I start next Tuesday.


What’s the little mark between the larger line and the medium sized line on the tape measure?

A couple years ago I had a new guy. Told my boss he had experience. I tell him to cut me a 2x6 at 14 5/8th. After a minute he comes up to me and asks "Which ones are 1/8's". I tell him and he marks the board with his plastic speed square. A second later he goes to start the cut. He's got the short end on his foot.

I run over and stop him before he takes his toes off. Then I told him to have a nice day. My boss calls me after a few and asks why I booted the guy from the jobsite. I told him I don't take well to stupid people and take even less well to liars. He never said another word about it. lol

God damn.



I got one.

Company I used to work for did building automation. We were retrofitting a 17 story building over in North Hollywood.
We were starting up top and working our way down with dropping line. We get to the first floor and I’m trying to find access from the 2nd floor drop location so I send my guy back up 1 floor and tell him if he can see my light I’m shining up so we could just drop our line through a conduit.
This dickweed goes ALLLLLLL the way to the other side of the building to a service closet. Doesn’t say anything and waits around for 15 minutes.
I’m dickin around in my phone while standing on a 18’ ladder so idgaf until I called to ask where he was.
We get on face time and he shows me the area. I ask
“WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU IN THE SERVICE CLOSET ACROSS THE BUILDING IF WE ARE LOOKING TO DROP OUR LINE STRAIGHT DOWN?”

“Oh man I’m so sorry, I , I , I don’t know what I was thinking”



LMAO!

Same guy, different floor, running the same line. “Hey the line is coming off the fish rod, you got any tape on you?”

Hands me a measuring tape.

I look at him and say,

“FOR FUCKS SAKE, ELLEN, PAY THE FUCK ATTENTION!”
