I thought the Neighbors actions were a bit odd, what would you have done? This guy reminded me of this lady here th-cam.com/video/fn5JhxuNb7U/w-d-xo.html
Yep the neighbor was being very odd, but when you find a gun, Never Ever pick it up with your hands! It looks like numbers were filed off so if it was used in a crime the one thing is the fingerprints, sometimes they can be on a surface for a while even under water. But since you both touched it a lot, well if there was any on, doubtful there would be any after being touched and handled. The neighbor could of stashed it there or someone was casing those houses. The mowing of the hedgerow, I am curious if the owner said to do that? Growing up on a farm, I was taught to leave that area by the fences alone, one so critters have a harder time getting through it, and also to protect small game for when they do go hunting and soil erosion, just saying. But you did a awesome job, at least now people can pull over if they need to for any reasons and less chance to hit deer feeding .
I would have had a pocket full of ear plugs, and handed him a pair. Then I would have told him to go pound salt, if he is going to be rude towards the fantastic work that you do to help others. I hope you have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️🚜🌲.
The neighbor was a bully! He threatened you. Yes he needs sleep and he needs to sleep durning the day. But that is why people buy and wear ear plugs when they work the night shift. He can not stop neighbor working around their yard durning day light hours. You were doing a job!
People that have to sleep during the day have to realize that most other people have to be up and about. My husband did it for 8 yrs and the neighbor always cut his lawn in the morning when my husband was trying to get to sleep. My husband wore earplugs and sometimes a eye mask. We had room darkening shades. The worst was a neighbor getting a new roof or having remodeling done. But he slept with the aid of melatonin and sheer tiredness.
Most county, city and town ordinances for quiet hours and such are during night time. Yeah you can't stop people from mowing their yard during the day. The neighbor threatening the cops on Erik is just despicable behavior. And I personally can sleep with a mower. I live in an apartment with thin walls. I doubt the dude in his house would be much disturbed.
1. It's 2 PM not 2 AM. Huge difference. 2. He had to drive to you so he can't be that close or he could have walked to you. 3. He works 3rd shift....expect daytime noises. Plus, it's not like you're out there every day. 4. He was threatening you. You should have called the cops on him. 5. Keep doing what you're doing.
Disrupting the lifestyles of 90% of people to meet the needs of one. It's the liberal mantra. He's probably a Democrat who thinks Joe Biden is doing a wonderful job as president.
@@angelahawke-intherocketcity If I were Mr. Sweetie-Pie that asked Erik how long he would be there and found he was doing this for free with all that expensive equipment, I would have said that's a nice thing to do and went to town and bought both ear plugs and big sound protective ear muffs.
Maybe the bully neighbor knows something about the shotgun. He seemed very aggressively aggravated. Those cars make more noise than you do. Keep helping others, your a blessed soul.
I'm so sick of entitled people who think the world revolves around them. But the good news here is that you've done a wonderful job cleaning this property, and it looks great. Bless you.
That guy needs to mind his business. You take 6 hours if you want. Let him call the cops. Hope they charge him with using them for stupid complaints. Great job
He was threatening him with like crooked cops cause what erik was doing wasn't breaking the law that guy needs to buy earplugs an go get focked saying I gotta sleep so I can make money well why should you be able to stop erik from making money that guy pissed me off
You were more civil and calm than I would've been. I would've listened to that guy for about 1 minute, then I would've jumped back on the tractor and continued what I was doing like he wasn't even there.
I agree people like that don't deserve a moment of your time, or a minute of your respect. Move on, these people will never be happy with anyone, because they aren't happy with themselves.
Good grief, I worked 20 years on night shift in a hospital . My husband disabled, at times with kids and family living with us. I just rolled my eyes and wanted to tell him to cry me a river. Life went on when I was sleeping. A fan worked great! Keep up doing your good work!

Agreed. Out of 22 years in the USAF, I spent 10 years on 3d shift. I found 20 to 24 inch pedestal shop fans provide enough pink noise to cover just about anything!
