forgot the part where you say âthis isnât how your suppose to do it, but this is how we do itâ
No I get it why do it right once when you can fix it 3 or 4 times
@@michiganmadeoutdoors9699 Exactly. Paid by the hour.
Literally the cornerstone of all learning on site
I...I thought we only said that at my company.
Oh my gosh yes. My dad 100% lol lol
The most accurate part of it is the fact the whole time he's getting NOTHING done.
You gotta pace yourself
Lmfao
He gave the new guy a nickname! That's important work.
Don't work yourself out of a job
"Hey they told us we had all month" đ
We had a new guy that everyone called beaver because he thought he saw a beaver, but it was a cat.
Lmao that's hilarious! đ
I wouldâve clogged everyoneâs gasâs tanks with sand and starting shooting up the site
Im so glad i am not a dude. Poor guys hazing each other lol
@@heyikindalikeyou itâs all in good fun really, but it can get annoying if youâre hungover.
Man I wish I had a cool ass nickname, we need them at my job. Thereâs 2 other Codyâs and it gets confusing. Everybody calls this guy I work with dip because he played high school baseball and had a dip in and swallowed it during a game and puked. Been called that for years
You forgot about the guy who constantly complaining about his ex wife..... from 15 years ago
Sorry bout that bro..;)
Thats cause he still loves her ,... u know internally lmfao
As a gas station clerk, I heard whiney ex stories from blue collar workers all day. Why? I happen to be of the female persuasion and probably trigger the poor bastards.
I was stuck on a gas refinery in the Indian Ocean with that guy for 3 months with no way or means of escapeâŠ
And he doesnât even remember her name anymore.
All accurate. The only thing that makes you unbelievable as a construction worker is you seem like a genuinely happy person and still have somewhat of a will to live
đđ wheres the hint of depression and hopelessness hahah
Ouch yup that one hits home
Soo true lmao đ
facts đđđđ
@Brian Malone Most of them think admitting that working a grueling job at the expense of your physical health might be making them depressed isn't manly, so they just mask it with alcohol, cigarettes, and junk food. You see it all the time.
Hazing the rookie but still being protective is the real dad move
I litterly have to stop myself from having dad complexes with the dudes I work with sometimes
Stay the fuck away from our new guy.
That is so sweet
@Gshi _ I'm left handed and finding tools for lefties is tough.
@@4realjacob637 same here. Just try and find a lefthanded guitar at a reasonable price lol
You forgot the biggest one of them all. "Hey how's it going?"..."oh you know just living the dream" also substituable with "just another day in paradise"
Or "Another day , another dollar" to which the reply is "Damn, you're getting paid a dollar? Why so much?"
Fuck I felt this on a personal level
đ€Łđ€Ł
Fuck that one hit me hard
I don't work construction, but one of the managers at my job used to always say, "Another day in the salt mines" or "Another day on the cotton fields" đ
Swear to god us construction workers are single handedly keeping Monster in business.
Us and Marines. Drank alot of monster in the corps. Everybody did. Then the cans become dip spitters.
Yes
Or literally any labor job oil change shops and roofers drink a lot of monsters mechanics etc
@@michaelwarnock3988 not a tax write off just a basic generalization
Snow plow season, the shelves get emptied at the gas station near the yard
If we were on a job more than 2 days we knew the gas stations attendants by first and last name. If we were there for a week we were sending their kids birthday cards.
Shit, Iâm usually at my jobs for months at a time. I practically know their ss numbers đ
@@darebear2438 I know thats right , was on a large slip job on an access road of 2 gas pads for 8 months and the amish ladies had a store at the bottom of the entrance road , think my boss had a thing for 1 of them
I feel like that's gotta require someone being bored as fuck or a lonely, attention-seeking transient
@@cedricnora4481 Drink an extra cup of stupid before you posted that comment?
@@darebear2438 đđIâm using this one.
The gas station is dead on. Contractors survive on monster, tasty kakes, and nicotine. That's all they need
Beyond true
So does the entire US Military.
and meth. A lot of guys on the jobsite are junkies. I just drink irish whiskey every night
Literally what it is broooo
I used to work outside and everyone pretty much ate lunch at gas stations Monday-Friday unless the boss took everyone out to eat. I still have a guilty pleasure of getting gas station lunches, it so cheap and pretty good
You forgot the engineers and office people showing up in clean safety vests and shiny hardhats and office shoes.
