I was excavating contaminated soil on a property just off an alley in Westchester, near LAX. We coned off a block of the alley so my backhoe and dumptruck could work. This asshole Brinks guy in an armored truck runs over the cones and starts honking at my dumptruck, which is blocking the alley as I'm loading out soil with the backhoe. (I'm not operating the equipment, but directing the show.) My dumptruck driver says "What should I do." I say "Tell him to get 
ed," which he did. The brinks guy gets out of his armored truck and puts his hand on his holster. My backhoe operator (this was his idea, I can't take credit for it) drives up to the armored truck with a full load of soil, lifts it up directly over the armored truck, and hollers "How would you and all that ing money like to be buried under five tons of contaminated soil, asshole?" The Brinks guy backed up and hauled ass. Life is so much easier when you know you're right.
