caller.. Then just let me borrow the metal detector, can you bring it over?
O. No, its in the truck, not sure where the crew is right now.
Call. Well go find it and bring it here. don't you know where your crew works? I've got my survey right here.
O Did we do that project?
C. No, it was (main competitor) name .
O. You should call them, it will be cheaper and they should be able to help.
C.. Click.
Damn, this guy was a special kind of A-hole. got all ticked at US because we wouldn't lend him our equipment!! Made a note of the address so when he calls for an actual survey, he gets a special price!
That sounds like a good prank. ....are you sure it wasn't a friend of yours?
we have an old clunky detector to lend. it sometimes screams for no reason...
About the time the jerk said "Well go find it and bring it here." I would have told him in no uncertain terms what I thought of people trying to order me around. It doesn't work for my wife, and I love her.;-)

Are you talking about a surveyor or a tool....? 😉
lol
:good:
What you should have done is told him to come pick it up.
And when he showed up hand him 2 wire coat hangers and tell him good luck finding his pins.[sarcasm]:-O 😀 😉 🙂 [/sarcasm]:-D
> Are you talking about a surveyor or a tool....?
In some instances the answer to that question could be "Yes."
Why not just let him drive away in your truck with all of your equipment inside. Sheesh!

What: without one of your surveyors along to run one of those those survey instrument thingies?

I think we have to remember that this guy has probably been successful with interpersonal tactics of this sort. If not he would not continue to use them. But I don't suppose he has a lot of close friends.
