My second week into this gig and I shut down the parking lot and entrances. Pissed a bunch of 20 somethings off.
Got tired of it. The owner told them we would wait till 8am to start so as not to make them move out too early. All our equipment, trucks, trailer, owners trailer and skid steer, our mini, chipper, rented lift. Pounding trees out. Owner adds more then askes for approx finish date. He's about added two trees a day here this week.
Then the parking issues. Tenants were told cars out to alternative parking by 8. Ha! I knock and no answer. I was being ignored.3 people in that one apartment and cant answer the door. One dudes girl friend kept moving her truck each day, but always in the middle of a turn about blocking most of it. So today, cars were out and the one good tenent as well, parked were he was supposed to. Now, this back parking is also a through way. So the idiots came back, blocked my other egress because they parked like idiots since there is plenty of room. Then they screwed themselves by bringing friends. They tried to get the GF to move her truck in so they could bring in 3 more into the parking area vloser to the units. I went over to my signs in front of them. I yelled, "Aint none of you crossing these cones! Stay out of the parking area as you were told.!" Then her BF comes out, usless fug I know through Seth and was just let go from his job from his also land lord cause he is ...... usless. He starts up with some dude in the alt parking. Gets on yhe phone glaring at me. Dude in the alt parking is mad cause he cant park closer and leaves. Nothrr dude pokes his head out window and him and usless are conferring. Next, I guess usless calls the sherriff. Sherriffs talk to him and they can see we are trying to clear trees Ive dumped in the parking lot and driveways. I have everything signed. They never came to talk to me. Just smile, wave and take off.
So usless finally gets in his car and scoots off.
I see the wifey owner next door playing with he kids and gave her a heads up. She asks, "usless again". I says 'yup'.
She smiles. Says it's looking great and thanks for working so hard in the heat. Ha!
Some days, ya just have to chuckle.
