Just a few random thoughts from interactions I've had with people on tonight's night shift:

1) Why is it that fat people complain the loudest about having to walk an extra 50 to 100 feet to an alternate exit or around a barricade? Hey chubby, the exercise will do you good!

2) What part of please don't walk there do you not comprehend?

3) Which part of my safety precautions did you not see? Was it the flashing lights on the vehicle? Was it the men in fluorescent safety vests? Was it the caution tape? Was it the safety cones? Time for a visit to the optometrist!!!!

4) Yeah I heard your comment to your friends about how much money you could make if you "slipped and fell" on this wet concrete. By the way it's not "wet" ... that 120 dB roar you hear is my recovery system.... No standing water here!

5) I hate gum spitters.... Wait this is making me money, Maybe on the other hand I do like Gum spitters. Nah... Can't stand them.
 
Man I don't miss the night life...lol

Here's somthing funny. I always park my truck on the side of the road and i set the cones up like most of you do. Anyways, I was in the back of the house washing a deck for a customer. When i was done i come back to the front and i notice my cones are gone all 4 of them. I look around and cant find them, Then out of know where here comes four kids playing tag with my cones on there heads LOL.

Two weeks after that i was washing a house using the house water, and My washer started acting like i was running out of water so i stoped went to the front and shut it down to find out what was going on. Come to find out here is a small boy about 7 years old, He had turned off the water. I told him hey buddy i need that on. He tells me, "My dad is going to be mad that your playing in the water, He will spank you" LOL.

Lot's of great stories from the night shift. We should make up a pamphlet on how to deal with the people of the night...lol
 
Had some flatwork coned off and tape was up. Had chems dwelling infront of all the ATM machines. Guy pulls up in shorts and no shoes. Was insisting to go to the ATM. Gave me one of those.."ohh...can I walk on this?" type of looks. I stood there for a moment just to see what he would do but he kept trying to figure out a way to get to the ATM machines without stepping in the chems. Finally he asked me if he could walk on it. I said, sure but I am not going to be held responsible when you go to the hospital. He asked, what do you mean? I told him that last jerk that walked on the chemicals had to have both his feet amputated due to the severity of the chemical burns :rolleyes:. I continued to explain to him that the area is coned off properly and cautioned tape so that people do not walk in this area. I explained that he could proceed to the ATM but that he would end up in the hospital :)

As he walked away he said "okay bro...I am going to find another ATM"
 
Chris had a small guy come up and ask if he had any money to spare.

Chris told him "Sorry, I don't".

Guy comes back a few minutes later with another guy.

"You got any money?" Small guy asks.

"I told you I don't" Chris replies.

Big guy says "I think you better check".

Chris pulls his coat back to reach for his wallet exposing the 45 on his hip.

The guys back up quick saying "We don't want any problems" and turn and run.

When he keeps it out where they can see it in the summer nobody ever comes up to him like that.
 
Worst cussing I ever gave someone was When a homeless guy called me over to ask for money. I was cleaning a park shelter and he was sitting at an adjacent one and kept waving at me. After about 10 minutes he started screaming at me calling me over. Had my guy turn off the machine and went over to check on him (Thought maybe a pebble had accidentally slung in his direction or something). He proceeds to ask me for money. I explained to him very uneloquently that proper begging procedures involved him coming up to me, not making me quit working to ask me for something. Said he was a pretty sorry bum if he was too lazy to stand up and beg.
 
The worst ever is working around the County jail around midnight. Every single person that is getting released comes up to you asking for money because the county kept all of theirs. Talk about annoying...
 
As soon as I started the generator and the work lights came on, they would appear out of thin air like zombies.
 
I have seen some serious interesting things in parking garages late at night. I really think I am too young for what I was seeing.