I refer to them as "shiny shoes"
That happened alot on gas pads we were building
Dont forget when they tell you how to do the job
Half the time they donât wear the hard hats at all
Haha as a project engineer, i hate that shit lol. If they're fucking up, i always just get the superintendent to make them do something instead of me telling them to do it.
Most accurate part when everybody's standing around and when the boss shows up they all start working. Classic.
Yep đ
I drove by a construction site and saw not just one guy working, but TWO guys at once! I damned near drove off the road.
Oh Lord
You find a parallel universe?
@@spatdog7 Not sure. Maybe one or both were prisoners on work detail? Lol
Only surprising out of these union guys
One of them had to be Tackle Box on his first day on the job trying to make a good first impression and fit in. đČđ
I felt "this is a tacklebox job" so hard
Def lol
Dude same my nickname was cupcake for the longest time
i get called "the boy" by all my 50-60 year old hispanic coworkers. im 19 kms
@@invasive175 Got constantly called youth, boy and kid by my 45-60year old coworkers at a former job at 26 years of age, quit that place because of shitty pay/terms though. But it was kinda annoying ngl.
Especially if itâs reorganizing the boards
Lol as a boss I love the "lot of windshield time for that guy" quote, and for my guys it isn't going to the gas station 10x a day, it's going to Home Depot 10x to pick up a single 2x4 or one ABS fitting at a time.
That's the way my company works. It takes 6-8 trips to Home Depot to build one wall because nobody can think ahead and make a list. I try to tell them you don't go to Home Depot in the middle of a work day unless you work there.
@@harrywinslow3946 if you're shopping for work you do. If you don't want them to go just tell them that, no need for the fallacy. Better yet; *you* should go out and buy the materials your employees need in order to do their job. That way you can be as efficient as you like
@@cry1459 That's exactly what I do. But I think ahead. I stop at HD either on my way to work for that day, or on my way home for the next day. Never in the middle of a job.
@@harrywinslow3946 Good thing you got ole' Bezos here to tell you how to run your company, otherwise you might just get lost on the way to home depot! Hahaha! Cheers from Memphis!
Ah fuck, we're outa fucking tapcons again. Better make another run to Farrell quick. I should be back before break so try to have xxxx done by the time I get back.
Forgot that everyoneâs wife/gf name is âthe old ladyâ
+ the caveat that it's a term of endearment & if you're using wife/gf when referring to someones ol lady, it's almost always because she'a a cumt.
The old ball and chain
The missus
đđđđold lady... I swear
Or if weather their married or not itâs always âthe wifeâ
I was never a construction worker, but one day my boss (fishing/fish market) didnât have anything for us to do so he had us help the crew building his new house. They talked shit to us for 8 hours straight. Most fun Iâve ever had working.
Yeah, fishscale, weâre not filleting fish here, weâre cutting 2x4âs, so measure twice and cut once. đđ
@@mr.reality9741 bold of you to assume they trusted us to make cuts đ€Ł. We were only trusted to hand them boards and sheets of plywood. They did âlet usâ hammer a few nails. The first thing they told us when we got there was that we were probably too dumb for any skill work đ
@@jamiegaskins3687 ha! Glad you had a sense of humor about everything.
Lmao!! I work in a warehouse and we rent part of it to another company. Anyway the next door warehouse staff are constantly shit talking to each other, which occasionally makes me laugh my ass off since Iâm the only warehouse staff for my company. Definitely a lot more fun having them around lmao
âWe got Tim and Ted, both named Tomâ
That shit had me crying!
and the stone face with it too. lol
We canât have two Tomâs on job site đ
I call everyone by their trade.
Hey Sparky! I need a hand@
@@triplea5618 that was just straight honesty
Smoking a cigarette with a monster I bought at a gas station while watching this...I work in construction,not even the same country đ
I've learned that working in many trades is the almost the same all around the world lol
I worked in construction for 7 years and pretty much lived off of gas station food. I think the hard labor counteracted all the awful food I ate and kept it neutral. Also, complaining about the boss was a daily occurence for all of us.
I don't think complaining about your boss is exclusive to construction workers.
The nine dislikes are from the bosses who are getting a manicure while watching this.
FACTS!!! laugh đ€Ł
Lmao
we are up to 299 bosses now.
What's wrong with not being nasty?
@@ImNotaRussianBot whats wrong with looking like youve used your hands?
