I have worked construction most of my life with much of it in Florida.
Working on a shell building and constructing a six-foot soffit that demanded it is plumb, level, and square. I was the superintendent with 15 to 18 temporary carpenters. Much of my supervision necessitated me to watch from the ground and directing my carpenters to problem areas.
The construction site had an eight-foot fence surrounding the job site. Next door was a popular breakfast/lunch restaurant. Some idiot was tossing trash out his window into the parking lot. I called him an asshole but I couldn’t reach him due to the fence. He flipped me the bird and emptied his ashtray along with a few other items. Man, I can’t stand ignorant people.
Suddenly, the guy puts his vehicle in park, opens his door, and begins to gather up his trash. I couldn’t understand what made him repent until I peeked around the corner…a police car with an officer pointing at the trash he missed!
After he retrieved his trash and drove away, the policeman gave me a thumbs-up before parking for breakfast.