I worked 2nd or 3rd shift for over 30 years and if he hasn't figured out by now how to sleep with normal daily noise I pity his poor neighbors. If you work those hours you learn to sleep thru almost anything or you don't keep working nights. What a grouch. You are doing your job. Keep up the good work

I think Eric knows alot more people US what a sad man it's alright Eric we the world are watching 👀 mwha 😊 😍 from Maureen in New Zealand mwha stay safe and blessed 🙌 😇
I think we all know more people than that bitter man. He seems really bitter. The type that would call me a dumb millennial lol. I think the dude is just a lonely miserable person. Oh and I can sleep in an apartment during the day with mowers and leaf blowers. With thin walls. Dudes house is probably a half mile away.
There is always that one person no matter what is never happy and is always complaining. God bless you for everything you do, and keep up your good work.
I'm so glad you stood your ground and did the job you were supposed to do. As my son - who worked night shift and slept during the day says - he chose to work that shift so it's up to him to find a way to sleep during the day. Some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy. Keep up the loving work you do Eric!
That's me. My career has me working nights and weekends but life goes on. I sleep when I can, a couple of power naps and go to bed early, but I would never do what that mean old man did. I mean what kind of a turd does that?
You did an excellent job of keeping that confrontation from escalating but you had a perfect right to mow. Counties usually have the responsibility of clearing from the edge of the road through the drainage ditch. Past that is the landowner’s responsibility. Trying to get the mowing done in two hours was NOT necessary. Especially in the middle of the day. I don’t believe one thing that guy said. About the sleep, about his cop friends, none of it. Don’t listen to idiots, stand up for yourself, and do what you know is right. Don’t allow bullies to be rewarded for their bad behavior.
Saturday afternoon 2 O'clock. I was in Law Enforcement for 25 years ,,, My response was to the cranky neighbor , Your wasting your sleep time calling me. Mind your own business ( politely ) and If you have to work a third shift part timer job , improve your Resume . BTW be nice to your Neighbors ,,, You might need them some day. Dispatch show me 10-98 ADVICE GIVEN !
You definitely handled that better than I ever would. The dynamic of the conversation changed for me when that guy said "he thinks, well maybe not" after you said "nice mtg you". Making noise at 2pm in the afternoon is against the law or whatever he said you were violating? Come on dude. Really?!?! He should be thanking you for doing what you're doing. As a motorcyclists/motorist, I thank you! Its always nice to be able to see what wildlife may be coming from the side of the road. Keep up the good work.
That guy was COMPLETELY out of line! At 2pm on a Saturday you’re free to make whatever noise you want. I would have suggested ear plugs. I commend you on keeping your cool and standing your ground! 💯👊
There is nothing anyone can do to make you stop. 2:00 on a Saturday, most towns have an ordinance for noise that limits noise after 10:00 pm. Keep up the good work Eric.
There’s always one on every block. Self appointed mayor.He was a bully. I’m glad you stood your ground. I feel bad for the people that live at the house you were working on though
As someone who worked night shift for over 30 years, I understand his frustration BUT I also realize that some jobs must be done when the weather allows. He could invest in some earplugs! As for that being county land, the laws ay be different from where I live (Western Maryland) but the landowner abutting that land is responsible for its upkeep. So, if landowner asked you to clean it up, so be it. Wonderful job! Keep paying it forward in kindness!
When we saw people doing this kind of noisy work we stopped them too. To ask how much they’d charge to do our land!! 😂. That equipment you have is so cool 😎. Great work 👍
The audacity of that man to tell you you have two hours at 2 pm in the day. Then to tell you he’s gonna call the cops. Cops would tell him nothing they can do. It’s farm land, people have the right to run heavy machinery. I didn’t even see a house that close. Next time, maybe do as my dad always said, first offense is the best defense. Call the cops and report him for threatening and harassing you! Good job Erik!
