I don't care.

You have a truck. Attached to the truck is a 15ft trailer. The front of the truck, at the bumper is a sign. The sign indicates that citizens are not to park there, ever. It also states something about being towed. Now that sign is at the end of a street at the corner of that street. About 15-20ft from that corner. Picture the above truck that is always longer than 15-20ft. (You still with me?) That truck, has an attached trailer. The trailer is 5ft into the intersection. A safety risk? Not according to the citizen, keep reading. Did I mention that there is a 4ft ramp protruding from the end of the above trailer? No? Sorry, my bad. So I drove up to the citizen and asked him to move both vehicles to a safer spot. I repeated. I waited. I advised him of a possible fine of $100. I drove down the street after getting a rattle of acknowledgement. I looked back, and the citizen went back to what he was doing, mowing a lawn. Now to be honest, he was not exactly happy that I wanted him to move his vehicles, out of the intersection. I drove back to him and said again, please move your vehicle so not to get two tickets worth $100. He said he was almost done. I said "I don't care."

Funny, sometimes I believe that my duties include protecting other citizens from potential accidents. I have to ask people to move their vehicle in spite of THEMSELVES. Heaven forbid that I am keeping them from being involved in a accident by a fault of their own.

With a few expletives (swear words, sailors salt) he finally got into his truck and drove away. He drove away around the corner. I also left. 2 minutes later he was parked in the same spot, back to mowing. Obviously I was back and proceeded to issue him a ticket. Only one ticket mind you, for $50. The citizen threw every swear word he knew at me.

Was I too pushy? Should I have left him alone?

The citizens down the street working in their yard, exactly 6 houses down, heard every expletive.