I worked on a site in my early 20's that had a small crew of guys. The first guy ever hired was named Brandon. Because of this , the old man who owned the company called everyone Brandon. Sadly, we all knew which "Brandon" he was talking to based on the amount of cuss words he used and the octave of "Brandon!" He yelled. One glorious summer day, I made the mistake of informing the "old man" that my name was Josh. He put me in my place immediately. I'll never forget the look of outright rage in his blood filled face , spit flying from his lips as he yelled " I know your godda*n name Brandon!!!" Such fond memories...
đđ BRANDON YOUR USERNAME IS WRONG
THAT'S the kinda stuff that makes ya cry when ur young n laugh when ur old.
Sounds like a small-minded moronic manchild that is used to throwing hissy fits snd mistreating people his whole life, with such little care for others that he can't even find it in himself to call someone by their name, the most basic of decency.
Hahaha that's hilarious and people who get bent out of shape over that have no business on a site.
It may be different since Iâm a rig welder, but if someone talks to one of us like that you usually have to fight that guy.
This is a Tacklebox job
Re-delegation is a legitimate worksite skill
only addition I'd make to the gas station part is after someone says "yeah, grab me a monster and a 5 hour".... you have have to ask what color monster they want.... not flavor... what color... also applies to powerade
As a Tyler that was only ever called Taylor and Kyle on site. This is accurate.
No way!đ đ . My husband works as a waiter, his name is Keith, but he ALWAYS gets called Kevin!đ€Šââïžđ€Šââïž
Bro what the fuck is with Kyle... Mexicans called me Taylor and everyone else called me kyle
Dude, my name is Taylor and I get called Tyler and Kyle all the damn time đ
Well, my name is Kyle and I get called asshole all the time. What a strange name huh?
same
My husband is an electrician. All the men he works with have the same names: Jim, Bob, Joe, Tom. And Dave. And Tim. Seriously. These are the only names I hear. đ
That is so true
Notice itâs never Trayvonne, Abdul, GeromeâŠâŠ..just gringos and Mexicans. đđ€ŁđȘâïžđšđȘ
Most of my crew is Juan-powerd. Jose and David oversee. And we have more homemade Tacos and Tamales than imaginable, unless we're going to Ojos Locos for lunch.. đ€
my boss was named bill and our warehouse neighboors had a cool dude name dave.
"Tacklebox went to the shitter,"
"Hide his tool bag!"
"Park the backhoe in front of the door!"
"Nail his tool bag to the floor!"
"Steel all the material from his cart!"
"Put trash in his tool box!"
Pump some liquid nails in his tool bags
Grab the hot sauce out the truck and rub it all over his steering wheel
Sneak up behind him and toe nail his boot sole to the floor with the framing gun.
Lmfao, I got ratchet strapped in a shitter on an airport runway, hundreds of feet away from anyone else, at night. I had to fucking pry myself out of the top half of the door
@@mards2479 lol that's awesome. I was on a high rise job where they have those half shitters. This apprentice got in to take a shit (rookie move). Once he sat down we pushed the shitter to the man lift and called the operator "down on 20" lol he was screaming the whole time.
@@mattdg1981 hahaha dang you guys ain't messing around. I seen two guys fight cause the one guy hit his new boots with pink upside spray paint. I can imagine what would happen with a nail gun lol
"Drop a rock in the vent stack!!"
Definitely felt the nickname one. On my first day a boilermaker said âyou need a nickname.... Iâm gonna call you Fudge.â 6 years and two companies later I am still Fudge.
"I've still done more work than you" that one is universal for any job.
Not just hazing the new guy... hazing everyone even the boss if it comes to that
Yeah nobody is safe on a job site
Its a great story to make a guy quit in the first week. EPIC 5hit
Especially the boss
@@jonwheeler5991 he gets it almost as bad as the new guy
@@jonwheeler5991 facts
Forgot the âIâm only 35 but Iâve been doing this for 20 yearsâ and âI donât give a damn what those drawings sayâ
@Xx BigBoss xX me too đ€Ł
Damn right!! I'm 39 and have been doing construction for 22 years. No lie...đ€Łđ€Łđ
After about 6 months everybody's been doing it twenty years
We need more construction videos. They are literally the best.
Everybody's got that one lunchbox in their car from when they actually brought lunch 3 weeks ago still full of the Tupperware your girl has been looking for, an empty pack of smokes, and a crushed can cause youre gonna scrap those when you "get a chance". The other cooler's always got a 6 pack ready, 3 handfuls of ice, and the shop rag you lay over them for insulation because of that cracked lid you got trying to sit on it during break 4 summers ago. Cause no one uses years, they use their least favorite season as a measuring tool for time. And it's always either 2 or 5 of them ago when you're trying to remember when you did that one job for that bombshell blonde. Now what the fuck happened to my pencil? Tacklebox!!