It’s not that the guy is calling the cops he said he had a couple of buddies in high up positions and they could have the cops stop him. If you work the night shift you have to learn to sleep with ear plugs in a dark bedroom furthest from the road way. Other people do not have to stop living their lives because you have to sleep in the day time hours. You have quiet hours and normal hours but this looks like its out in the country so unless the sheriffs keep getting complaints late at night they wont do anything anyways. Does he expect mowers, combines, cows, horses, coyotes, dogs to all be quiet during the day? This guys is just being a A-1 A**hole. Keep up the good work!
What an absolute piece of work... I would have worked until the cops showed up and then showed them the video of this guy saying he has corrupt good old boy cop friends that shut you down. What a joke.
I'm a DOT foreman. Homeowners have the right to maintain their property all the way to the road. Only thing you can't do is disturb the ground ( change the original grade ) you can maintain your pipe and remove brush, debris and silt as needed to maintain drainage and cleanliness. Most row is 25 to 40 foot from center.
The owner own to the middle of the road. The county has an easement of 30 feet to do their work. Any changes of grade needs to be approved by the corp of engieneers.. Contrary to popular belief, The state does not own the ditches.. Its a good way to get sued and fired.
The distance from center of the road varies according to the road size, traffic and municipality plans for road expansion. My road used to have a 30' easement, now it's 40'. Oh well, they can mow the poison ivy in the ditches, tyvm.
Hi Erik. I've been watching your channel for a few months now and very much like what you do. This guy has nothing better to do than to bother you and be a jerk. How can you be making that much noise with your tractor/mulcher than the traffic on the road? This is on him, not you. You are doing a great thing by giving back to the community. I wish there was more like you here in Canada lol! You, lawn care juggernaut, sb mowing, blessing boys and a few others are unsung hero's of your community. Keep up the awesome work that you do.
He’s telling you he has police friends that will stop you from interrupting his sleep. Police inforce the law not his sleep schedule. Keep up the good work Intimidation isn’t going to work.
You're doing amazing work in the communities. The only question I have is, when you come across suspicious things; you touch everything and your first call is never to the police. Why? You never know if you contaminate the evidence or crime scene.
There is nothing wrong with what you are doing ! He needs to sleep to make a living while you're making your living providing outdoor services. I am a retired police officer and worked shifts, including the night shift, and I couldn't dream of approaching someone on a job site because I couldn't sleep. Suck it up, neighbor. Put in some foam earplugs. Seems like the more you try helping out, the neighbors are either jealous or ignorant about it. 2 pm on Saturday afternoon, lol! You're most certainly not breaking laws, whether criminal or bylaws. Looks great. Keep up the good work, my friend. Cheers
Eric, you amaze me in so many ways. This latest video brings your gentlemanly way of not blowing up at things others try to pull on you. Good job all around! 🤠
Well Mr. Wet Nappy Neighbor, it IS a noisy machine when it's working. Quite unlike yourself, who is whing like a toddler. The noise ordinance is set by the county and not up to dispute with those trying to complete work outdoors during those hours. If man-baby has an issue he should drive to the township hall and discuss the situation with them. My township says that "excessive noise shall not exceed 16 hours a day, seven days a week". Most people are nice and try to keep extra loud activities between the hours of 07:30 and 22:00 (or when darkness falls). You're a kind and helpful soul Erik!
I’m sorry you had to be confronted with the crazy neighbor. You’re just there to do a simple job. I really think there are too many crazies in this world. Some people just have to relax a little.
I can't believe the attitude of the neighbor. If he has an issue, he should take it up with the guy that hired you. Another fine job, Erik. Love your videos.
I worked 12 hr night shifts in several tiwn states in houses and in apartments.I was a critical care RN.Lawn mowers,leaf blowers house getting built beside me. Never did i go out and and confront or threaten them
The entitlement of so many people is sickening. “Everyone stop what you’re doing to accommodate ME”. Not one person is more important than anyone else.
@@Visionauts89 jail time might be a little extreme but maybe some good, old fashioned trash pickup on the side of the road could help with an attitude adjustment. 😊
@@1stDoNoHarm63 Fair point ofcourse. Some 'correction' will work for some people. But i'm sure the ones with certain personality types will not change unless there is some advantage to them. Now anyways I might be a bit to harsh on the subject, but respect and logical thinking is so rare these days.
