You know your a Tree Surgeon when...

[Hollands]

When your 3 year old knows the difference between a gum tree and a silver birch

 

When you talk about tree jobs to people and they dont understand how awesome you were

 

When you see a tree in the street you immediateley start mentally dismantling it

[Mark Cattell]

When your wife makes you strip naked on the door step and brushes you down before you end up

[felixthelogchopper]

Your list of must-haves for your new house includes, at the insistence of SWMBO, a conservatory or utility room to take off your work gear.

when your girlfriend knows what a "prussik loop" is...

 

you "daisy chain" everything- belts, washing line, extension cables, shoelaces...

 

everyone at your local knows the latin name of the tree outside...

[tommer9]

When you knacker the lift pump on the landy once every couple of years with sawdust....

[lil'chris]

you kerb the car evry time you drive past a guy useing a saw

 

you look a guy pruning his trees with a handsaw and a step lader turn to your misses and say "he'll kill that tree"

 

when your misses can recite the latin name of evry tree you pass

 

you have the "nptc qualified" sticker onthe back of your car

[lil'chris]

when you have to use the airline blow all the dust from your mobile phone

 

when you sneeze and it looks like someone just blew up a hover bag

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

BORING!

 

 

 

BORING BORING BORING!

 

 

how about,

 

you leave a trail of sawdust around the house,

 

You cant stop looking at trees when your driving around, and say to the wife / partner 'terrible work that'

 

you have erotic dreams about climbing equipment

 

you keep your car keys on a carrabiner

 

your chainsaw boots are the envy of all the local Goths in the pub

 

You spend 'quality time' on arbtalk:001_tongue:

 

That line made me chuckle, propper funny image in my mind!

 

you know your a tree surgeon when your stood in the que at the local shop at lunchtime and suddenly realise your crawling with bugs which you procced to pluck off yourself only to find the people behind you have "moved back"!