And every time you see that empty pack of smokes, you check to see if there's one in it. There isn't. You still don't throw it away.
@@johnjohnson9100 nothing more depressing than shaking a pack of smokes and only hearing tobacco flakes dance on the bottomđ
and a banana peel
Lol good times.
Lol I swear I cant keep a pencil to save my life had the same hammer for 15 years tape has no paint on the underside ..brand new pencil after every break spent more on those than all my tools over the years
âCanât have 2 Timâs so we call him Tomâ.
We had 2 mikes on our crew one time and we literally called one of them âMike alsoâ đ
I was "Matt 2" for a while, then I became "Strong Matt"
we had 2 mikes...so one of them was called mikemike
Good one! đ
I am referred to as steve 2 or steve also
We once had four Mikes working with us. The first one, we called Blue. The rest were Mike 2, Mike 3 and Mike 4. Eventually we got a new super named Mike, so we called him Fake Mike.
haha I went from construction/mill work to a research lab and boy let me tell you, there was quite the learning curve on proper etiquette while at work.
I got fired from three office jobs before I was able to make a similar transition myself. lol
I really wish Charlie Berens was Tacklebox it would've been so funny
We just got a new guy at work and itâs exactly like this...
@Dillon Bishop maybeđ
@@CatFaceJake đ
Tacklebox...
FNG fucking new guy
I'm like three months in, but they stopped fucking with me by the end of the first week lol. When I'm half the size and rip cabinets off the wall like it's nothing I got the respect quick.
It's always good times to see 2 new guys trying to use the seniority card on each other
Or the 2nd or 3rd year hand trying to tell the FNG about how it used to be âback in the dayâ at the company.
@@drewfuller6762 So true!
"Ive been here 4 months!"..."Ive been here 6!
I've been with this company for a decade and was transferred to a new building. The FNG calls out all proud "low man takes out the trash." He volunteered himself. Little POS.
@@Rob-- That's hilarious!
I love the "tacklebox look away." It shows concern for the new guy.
âProbably driving around thatâs all he doesâ đđđ yes they do say that about me
No, TackleboxâŠthey donât.
I work at Kwik trip and all I see early in the morning is construction workers getting their coffee, chew, and some snacks to start the day
I was with a guy mowing lawns and he'd always stop off at a Holiday to get a Dr. Pepper and Marlboro Reds. Every single morning...and he would smoke the whole pack by 6:00 PM.
That's all we need
Thank you for your service! :)
Itâs incredible how accurate this is.
When asked how much of a gap do you have on your side the new guy answered "about three centimeters" and now six years later he's still known as "Metric man" lol
"Tacklebox look away. This is going to get ugly" lmao sparing the new guy đ
If you ever hear go get the board stretcher, do what I did go find a building to smoke behind for about 35 minutes, poor some water in your hand, flick some on your face and walk back out of breath and be like, "I've been all over the jobsite and I still can't find it"
Just like the copper diometer in the backseat. (We didnt have backseats but it still worked)
Tell him to go his fucking self and bring back the blue sky hook on the way
Tell him to go grab a bucket of steam from the boiler room
You think like I do!
âCut it three times and itâs still too short!â
You mean too long
@@commandershepard7110 joke went over someoneâs head.
I have been hearing that all my life. Lol
As an industrial electrician I can honestly this is the most accurate video depiction of construction workers ever... especially with that specific kind of monster
As I sip on my gas station monster and feel the grit of metal dust sift through my teeth with the cold caffinated goodness, this video hits home
Can't believe you didn't include the guy walking to the porta john yelling at the new guy "come help me lift this"
Or taking a leak behind the truck saying "Its only a wiener"
my first week at the jobsite i was stacking lumber and my coworker told me if it was too heavy for me he could call his wife to do it for me
I got a good laugh out of this. Thank you!
Dont worry I got her number right here
i woulda told you that I'll call your wife to help you
I was at a hot dog stand last week and 6 construction workers were in line. one asked the vendor if there were 'any monsters today' the answer was no and they all left. My husband being one of them.
I was visiting my husband on his lunch.
This was G rated compared to what really goes on. But still died laughing!
