That awkward moment when the 811 guy pulls up literally 30 seconds after you pull the locate flags to mow.

It had been 30 days, so I was in the clear

What is 811?

The number you call when you need to find out if there's water, power, or data lines running where you want to dig. They put up little flags to mark where stuff is.

I think most states use it, and most require you to call before doing any digging, even planting trees.

That service saves so much money and they don't even charge.

I just mow those too.

I did the same after 60 days. It was over the winter so no mowing.

They don't care. They'll leave them there until they rust away.
