I've had a few bosses that I'd thought about doing something along these lines.

Thanked: 884Our brand new boss is smart enough to know not to leave his junk around where we operate our equipment.
He stepped on a lot of toes and pulled a lot of vacuum to get where he is.

I do have the advantage of knowing her likely reaction in s given situation.

Thanked: 1184Being an operator, I have done some things. This is not 1 of my tricks but things like this. No harm just a little inconvenient when it's time to go home.
We had 6 18" wide trenches opened across a street once and road closed signs detours the whole thing. I was last to come out of the barricades at lunch time and this big shot in a Mercedes wanted to pass. I told him he couldn't and he insisted I was an uneducated numbskull and almost ran over me going ahead. So, I stretched that 710 John Deere across the road hoping to find him when I got back from lunch. LOL don't know how he got past all the trenches but I bet that first trench he hit at about 40 mph made me a lot smarter :<0) I never did see the guy again but I know he will listen to road workers from now on no matter how dumb they look.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
