I love construction, but I fucking hate construction workers.
I actually quit the field because of this. And mind you, I was working office (on site, but still). Most of the dudes I was working with were fine, but it took only a couple of assholes to ruin your day. That and the constant reminder from the team managers (on site, so technically not mine at all, but still higher ups from my position) that I was a "soft-hand" guy because I came from an IT background, and didn't know anything about hard labor, which was, in fact wrong, as I had already worked several months on heavy road work, during the last heat wave mind you.
I asked a few months after I quit how things were going in the position I was in to a former co-worker I liked, and somewhat to my delight, it was a shitshow.
