true story (unfortunately). may offend some?

the other day i was about 15 - 20m up a small grey gum, was a fairly straight forward take down. had to lower out the canopy then the trunk could be felled. the tree was in bushland next to a housing estate.

i had been the tree for a bout an hour, with only 1 or 2 more branches to lower. for whatever reason i glanced over to the houses and in the backyard of the 3rd house away was approx 50 yr old indian man watching me, he actually startled me for some reason. so i waved, he waved back. be a true tree bogan i gave him the thumbs up and he followed suit. next thing he's given me the finger! (not that that's rare).

i yelled to my crew that he had given me the finger, i look over there again and he's rubbing himself through his pants.....i told the groundies "hey now he's rubbing himself".....thinking that me telling them would make him go away.

i proceeded to lower out the branches and happened to glance back at old mate Apu, this time i see he's got his old mate out whilst looking up at me. i thought "NO way!" so i ignored it and started blocking a few sections down till the trunk was the right height. as i was blocking down i look over and he was flogging himself.

i yelled to the groundies, saying " ring the cops there's a bloke wanking, watching me. 3rd house on the corner"

they laughed thinking i was joking, they couldnt see him from the ground.

eventually he went in side and out of sight. i got the crew to send up the pull rope attached it to the tree and got down quick smart!

spoke to my superiors who said finish the job if we can then go to the cop shop and make a statement. made the statment and they said they'd go visit him in the arvo.

what an awful day.....atleast we've got the other crew beat for a while.

If you could see his junk from three houses over maybe you should of got his #

Never had that problem and hopefully never will. I have seen a car accendent happen from someone staring at me while up on a cell tower. I waved, he waved back, and then he rearended the car infront of him. I felt bad. Kinda sounds like you could have gotten rearended too.

You never know who's watching!

Unlucky, That is so wrong! I havent had anything that bad but i was taking down a poplar in a nearby town when i looked into the customers bedroom window. Big mistake, she was standing there looking out the window with no top on! Now obviously I love boobs but when a 50 year old birds standing ther with her droopy baps out it aint good ( im 26 ). I didnt even say bye to her when the job was finished just to save enbarisment!
