Annoying Things Guys Do On Site

Perhaps a little dust caused a hay fever

 

If it did you are in the wrong job

Mick in the absence of tissues in the cab would you like any of your lads to demonstrate the deployment of a Paddy`s hanky

Yes Bob they are better off where they are in the House of Commons running the country

If it did you are in the wrong job

 

But the job description said 12 hours per week, very little physical effort required and minimum earning potential of 50k per year

Not really an irritation on site but when people contact me looking for work and I get back to them immediately then they don't reply even though I chase them twice.

Happened three times last week.

Lack of general helpfulness I find often on construction sites. Zombies! The let you drive by in a sign written company vehicle. They are expecting you. You don't know where abouts they want you. Or who your looking for.

It's all down to idiots, selfishness, ignorance lack of..... planning, team effort and poor communication.

I'm the other way. I will help someone who is lost etc as it helps them, gets them out the way then everyone can crack on.

 

But there's another problem. Who wants to crack on? They are paid by the hour whatever they do mentality, their days drag though.

Customers who hang around. I had one today on a Leylandii takedown who I swear just kept popping out of the ground like a mole to watch, take videos, ask that everything over 6in gets cut into lengths for firewood, ask about every phase of the job.

 

Do you think we were offered a cuppa? Kettle must have broken, I think.

I hate staff that try to shove 13" into an 8" hole.

It's a problem I've had since becoming a man but some groundies apply this to feeding the chipper! Lol!

It really winds me up when I see people using long reach hedge cutters trying to cut through branches as thick as their bloody arms. Then they wonder why the gears are knackered. :-/

People who ask to borrow your good tools. Not really "on site" but that does it for me. Thanks a lot for forcing me to say NO, making me feel like the Grinch and ruining my day. Being from a culture with an indirect communication style I can't just say - "Sorry, no can do." I have developed a rambling waffle which seems to work, involving "It's the one tool I never lend to anybody you see, and I know you'd take care of it but then I'd be obliged to lend it to other people know what I mean - and its so fragile, I mean I already broke it a couple of times myself etc etc...."

Hair on your chest? You may need some on your gonads! ;-) grow a pair lad & tell them to jog on... Or tell them sorry but I never lend kit out, it's my livelihood I've worked hard for it +I'll most likely need it tomorrow etc. If they're a good mate then work for beer & bbq, if not tell them you'd be more than happy to price up the job for 'em :-)