Eric, this was a crazy one! A rude bully confronts you, and then the second day, you find a hidden sawed-off shotgun next to the fence! I wonder if the bully had any ties to that gun? Was he trying to scare you off to stay away from the gun? The ditch looks so much better after you mowed it all off!!! Good job! 😊
That neighbor threatened you. He needs the police to remind him to leave you alone. The police can even talk to the owners. Otherwise, he can shut the Frick up. God bless you Hugs ❤🤗
Erik, my❤️goes out to you. It's sad that there are individuals who are so angry, bitter & evil, all they wanna do is make the lives of others as miserable as they are. Be careful. I pray for you.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@thepoetthatwasi1722 Troll. I did not say that. Of course not. But evil WILL react to the thought of God. I found his REACTION interesting. That will mean nothing to you.
@AmandaSydneyAustralia Don't be silly. His reaction to the word was interesting. How on earth did you think I meant that anyone who does not celebrate Easter is evil? Your reaction is ridiculous and only DIVIDES humans with ugliness.
No Maam. Immediately call the POLiCE, Then the homeowners. That gun didn't get there by accident. He needs to NEVER touch a weapon he finds like that, tho. Let me reiterate. FIRST CALL:POLICE. Jeez. It's awful that that has to be said out loud. 🙄
I live in the city. I rest a lot during the day because of my heart. People cut grass, cut trees, reroof houses cant go out and tell people they cant work. Dogs bark during the night, cars racing, music playing at night. Live and let live. You do a great job. That guy is a very unhappy person. Dont worry about him. God bless you and your family.
Like everyone said, he didn't want that gun found. The way Erik was dressed, that man wouldn't have been able to tell if he worked for the country or not from the other side of the road. He looked for any excuse he could for Erik to stop. Now, question is, what crime did that man do with gun. Arrogant piece of work.
Great job, once again!! I can’t believe that so called neighbor that literally had to drive to where you were to bully you!! There’s no houses around where you’re at.. Glad you stood up to him. ❤
You have the patience of a Saint, Sir. Saturday. 2 pm. On another person’s land. Carl should get a noise machine and let the rest of the world live their lives.
Erik, you were hired for a job. I can understand the neighbor needs some sleep, but he is a bully. You aren't doing anything wrong. Love your videos. Have a good day.
If he works 3rd shift and it's 2:00pm why didn't he go home and go to bed as soon as he got off work?! I mean 2pm that's like 7 hours after shift!! I JUST LOVED how he threw around the cops will STOP you in 2 hrs...well my FRIENDS that ARE COPS WILL!!! I definitely would tell the cops about him,HE may just be the one who threw the gun out there with that anger he has!! Rude bully!!!!! I don't like people like that!! I'm glad you stood your ground with him!!
@lyndaferguson816 If that was true, he probably would have removed the gun during the night before day two though. He wouldn't have been stupid enough to NOT realize that Eric would come back to finish the job, would he? 🤔 Well actually, maybe... 😂
I have work night shift for many years. Your machine doesn't make that much noise. He could turn on a fan or TV to cover the noise up. Your doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work
The man that told you to be gone is implicated. He’s Prime suspect! His body language and his behavior is telling a story. He is definitely involved with that gun!
My dad worked 3rd shift and we lived on a main drag through the city. He used these magical things called ear plugs so he could sleep. Amazing how a two dollar purchase helped his sleep.
Part two: I was traveling in New Mexico at night. Lightning caused a fire along the highway just inside the fence line. I called 911 and got out the fire department! If the road way had been like this stretch I could not have traveled that night. This job is a matter of public safety! Good job Eric!

I know a couple of people, Smith & Wesson. Lol
Call the Police 😎😉🚨
I know Bob Jones.
I think Eric knows alot more people US what a sad man it's alright Eric we the world are watching 👀 mwha 😊 😍 from Maureen in New Zealand mwha stay safe and blessed 🙌 😇
I think we all know more people than that bitter man. He seems really bitter. The type that would call me a dumb millennial lol. I think the dude is just a lonely miserable person.