Myles' dad is a cement / concrete contractor. Myles worked on the sites growing up. This is pure first hand knowledge. And probably on location at his dad's site! đ
How do you know that? Not trying to come off as rude, just genuinely curious.
@@candidlyopinionated19 yep - podcast I think. I remember him talking about how hard and hot it was doing that in the summers.
@@tinaperez7393 oh cool, didnât know he had a podcast.
@@candidlyopinionated19 i believe him the job site heâs at there sets up a concrete wall
Myles looks like his dad works construction.
Me: zero experience in construction
Also me: lmaoooooo so true
Same!
Dont forget "HR is here, he went around the back quick put your harness on!"
little do they know, Tacklebox is working his way through community college and will be their boss in about 2 years.
Speaking of hands in your pockets my last helpers nickname was âpocketsâ cause well ya know....
That is hilarious! I might use that for my next âhelper.â
Lol we also have a âpocketsâ at my job
Hot pockets is his name bullshitting is his game
My favorite FNG (fâing new guy) years ago was named click-clack on day one because he didnât have steel toes so he had to wear the aluminum toe covers over his boots. He eventually graduated to Pockets and worked his way up to JR Leadman and now full fledged Leadman. Quite the blossomer.
@@mantistoboggan5067 hahaha me too. I think Pockets on job sites is equivalent to Marine Jody
Being the new guy at a construction site, showed up the first week wearing neck gators, got the name chapo from it. No one knows my actual name now itâs just chapo
I loved making nicknames for the new guys. My favorite one was "Magneto" given to a kid that lived down the street from me. He got the job working with me during one summer because his dad worked with us too. Magneto would constantly lose or drop the screws, connectors, anything metal really. Still get a kick telling that story. A good worker.
My nickname was "Light Show". I got it because I was tasked to tie up temp lights down a hall of offices. I got 3 lines up there when the site supervisor comes in the see if it's done and I replied "Are you ready for the light show?" What I didn't know was he was giving a tour of the the progress to the employees who would work in the building. I get the extension cord from the generator, climb up the ladder to the nearest plug from the temp lights - the ends are both female ends. I had to flip the entire light string while everyone else had a good laugh.
As far as hazing goes, If someone was in the portacan too long, I''d tie the door shut with jet line. Not very tight, just enough to get your hand out the door.
I've had many nicknames in my time, but people like my first name too much so nicknames never stick to me. I work telecom, though, and we use low voltage cable scissors all the time (usually just "snips"). A common prank is for guys to take your snips out of your tool belt when you're focused on something, then tape them shut with electrical tape and place them back. Never fails to get a good laugh, be it the first time it ever happens to you or the hundredth.
Iâm just an electrician apprentice and this was so spot on. Gold.
The nickname thing, lol. My husband was known as âanimal.â He worked with one dude called âturboâ, others called âstudlyâ, âpork chopâ, âbrown eyeâ, âmooseâ, âshadyâ, and âjack wagon.â LOL
Brown eye...LMAO
One guy calls me studly where I work.
Llloolllllđ€Ł......Brown eyeđ€Ł
I wired houses for a while this is like watching my past.
â..whatâs so complicated about that? Theyâre brothers, so theyâre sistersâ
Theres a preeeetty big similarity between construction workers culture and military maintenance culture
The accuracy of the random toy drill in the truck thatâs definitely been there for over 2 years
spent 42 years out there, never never wear new boots on a job site, wear them around the house for a couple weeks and get them good & cruddy first
So true
Lol I don't worry about that. I let my experience speak for itself. Journeyman fabricator/ welder here.
@@AdamWallace-pi1bk yeah but to who ever ur working for will see clean boots and maybe think that you have never done this before and not even give u a shot at it
Even if you just got new boots, gotta wear the old ones for the first little bit until everyone knows you then wear the new ones.
What a melt
Worked with an oliver that we called Oscar. Totally accurate. Oliver unfortunately has passed, so this helps remember him fondly. RIP Oliver, gone too soon.
âI can NOT add âtackle boxâ to payroll. What is his LEGAL NAME.â -construction office workers.
âWe got Tim And Ted, both name Tomâ...man that had me going
I worked with 2 other Ryan's on a crew of 5 once. It wasn't pretty
Lol! I bet it wasnât I once worked with with 2 Tylerâs.....one was a girl..so there was that...lol
We had three Mattâs once they all got nicknames
3:47 this is completely accurate. Our tackle box is a guy named Stephen, anytime I get ordered to do some bullshit work I just say ânah thatâs stephen workâ
I've been in the maintenance industry for 22 years a lot of this is very similar You have to have fun makes the day go by
The gas station thing is spot on. Nevermind they could save Money buying it in bulk or at a grocery store.
