You may not know it, but if you are working on or around an intersection, apparently there is an invisible 'INFORMATION' lettering that gets emblazoned on your safety vest, that only you cannot see.Keith B wrote:I have had people approach me because they needed information and I looked like the safest person to ask, even above the clerks in the convenience store.
Everyone else in the city apparently CAN see it, however, and will proceed to ask you where everything is.
The bums also tend to hassle you too, but I have a complete script for them ready. It goes something like this:
Bum: "Excuse me sir, I was wondering..."
Me: "Stop. Look at me. Look at what I do. I work on traffic signals, downtown. Do you think you're the first today? Do you think you'll be the last? Please turn around, and leave me to my business. Thank you"
Most of them just stare with an open mouth for a second... then turn around and leave.