Oh and I can sleep in an apartment during the day with mowers and leaf blowers. With thin walls. Dudes house is probably a half mile away.
You do what you do, he has no right to tell you what to do on someone else’s property. Great job Erik 😊
i agree he can not tell him what to do sents the property does not belong to him he needs to mind his own business
I just love your massive “take no guff from any tree” mowing machine!
Good job.
"Have a nice Easter" made me laugh so much 😆😆😆
😂 did you 👀 him spas out 😳🥴🤣😂🤣
Your doing just fine. That man is wrong. Michigan would never stop you... Great job...
Why didn't you call the police first, and why did you two man handle the gun ?
The retired cop in me just cringed when farmer John picked the weapon up. Contaminating Evidence people. No touchie!
That was a miserable human being. Threatening and mean! God bless you!
It's funny how watching someone else work is so relaxing. Thanks Erik.
The number of people that are hateful blockers of people’s blessings is incredible. Keep doing you! ❤️
There is always that one person no matter what is never happy and is always complaining. God bless you for everything you do, and keep up your good work.
I'm so glad you stood your ground and did the job you were supposed to do. As my son - who worked night shift and slept during the day says - he chose to work that shift so it's up to him to find a way to sleep during the day. Some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy. Keep up the loving work you do Eric!
That's me. My career has me working nights and weekends but life goes on. I sleep when I can, a couple of power naps and go to bed early, but I would never do what that mean old man did. I mean what kind of a turd does that?
Exactly, now some can choose to cater to him and his shift work, but absolutely no one is required to!
@dianetemple4243 I laughed at "Some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy."
Well put 👏💯🤙🫡
That dude is a total Karen.
You did an excellent job of keeping that confrontation from escalating but you had a perfect right to mow. Counties usually have the responsibility of clearing from the edge of the road through the drainage ditch. Past that is the landowner’s responsibility. Trying to get the mowing done in two hours was NOT necessary. Especially in the middle of the day. I don’t believe one thing that guy said. About the sleep, about his cop friends, none of it. Don’t listen to idiots, stand up for yourself, and do what you know is right. Don’t allow bullies to be rewarded for their bad behavior.
Saturday afternoon 2 O'clock. I was in Law Enforcement for 25 years ,,, My response was to the cranky neighbor , Your wasting your sleep time calling me. Mind your own business ( politely ) and If you have to work a third shift part timer job , improve your Resume . BTW be nice to your Neighbors ,,, You might need them some day. Dispatch show me 10-98 ADVICE GIVEN !
If we had more ppl like you, this world would be a better place ! Hats off
You definitely handled that better than I ever would. The dynamic of the conversation changed for me when that guy said "he thinks, well maybe not" after you said "nice mtg you". Making noise at 2pm in the afternoon is against the law or whatever he said you were violating? Come on dude. Really?!?!
He should be thanking you for doing what you're doing. As a motorcyclists/motorist, I thank you! Its always nice to be able to see what wildlife may be coming from the side of the road. Keep up the good work.
That guy was COMPLETELY out of line! At 2pm on a Saturday you’re free to make whatever noise you want. I would have suggested ear plugs. I commend you on keeping your cool and standing your ground! 💯👊
I absolutely love that you stood your ground! He should just put in some earplugs,and not threaten you with the cops! Keep doing what you do ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely pity anyone who lives by or works with that guy. What a creep.
There is nothing anyone can do to make you stop. 2:00 on a Saturday, most towns have an ordinance for noise that limits noise after 10:00 pm. Keep up the good work Eric.
If I was doing this kind of work and a neighbor confronted me, I'd tell them who to take issue with because I'm doing what the OWNER told me to do.
I'd just tell them to eff off. The world doesn't stop for anyone
There’s always one on every block. Self appointed mayor.He was a bully. I’m glad you stood your ground. I feel bad for the people that live at the house you were working on though
Your skill with that heavy machinery is amazing.
