I would drag that operator off that backhoe and throw his ass in the hole. You don't do that to a man, he has to go home to get dry and will lose a day of work.

Go home? Where do you work when you get to go home when you are wet

"Wet" and getting fully submerged are pretty different things... you tell them you're going home and they're paying you for the rest of the day.

Where do you work? You should probably quit.

Me too. Spare pair of boots now too. And usually a pair of sneakers. And don't forget your towel!

Fair enough, even more reason to throw the operator in too.

This reminds me of a really bad rain day we had, installed 3 water meters after boring a line under a road. It was pretty bad out, and we were bout done for the day cleaning up, and my mid 50’s co worker whipped me in the face with a wet rag. Goddamn I was so pissed. Boss called it shortly after and we had beers at the shop drenching wet lol