âTacklebox! Look away!â
Lol! Got me rolling here hoss.
Video was spot on lmao. Only thing youâre missing is lots of cussing. Seems like every other word is a cuss word on our site
Probably get demonetized if he swore a lot.
Yep, wouldnt feel right if im not cussing on the jobsite
Electrician from Michigan here, Holiday lunch is one of my favorite lunches!
"They're brothers so they're sisters" delivery is pretty gold
Boss and crew relationship is the same as a coach and players in high school
Not really. If it's not a boss that's working next to the guys, some of which know just as much as the boss as far as the field work is concerned, then it's a boss that's gone all the time. New guys are generally taught things by the whole crew depending on what he's doing and who he's working with. Maybe more of a "battle plan" type situation, like a unit commander or some such. But not really a "coaching a sports team" type situation. I'm sure I'll get shit, but that's been my experience. I never saw the boss the same way I saw my sports coaches, it's mostly different.
@@maximusdesimus1943 i assume u have worked on sites, so I really canât argue with u. I havenât, and Iâll admit I donât know much about what happens on the sites, but from watching this video it reminded me a lot about my hockey team and coach in high school.
@@AC_VC
That's just my experience though. There are similarities of course. Like a hierarchy. The boss is the boss. I mostly worked on scab crews (non- unionized). I know unionized and government funded is a while different world, something I can only speculate about. Imo, scab crews are more lenient on hiring practices, up to the boss who he puts on. Felons. Illegals. Seasoned. Green thumbs. Whatever.
@@maximusdesimus1943 oh, thanks for explaining this stuff, I donât know much about what happens with crews and stuff

Nothing like a honey bun and a monster to get the day started!
We need a whole gastation video on its own.
If you're the new guy and no one is fuckin' with ya,you're on the way out!
Very accurate
As a new guy in the field (1 year) I agree with everything. Working in the field is awesome and the banter is fun
My dads been a construction worker his whole life and now hes the boss man, when i was younger i used to ride in his work truck with him and listen to him complain about how useless his laborers were hahaha
Funniest part was he was talking about his boss not doing work while not doing work :D
This explains why my house is shit.
Was it designed by David Weekley?
We refer to him as David Fuckin' Weekley.
"Our team. David Weekely Homes strives to bring out the best in our people and provide a challenging work environment....."
"Challenging Work environment" - Yeah, y'all forgot to provide tape measures for most construction didn't ya!?
Is this challenging enough!?!?!?!
This video is missing 2 things... always needs a ride cuz DUIâs
And heavy nicotine addictions
Lolol I always tell our guys man you guys are in court more than your at work.
Want to be paid in cash cause baby momma wants child support
We used to have a guy that would kill a 36 pack of Natty Light each night. Dude was a straight up alcoholic. If you gave him a ride home you'd have to stop at the nearest store so he could fuel up with beer b/c he was close to DT's. He always liked riding home with me b/c I'd let him drink on the ride home. A lot of the other guys wouldn't b/c it was a company truck.
He used to take a styrofoam cup from the gas station, put a beer can in it, surround it with ice, and then put on the lid and a straw so he could drink at work. Dude would drink beer through a friggin' straw. We got called in one weekend on an emergency roof job and he's so drunk that he can't even stand up. I never understood how someone could live like that. But, he was always a good worker and knew his shit.
Hahahaha so true. Had a boss once who got a DUI, so he bought an electric scooter to get around. When he got his license back he sold it to one of the guys who couldn't afford a car because he had child support for like 4 kids. THAT guy got in a drunk fight with his girlfriend one night, took the scooter out, and got a DUI on the scooter.
@@oldscratch3535 thats fuckin nuts. I cant imagine 36 beers. I drink 15 on days I work and maaaaybe 18-20 on days off. that dude insane
Talking about the Boss then him pulling up is the most realistic thing
I worked with an alcoholic that got in trouble for passing out on a customers porch, a crackhead that fell through a roof, a rage monster that pointed his gun out the window at a guy that cut him off. I love working outdoors.
This guy just finds some random construction site in his neighborhood on a Sunday. Proceeds to film for 30 mins
I died at the Trevor one.