As someone who worked night shift for over 30 years, I understand his frustration BUT I also realize that some jobs must be done when the weather allows. He could invest in some earplugs! As for that being county land, the laws ay be different from where I live (Western Maryland) but the landowner abutting that land is responsible for its upkeep. So, if landowner asked you to clean it up, so be it. Wonderful job! Keep paying it forward in kindness!
County wouldn't care less for them to do. He is just a jerk
You'd be hard-pressed to find a county that's willing to stop a citizen doing free maintenance work for them! 😂
@@LRM12o8 Exactly.
When we saw people doing this kind of noisy work we stopped them too. To ask how much they’d charge to do our land!! 😂. That equipment you have is so cool 😎. Great work 👍
Agreed, I want one for my tractor and the farm now too.😁
The audacity of that man to tell you you have two hours at 2 pm in the day. Then to tell you he’s gonna call the cops. Cops would tell him nothing they can do. It’s farm land, people have the right to run heavy machinery. I didn’t even see a house that close. Next time, maybe do as my dad always said, first offense is the best defense. Call the cops and report him for threatening and harassing you! Good job Erik!
It’s not that the guy is calling the cops he said he had a couple of buddies in high up positions and they could have the cops stop him. If you work the night shift you have to learn to sleep with ear plugs in a dark bedroom furthest from the road way. Other people do not have to stop living their lives because you have to sleep in the day time hours. You have quiet hours and normal hours but this looks like its out in the country so unless the sheriffs keep getting complaints late at night they wont do anything anyways. Does he expect mowers, combines, cows, horses, coyotes, dogs to all be quiet during the day? This guys is just being a A-1 A**hole.
Keep up the good work!
Great job!!😊
Call the cops! This guy is off his rocker! He thinks he owns the town!!
@@pjenn1 Yep. That's why he isn't tight with his neighbor, probably.
He clearly stated he was friends with the cops & he would. They're Freemason assholes, who are being shut down now btw.
What an absolute piece of work... I would have worked until the cops showed up and then showed them the video of this guy saying he has corrupt good old boy cop friends that shut you down. What a joke.
I'm a DOT foreman. Homeowners have the right to maintain their property all the way to the road. Only thing you can't do is disturb the ground ( change the original grade ) you can maintain your pipe and remove brush, debris and silt as needed to maintain drainage and cleanliness. Most row is 25 to 40 foot from center.
The owner own to the middle of the road. The county has an easement of 30 feet to do their work. Any changes of grade needs to be approved by the corp of engieneers.. Contrary to popular belief, The state does not own the ditches.. Its a good way to get sued and fired.
The distance from center of the road varies according to the road size, traffic and municipality plans for road expansion. My road used to have a 30' easement, now it's 40'. Oh well, they can mow the poison ivy in the ditches, tyvm.
Hi Erik. I've been watching your channel for a few months now and very much like what you do. This guy has nothing better to do than to bother you and be a jerk. How can you be making that much noise with your tractor/mulcher than the traffic on the road? This is on him, not you. You are doing a great thing by giving back to the community. I wish there was more like you here in Canada lol! You, lawn care juggernaut, sb mowing, blessing boys and a few others are unsung hero's of your community. Keep up the awesome work that you do.
He’s telling you he has police friends that will stop you from interrupting his sleep. Police inforce the law not his sleep schedule. Keep up the good work Intimidation isn’t going to work.
You're doing amazing work in the communities. The only question I have is, when you come across suspicious things; you touch everything and your first call is never to the police. Why? You never know if you contaminate the evidence or crime scene.
There is nothing wrong with what you are doing ! He needs to sleep to make a living while you're making your living providing outdoor services. I am a retired police officer and worked shifts, including the night shift, and I couldn't dream of approaching someone on a job site because I couldn't sleep. Suck it up, neighbor. Put in some foam earplugs. Seems like the more you try helping out, the neighbors are either jealous or ignorant about it.
2 pm on Saturday afternoon, lol! You're most certainly not breaking laws, whether criminal or bylaws.
Looks great. Keep up the good work, my friend.
