There, their, they're ...
In this case I should have done more. We have a newer aluminum body truck, so our old magnets don't work. We haven't had vinyls made for it yet. I don't have a company shirt, and vests aren't common in my area. Those are all just excuses though. I've been meaning to get a vest, and I'll discuss shirts/ truck signage with the decision makers.
I did identify myself, and left a door hanger with our info.
Your statistic reminded me of another, "Half the population is below the average intelligence."
A dummy with a weapon, especially if feeling territorial, is not someone I want to stay around. Thanks for the tips!
I can tell you one way NOT to handle it.?ÿ We were staking the back property corners of a subdivision (true lining) when we hit about 3 inches into a +/- 10 inch pine.?ÿ The crew chief took his bush axe and began to cut a notch into the side so we could see by it.?ÿ The vast majority of the tree was on "our" side of the line so the notch was visible to the adjoiner.?ÿ The "lady" of the house came out and began ranting, raving and calling him names that would make a sailor blush.?ÿ After several attempts to calm the lady and her constant demands that he "fix" the notch he said okay.?ÿ It took a couple of dozen swings but the tree fell on "our" side.?ÿ Needless to say she was NOT a happy camper.?ÿ I did buy the crew chief a beer though for having the intestinal fortitude to do it.?ÿ The boss sent a different crew?ÿ out to finish that job.

That reminds me of a situation about 25 years ago in East Cobb we were cutting out the line for a traverse along the back line of a subdivision. The crew chief was working under encountered one of those elephant ear plants and it was well on our side so he cut it down. No sooner had the thing fell to the ground than the old woman came bounding out of the house screaming because he cut her plant down and in one of those perfect deadpan voices he said "you don't have to worry about that anymore".
That crew chief went on and got licensed and he became a good friend of mine. I recently learned that he fell on very hard times and lost his wife and family and hurt his back and painkillers didn't help and he took his own life.
You may have known him but I will not give his name here. Sad.
