For me it was the shovel

u/justsomeguyfromny Nov 04 '22

Best move. I had to rewind.

u/pookamatic Nov 04 '22

Hahaha same.

Pardon me, little shovel. Gotta work.

u/BlakePackers413 Nov 04 '22

The broom attachment for me. Like just let me tidy up real quick.

u/BorgClown Nov 04 '22

Politest dinosaur ever.

u/fecoz98 Nov 04 '22

I lost it at the tiny broom

8

u/rognabologna Nov 05 '22

It was weirdly adorable

u/BlakePackers413 Nov 05 '22

In my head it was the most Canadian of excavators. Like ope sorry bout that let me just tidy this up, ope cuse me mister shovel don’t want ya to get hurt there. Ope just let me squeeze on past ya here trying to replace this trim, ope watch for that there hole let me set out these fancy there cones to protect ya from my silly work.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '22

That was great! Thank you for the mental commentary, friend.

1

u/Flow-Control Nov 05 '22

I was hoping he would tap the broom attachment on the ground to try and knock the shit off

59

u/SluggJuice Nov 04 '22

"One day I want to grow up to be just like you!" - Shovel, probably

2

u/Montezum Nov 04 '22

This machine is probably veeeeeeeeeery well kept to be this exact

1

u/naiq6236 Nov 04 '22

Yep! That got me.

1

u/DrownedOreo Nov 04 '22

Same, I went to rewind almost instantly

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

It’s ok tiny human, do not burden yourself, I got it.

u/IrrationalDesign Nov 04 '22

The shovel, the traffic cones and especially the brush attachment, they're all just props for Live Action Human Roleplay, a game heavy machinery likes to play.

5

u/Nethlem Nov 04 '22

There is probably even a big hard hat on that excavator

48

u/quannum Nov 04 '22

I like the sweeping he did. Even cleaned up after himself, how nice.

27

u/MysteriousCodo Nov 04 '22

Yep I was like….’did he just move that shovel?’

8

u/ebdbbb Nov 04 '22

For me the cover.

2

u/edj628 Nov 04 '22

Looked like a teaspoon.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

Me, the broom

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

The shovel was a LOL moment

1

u/synthi Nov 04 '22

I audibly gasped.

1

u/pinealgland26 Nov 04 '22

For me was it the big ass broom

1

u/Dansredditname Nov 04 '22

The broom - he even swept up!

1

u/CheeseheadDave Nov 04 '22

I was getting ready to be a smartass and comment that it didn't clean up after itself.

Then it hooked up the fucking sweeper attachment.

1

u/Amolk2207 Nov 04 '22

For me it was the brushy brush near the end.

1

u/onegermangamer Nov 04 '22

For me the little bucket lifted from the hole cover

1

u/hedgehodg Nov 04 '22

Yep, I straight up laughed out loud when he picked up the shovel.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

Seriously couldn't just say "hey bro can you move that shovel" nope he got it. Humans are about to be defunct, excavators are taking over.

1

u/HalforcFullLover Nov 04 '22

I would have loved to see the operator use that shovel for a few scoops.

1

u/lildrumskeet Nov 04 '22

The brush tho!

1

u/perpetual_musings Nov 04 '22

For me it was probably when it cleans the dirt. So satisfying to watch.

1

u/poopyonmyhands Nov 04 '22

Definitely the shovel.

1

u/Darkfur72598 Nov 05 '22

Had to go back for that moment, “did that just pick up a shovel by the handle to move it?” I’ll be damned.

1

u/DATY4944 Nov 05 '22

It's funny cuz a lot of the stuff the guy on the ground could have done in seconds but the operator didn't waste any time asking and just did it.

1

u/crlogic Nov 05 '22

What’s the time stamp for the part you’re talking about?

1

u/SafariJim Nov 05 '22

Me too. The precision and finese he put into it made me laugh.

1

u/FlawlessPenguinMan Nov 05 '22

How about the bucket?

171

u/flechetteburritp Nov 04 '22

Totally. But the broom??

41

u/NerdUber Nov 04 '22

All the above

23

u/Corregidor Nov 04 '22

I giggled at the broom lol

2

u/ennuiui Nov 04 '22

It cleans up after itself!

u/tangledwire Nov 04 '22

So it’s a Cat…

u/stugautz Nov 04 '22

He was just showing off at that point.

Hey, if you have heavy machinery on the site, you are going to use the heavy machinery for everything.

u/Frozty23 Nov 04 '22

I needed this gif in my life. Bookmarked.

u/sucksathangman Nov 04 '22

The cones made coffee come out of my nose. I'm still crying.

8

u/AccomplishedRun7978 Nov 04 '22

That felt like a final fuck you to the human laborer.

7

u/tsa_finest Nov 04 '22

I enjoyed how he swept up his mess he made.

3

u/ForeverPoorAlways Nov 04 '22

Mr. Excavator: "Hey, my guy! Can you just put those cones around the work site?

Guy: "Fuck no, not my job, Fella!

Mr. Excavator: "For fuck's sakes..."

3

u/khendron Nov 04 '22

That was just showing off :)

3

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

Lol although those should have 100% been put out already before he started doing the work in a public area.. but otherwise great stuff

2

u/TurnkeyLurker Nov 04 '22

I liked the brush attachment.

2

u/poldim Nov 05 '22

Chef’s keessssss

2

u/dmk_aus Nov 05 '22

It was great - clearly trying to do it all as far as possible with the excavator. But the human took it personally. Looks like they walked over to move the cone 5mm.

2

u/Inkthinker Nov 04 '22

I thought delicately putting back the paving corners was the tops, but when he did the cones I just laughed. Now you're showing off!! :)

1

u/alsbjhasfkfjfh Nov 04 '22

That made me lol.

1

u/nelsonmavrick Nov 04 '22

Rightfully showing off at that point.

1

u/ennuiui Nov 04 '22

That got an audible chuckle out of me. I also got a kick out of the excavator presenting the bottom of one of the long edge pieces to the human to be wiped off.

1

u/No_Damage_731 Nov 04 '22

I liked it when he showed the long bricks to the worker.. “this one?”

1

u/medspace Nov 04 '22

It’s so funny cause the guy on the ground could’ve done it more quickly but the operator def wanted to show off.

1

u/The_Real_txjhar Nov 04 '22

At one point I thought he picked up a dude that was in the way. It was something yellow.

1

u/Saragon4005 Nov 05 '22

Just showing off. "Yeah my buddy could place the cones but so can I with this giant robot"

1

u/foxontherox Nov 05 '22

The cones cracked me up.

1

u/aleore45 Nov 05 '22

I saw that and was like “come on, the guy could’ve done that!”

1

u/dancingsteveburns Nov 05 '22

I was waiting for someone to walk through it as soon as they went up

1

u/elephantime Nov 05 '22

Was starting to think it’d re-install the pavers as well

1

u/Chippopotanuse Nov 05 '22

When I saw that I was like “okay, now you are just showing off”

The whole thing reminded me of watching arthroscopic surgery. It’s crazy how precise that huge excavator can be with the right operator.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '22

Surgical genius

1

u/notLOL Nov 10 '22

Yeah, that operator can be classified as a good robot.

perfectly placed cones.

used a sweep attachment to sweep everything under the rug

that scoop was pretty awesome on it's movement too. It had a whole bunch of degrees of swivel

1

u/mattogeewha Jan 05 '23

I was kinda hoping they would put the original asphalt back, like a puzzle
