After I finished a job today I pulled away and realized I hadn’t drained my buffer tank, so I went around the corner and found an area near where there are drainage canals right next to the road. While I’m draining the tank I start getting yelled at from a person standing on his porch, rudely asking me what I’m dumping. I told him it’s water and he’s says that’s illegal. I said “how so?” to which he replied that I was on his property. I pointed out that I wasn’t on his property, I was on the county right of way and that I am a county resident and I too pay county taxes.
He starts cussing at me and threatens me and I responded with well, “bring it on” or something like that. Then the across the street neighbor comes over and tells me that there’s been flooding problems and I might be in trouble, lol. I said “you think 200 gallons of water is going to flood the neighborhood?” By then mister hot hot head went back inside (to call the Sheriff I presume) and I talked with the other guy for a few minutes while the tank finished draining. So, as I’m leaving the old lady neighbor casually walks by and snaps a photo of my truck plate. Oh brother! And all this after a grueling 10 hour day in the 105°f heat.