Cheers
Eric, you amaze me in so many ways. This latest video brings your gentlemanly way of not blowing up at things others try to pull on you. Good job all around! 🤠
Well Mr. Wet Nappy Neighbor, it IS a noisy machine when it's working. Quite unlike yourself, who is whing like a toddler.
The noise ordinance is set by the county and not up to dispute with those trying to complete work outdoors during those hours. If man-baby has an issue he should drive to the township hall and discuss the situation with them.
My township says that "excessive noise shall not exceed 16 hours a day, seven days a week". Most people are nice and try to keep extra loud activities between the hours of 07:30 and 22:00 (or when darkness falls).
You're a kind and helpful soul Erik!
That complainer needs to go back in his home mind his business learn the law...cops cant do crap..appreciate ya keep up the great work
I’m sorry you had to be confronted with the crazy neighbor. You’re just there to do a simple job. I really think there are too many crazies in this world. Some people just have to relax a little.
Great job. Take care.
I can't believe the attitude of the neighbor. If he has an issue, he should take it up with the guy that hired you. Another fine job, Erik. Love your videos.
I can't believe you picked up the gun! First thing is to call the police.
Then owner did . Pretty sketchy.
NO!
I agree, Eric should NEVER pick up anything that looks suspicious...call the police, no matter what.
He never calls the police when he should. Makes me wonder how much of this is just for content.
@@SuzanneBassette or he's "special," which, of course, he is. Just look at him.
"I'll go home and call the cops."
"Wanna borrow my phone?" Call his bluff.
I worked 12 hr night shifts in several tiwn states in houses and in apartments.I was a critical care RN.Lawn mowers,leaf blowers house getting built beside me. Never did i go out and and confront or threaten them
The entitlement of so many people is sickening. “Everyone stop what you’re doing to accommodate ME”. Not one person is more important than anyone else.
True. There should be jail time for unlogical people like that!
@@Visionauts89 jail time might be a little extreme but maybe some good, old fashioned trash pickup on the side of the road could help with an attitude adjustment. 😊
@@1stDoNoHarm63 Fair point ofcourse. Some 'correction' will work for some people. But i'm sure the ones with certain personality types will not change unless there is some advantage to them. Now anyways I might be a bit to harsh on the subject, but respect and logical thinking is so rare these days.
Eric, this was a crazy one! A rude bully confronts you, and then the second day, you find a hidden sawed-off shotgun next to the fence! I wonder if the bully had any ties to that gun? Was he trying to scare you off to stay away from the gun? The ditch looks so much better after you mowed it all off!!! Good job! 😊
Sleeping Beauty would have grabbed the gun by now if he were guilty of more than just being an a-hole.
That prick was no beauty.
By the way that's one of the best cutting jobs I've watched lately. That roadside sure looks 100 % nicer now.
Angry neighbor didn't want you to find the stashed weapon.
The dumbest thing is to touch that gun.
That neighbor threatened you. He needs the police to remind him to leave you alone. The police can even talk to the owners. Otherwise, he can shut the Frick up. God bless you Hugs ❤🤗
But they're his FRIENDS (the corrupt cops).
I was wondering about the neighbors c objection to the guy as s well
But they didn't come. So either they're not all that good of friends - or they're not all that corrupt.
Erik, my❤️goes out to you. It's sad that there are individuals who are so angry, bitter & evil, all they wanna do is make the lives of others as miserable as they are. Be careful. I pray for you.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It struck me how that man spun around when you said the word “Easter.” This guy seems evil. Stay safe… You are a great guy.
So anyone who doesn't celebrate Easter is evil? Give your head a shave!
@thepoetthatwasi1722 Most definitely.
@@thepoetthatwasi1722 Troll. I did not say that. Of course not. But evil WILL react to the thought of God. I found his REACTION interesting. That will mean nothing to you.
@AmandaSydneyAustralia Don't be silly. His reaction to the word was interesting. How on earth did you think I meant that anyone who does not celebrate Easter is evil? Your reaction is ridiculous and only DIVIDES humans with ugliness.
I agree. He did not like him being kind and saying happy Easter to him 😂 he was trying to start 💩 and instead he got kindness in return.
