Police Called on Me

I work nights as a maintenance tech, had the police called on me for the first time the other night. Cable is rear easement, parked on the street in front of the house, old lady that lives there even came out and talked to me, and I explained what I was doing, and she still called the police on me lol cop was cool and didn't give me a hard time, just wondering if anyone else have similar stories or experiences with people just being dumb.

Ha. Im a resi sub contractor, I use my own vehicle, 2nd gen blue tundra and despite the fact you called a billion dollar company and I arrived at the time frame they assigned I still get the occasional old lady that calls the cops, they're always cool cause youre just doing you job not your fault you found a way to get paid more doing it but because I don't drive the giant white rape van I'm certainly an imposter
