1. Good god, that man needs help

I laughed when he got stuck in the concrete.

Is there any follow up to this incident???

[central scrutinizer]

24. Cement angel!

Missed his chance to make a cement angel since he was already down

[Demovictory9]

28. lol.. I did too

[lunasun]

29. 'I want that truck off my lawn.' Sheriff's arrived at the property shortly afterwards, and ticketed

‘Mailander, the Omaha World Herald reported.
He was angry about another white Chevy truck that had been parked outside his home, even though it had been left on a public right of way. Mailander could also face far more serious felony charges if he is found to have caused more than $5,000 of damage to the white pickup and cement truck

i Read he knifed the tires of the white pick up truck

[Takket]

2. wow.........

so he's going to get the repair bill for the cement mixer, a bill for the lost time because he ruined the concrete pour, ruined his own shoes and socks, probably going to be arrested and charged with something.

Because a truck had its wheel on his lawn

look... i get it............ i'd be pissed if someone did that too but at the same time, the truck is going to leave at some point and your lawn is going to be fine.

gotta know when to fight and when to let things go in life and this was a time to just let it go.

[lunasun]

4. It was a visitor to his neighbor imagine how that's going to go if he did damage to that truck too

[WheelWalker]

6. You gotta know when to hold'em... know when to fold'em.

Know when to walk away, and know when to run.

[Liberal In Texas]

8. Typically, that strip isn't even his lawn. It's usually public property

where the city usually encourages or sometimes requires homeowners to maintain whatever is on them.

Bet I know who he voted for for pres.

[yonder]

16. Yes, good call. The right-of-way for that road is likely several feet behind the curb,

maybe even behind the sidewalk. He might mow and water that strip but my guess it is in the public ROW. Not only that but his property frontage is probably encumbered with at least a utility easement maybe a sidewalk easement too. He'll really be pissed when they have to dig up something.

[hunter]

23. I once had utterly bizarre arguments with a neighbor over a little square of land...

...between the sidewalk and the street.

It was my water keeping the land green, on the whim of the developer who originally built this place, but this neighbor was convinced he had dominion over thirty square feet of dirt and sidewalk.

It didn't matter how many times I told him the city owned it but I couldn't replant flowers there without him losing his shit, and when I offered he could plant his own flowers if he wanted to, that would made him even angrier.

This was the same guy who called the police when my kids and their friends, the oldest third graders, were drawing on the street and sidewalks with chalk.

I was so happy when he and his wife sold the house and moved away.

[lunasun]

32. Wow usually police can not stand these time wasters Chalk drawing on the side walk was the crime !

[yonder]

33. I think your neighbors moved to Potter St., Omaha, Nebraska.

I'm a retired land surveyor. I've seen tons of squabbles with neighbors fighting over just a couple of tenths of a foot. That's a big deal in downtown BigCity, USA, but out in Suburbanville, USA? It just ain't worth it.

Glad things worked out in your neighborhood.

[ret5hd]

38. I have read right here on DU that drawing on the sidewalk with chalk...

is vandalism.

But I don't put much stock in such opinions. It seems to me there are regular shit-stirrers and there are those who are paid to magnify and elevate even the tiniest of petty differences to whatever ultimate shitstorm they can manage to create in an effort to thwart any semblance of teamwork.

Then you got regular ol' crazy like your neighbor and this guy.

[Ahpook]

26. There is an easement

And I can guarantee his property line is behind that walkway by a foot or more.

My brother owns a land surveying company and this is a constant argument with grouchy assholes like this guy. They think the lot pins are bullshit. Blah Blah

When getting shots out in the road, his crew are constantly harassed by people like this. They will swerve their car to act like they are going to hit them, middle fingers and verbal expletives. One of his crew was asked why they are surveying in the area. He said that an insane asylum is being built and they are surveying for this purpose. My brother had to fire him since the guy called the city raising hell

But you know, you get sick of hearing this shit....

[yonder]

39. insane asylum, that's a good one.

I had a rodman once answer with "pressure sewer main" - that sent the questioner into a fit.

The best answer is a vague "I don't know, the office sent us out" or "we're just measuring a few things". Of course, most folks are just curious and will ask "Watcha surveying?", or "Are they widening the road?" In fact, that's kind of an inside joke when a surveyor comes across a crew they might know and they'll ask the same thing because every surveyor has heard it a thousand times.

There are psychos out there though and being set up in the middle of the road brings out the worst.

[Ahpook]

46. Sounds like a fun career

He has had some interesting surveys!

One was to find a pool that was buried on a parcel in Florida. The new owner had plats, but the information was very vague.

They found it as well as a few pictures from the 40's. It was a pool made from coquina shell.

When they hit it they were blown away

[yonder]

22. Update, for what it's worth.

A little sleuthing reveals:

The recorded plat for that cranky kook's subdivision shows a 50' wide right-of-way. Google Earth shows a back of curb to back of curb width of +/-25. So the right-of-way line (his front property line) is +/-12.5' behind the back of curb or roughly 4.5' behind the back of that sidewalk.

He would really be pissed if surveyors came out and located his front property corners. Poor old fart - somebody has to be him.

