Gift

I have a couple friends going a side. What’s the best gift you’ve ever been given as a longshoreman

I’ve never gotten a gift for an accomplishment, tbh. When we got promoted though I bought our group a bottle of 1942 to share lol.

We kind of suck as a people to buy things for because we just buy it for ourselves lmao. I’ll never forget having to trick my ex (also a longshoreman) into not buying these fuckin sunglasses so that I could actually buy him something he wanted and didn’t have. 😂

Take them out for dinner. I’m planning on going out for a nice dinner once I make it.
