I get that buisness card?'
I say "No' and we go about our shit.. he takes a picture of our truck and leaves. fucking asshole