Immediately, go talk to the homeowners. I would never hold a conversation with anyone else but them.
No Maam. Immediately call the POLiCE, Then the homeowners. That gun didn't get there by accident. He needs to NEVER touch a weapon he finds like that, tho. Let me reiterate. FIRST CALL:POLICE. Jeez. It's awful that that has to be said out loud. 🙄
Very nicely done Eric. Never a dull moment watching your videos.
The happy Easter was the icing on the cake
You are also helping out the over head line guys. Great job.
I live in the city. I rest a lot during the day because of my heart. People cut grass, cut trees, reroof houses cant go out and tell people they cant work. Dogs bark during the night, cars racing, music playing at night.
Live and let live.
You do a great job. That guy is a very unhappy person. Dont worry about him. God bless you and your family.
The claws grabbing the rocks were so cute. I know they were heavy but looked like little pebbles to the machine. Very satisfying work.
I was thinking the same thing
Like everyone said, he didn't want that gun found. The way Erik was dressed, that man wouldn't have been able to tell if he worked for the country or not from the other side of the road. He looked for any excuse he could for Erik to stop. Now, question is, what crime did that man do with gun. Arrogant piece of work.
Great job, once again!! I can’t believe that so called neighbor that literally had to drive to where you were to bully you!! There’s no houses around where you’re at.. Glad you stood up to him. ❤
You have the meanest people in your area! Life’s too short for so much anger.
ERIC, I think you should have called the Cops. THEN NOT TOUCHED THE Gun. AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THAT man threatening you.
This is the comment I was looking for.
I came to say the samething. They should not have touched the rifle.
And not continued to mow, further destroying any other evidence!
Agreed!! What the hell?
Yes Eric ...call them..better yet go there with the vudeo
What a awesome and neighborly person that neighbor was.
You have the patience of a Saint, Sir. Saturday. 2 pm. On another person’s land. Carl should get a noise machine and let the rest of the world live their lives.
I got a little chuckle when you said “I don’t wanna deal with the cops” and the Universe said “well…..”
Erik, you were hired for a job. I can understand the neighbor needs some sleep, but he is a bully. You aren't doing anything wrong. Love your videos. Have a good day.
If he works 3rd shift and it's 2:00pm why didn't he go home and go to bed as soon as he got off work?! I mean 2pm that's like 7 hours after shift!! I JUST LOVED how he threw around the cops will STOP you in 2 hrs...well my FRIENDS that ARE COPS WILL!!! I definitely would tell the cops about him,HE may just be the one who threw the gun out there with that anger he has!! Rude bully!!!!! I don't like people like that!! I'm glad you stood your ground with him!!
People are unreasonable and unhappy and like to start stuff but they have no right and you didn’t do anything wrong! Bless you brother! ❤
Interesting cleanup. Thanks for helping your neighbor.
I don't see any houses near you. Keep up the good work.
Exactly! The same I thought. He came there by CAR!))))))
I'm sure he lives nearby.😂
It was probably his gun that was found. He was panicking, and made up a story. He needs to be questioned by the authorities.
@lyndaferguson816 This was the first thing that came to my mind
@lyndaferguson816 If that was true, he probably would have removed the gun during the night before day two though.
He wouldn't have been stupid enough to NOT realize that Eric would come back to finish the job, would he? 🤔
Well actually, maybe... 😂
I have work night shift for many years. Your machine doesn't make that much noise. He could turn on a fan or TV to cover the noise up. Your doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work
The man that told you to be gone is implicated. He’s Prime suspect! His body language and his behavior is telling a story. He is definitely involved with that gun!
Definitely maybe!
My dad worked 3rd shift and we lived on a main drag through the city. He used these magical things called ear plugs so he could sleep. Amazing how a two dollar purchase helped his sleep.
Part two: I was traveling in New Mexico at night. Lightning caused a fire along the highway just inside the fence line. I called 911 and got out the fire department! If the road way had been like this stretch I could not have traveled that night. This job is a matter of public safety! Good job Eric!
