So I'm striping a Parking lot today, I've got the 1st row of it taped off with cones, and cuation tape. Well this crown vic pulls up, and a guy in a suit, gets out, tears my tape, and parks. Now there is about 25 free parking places, I'm just restriping the ones up from a ADA complaince walk thru I did...
" Sir, you can't park there" " I just did" And he went into eat.
Wrong thing to say to some one striping lines in 105 degree temps in the shade( about 135 on the black top)
So I called up the towing company, the property owner( more on her later) and had it towed( I love that local law)... Anyways about 15 mins later, the guy comes out, asks where his car is, I point to the sign, and say call the number of the towing company and the local PD number.... " I'm under sheriff...." ( the county thats right next door to where I working) he flashs his bagde, and says he is going to have me arrested for having his car towed. Rright about then, the property owner shows up. " What did you just say to my client?" Now the propery owner in this case, also happens to be my lawyer. Lets just say, after calling his legal deptment the undersherrif stomped off pissed and was picked up by a cab.
I'm sure this is going to come back and bight me some how, but it was worth it.
