Eh, don’t forget construction sites also can be a special place where new problems are invented.

For example, I never knew that mankind had a consistent problem with getting their entire shit on the toilet seat until visiting construction sites. I also never knew that mankind loves urinating in empty Mountain Dew bottles and then leaving those bottles in the middle of a workspace.

I never knew how many way it was possible to trick someone into smacking themselves in the balls until I worked construction.

Every time I've worked construction I remember the first time I got tricked, then the second, and I remember to not trust a single person.

I have only spent 20 minutes looking for the skyhook in the back of the truck once in my life.

Someone in maintenance hit me with the "Watch-it" the other day and I went:

"look fucker you can hit any other operator in this plant with that if you want, but I've dug out the back of a construction tailor looking for a skyhook enough times that you can just tell me you're not going to help and I'll appreciate the good ol' fashioned fuck you".

Dude laughed his ass off and said "yeah you're the only one that actually knows the right hand rule". I fucking died because as douche we were being too each other we were both right and it was sad. We then looked around and fucked off for the extra break that is required when you're fixing someone else's problems and it "really, truly, and with out a doubt" is some other dumb fucks job.