14. Article

https://www.omaha.com/news/metro/i-want-that-truck-off-my-lawn--year-old/article_21dcf808-55ee-50dc-b3f3-73505dad2ce6.html]

He started off taking a knife to the truck’s tires.

The man, Thomas Mailander, has been ticketed on suspicion of criminal mischief, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Lt. Rob Jones. The incident occurred Thursday morning on Potter Street in the Deerwood Park area, which is northwest of the intersection of Blair High Road and Ida Street.

If the damage is more than $5000 it is a felony.

And the grass strip the truck had a wheel on is a public area.

[Johnny2X2X]

40. Ticketed?

If he had been an old black man he would have been slammed to the cement in front of his family and hog tied.

[underpants]

44. You know what the N on the Nebraska football helmets stands for?

Knowledge

That's a really old college football joke

[Siwsan]

3. That does take "Get off my lawn!!!!!!" to a whole new level

[Demovictory9]

31. that piece of lawn doesn't belong to him. That's the strip that belongs to the city.

[Siwsan]

42. Ah, but the city doesn't maintain it. He does.

Thus he likely feels pretty proprietary.

[underpants]

35. Just about to post something like that.

[marble falls]

5. My bad. I thought my wife locked the door behind me. What can I say, pop-pop ...

is nuts. If he gets loose, its time to call the cops.

[Atticus]

7. Gee, I wonder who HE voted for in 2016! nt

[Adsos Letter]

9. He was only issued a misdemeanor ticket pending evaluation of the damage.

No arrest, according to those on that twitter thread.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Gramps isn't going anywhere with those cement overshoes.

[mercuryblues]

10. Is it just me

or was anyone else wishing that was quick dry cement?

[HipChick]

13. Was hoping he fell

headlong and it quick dried..

[magicarpet]

12. Maybe the wife put some rum in his morning coffee ?

[lunasun]

15. Maybe his wife SHOULD put rum in his coffee . Chill gramps

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. naw, this is an argument for legalized marijuana everywhere

Mellow out, man.

[Skittles]

18. fucking MAGAt

I guess we should be thankful he's not a gun humper

[diva77]

48. I wonder whether Fux and other hate media cause early dementia

[onethatcares]

19. he probably thinks his

real estate taxes go to shiftless immigrants instead of all that state of the art equipment those trucks are full of.

I hope his neighbors know what he did.

[pecosbob]

20. He's gonna get some serious lime burns if he don't get them shoes and socks off pretty fast

added with the sand in his socks working on the skin of his ankles he could be in a lot of pain real quick.

[NutmegYankee]

21. White Privilege is not being on the ground with a skull fracture for that. nt

[lunasun]

27. And just received a ticket . Different pigment would be a handcuffed haul away at the very least

I’m thinking in Nebraska where this was

[vercetti2021]

25. And they say Millennials are babies

Sure ok lol whatever man. What a big ass old baby. I can guess who is idol is

[Demovictory9]

30. update.. Truck on the lawn didn't belong to the workmen. "Thor" was cited

Jackson said he wasn’t sure who owned the truck. He later found out who the owner was, but it was a son visiting his mother who lived across the street. It had nothing to do with the workmen.

Mailander has been cited for a misdemeanor based on $500 to $1,500 in damage. If the damage is more than $1,500, he could be charged with a felony.

[DonaldsRump]

34. OMG...

This is unbelievable, but it's pretty clear to me who this fool voted for.

[underpants]

36. It's hard to tell stupid from drunk.

I thought he was hammered. I could be wrong.

Notice how he was going to bust up the headlight of the actual truck but suddenly turns toward the work truck. He's pissed that's for sure. Totally speculation but from what I saw of the crew I think I know why he went after the cement mixer.

[lunasun]

37. It just had to involve "those people "

Nope oops it’s one of your neighbor's visitors

[LuckyCharms]

41. Could be a medical condition.

He could be suffering from a mental ailment such as dementia for instance.

Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?

I speculate this because he is casting aside any repercussion concerns for his actions. People in a normal state of mind generally don't do that kind of stuff, simply because normal people realize that they may end up in jail for acts like this.

[rufus dog]

43. workers appear to be hispanic

Likely set him off.

My in laws live in a retirement community. In So Cal almost all landscape employees are hispanic. So summer of 2018 the crew handling the complex quits. They were taking too much abuse from the homeowners. One MAGAt lady walked out and slapped a crew member, told him to go back to Mexico. The owner had enough, pulled the crew. Sent a letter terminating the contract for cause. (I would guess he had documented the abuses and the Homeowners Association did squat)

Here is where it gets good, the President and VP of the HOA (MAGAts) had forced the company to do a lot of extras in their backyards. The owner had it all documented, walked away, AND dropped a million dollar law suit on the HOA. Last I heard, it was so well documented that the HOA was offering over 500k prior to anything going to court.

[lunasun]

47. Black foreman/co owner with Black /Hispanic crew .Old W man just had to go out there and cause shit

MAGATS would demand it as it is his patriotic duty !

[JDC]

45. What a grade A asshole, with a giant heap of dumbass rolled in

The wet cement is a classic. If only he had lost his shoe in there.... Genius.
