I just got a job doing utility locating. After having a job at O'Reilly Auto Parts, then in Walmart unloading trucks, this job is just plain awesome.
My partner and I got yelled at by an old guy for parking on his lawn. It was covered in snow and we thought we were still on the road. We were only about 4 inches into his yard, and we weren't within what he apparently used to mark his lawn (buckets with bare fence posts sticking out of them).
After telling my boss, she said "When something like that happens, just give them my number because you guys don't get paid enough to take that. Say 'Here's my boss' number, she would love to hear your concern' and I will politely tell them to eat a dick."
FWIW, I wasn't a dick to the guy. When he approached us later, he started saying "Where do you guys live? Do you want me to park on your lawn?" I just told him that we didn't realize it was his lawn, and that I apologize.
