The first two are funny, then you smack the apprentice upside their head and make them fix it. The last one, not so much. There’s skilled craftsman, then there are ram rod, back door rats, playing dress up, company effers. Expecting ceiling tiles and drywall to cover their shame. Like dead bodies in John Gacey’s floorboards. Well, the exception, John Gacey took pride in his work.

I work at Walmart. A few years ago we were getting switched out from fluorescent to LED. One guy forgot his extension cord so he went and bought a brand new one off the shelf. Awhile later, I’ll never forget this, the supervisor sees the bright ass Orange cord on his scissor lift and walks up to him and says, “Where’d you get that OSHA approved extension cord? You think you’re better than the rest of us?” I died laughing
@@kevboost It’s really just trades work banter. The super was giving his employee a hard time because he left his extension cord elsewhere and had to buy a new one.
Ones we use a lot is. “Can’t see it from my house” “ engineers need at least five years in the field” “ These prints are useless we going to have to just make them work” “ it all looks good on paper” “ we will have to do that after we get inspection” “If it was easy everyone would be doing it” “ I hit my head more with the hard hat on then off”
“Don’t these guys see the fucking flaggers?!” “That’s not how I woulda done it” “We were just following the prints” “I could back that thing up a gnat’s ass and never touch the wings” “That locator didn’t mark shit” “That shits tighter than a dicks hatband. Definitely cross-threaded” Also worth noting that anyone in construction no longer has a girlfriend. They got a ol’ lady now
"We ain't building a pianey!!" "Got 'er split, licked, and dicked" "there's always time to do it right a 2nd time." "Long as YOU can sleep at night"....then plenty of expletives of course
I had a foreman on a job one time who carried this crayon with him for when it would rain he’d draw a circle and say if I see two raindrops were calling it a day, dude would put up his square and get it all nice and lined up with the sun like a sundial , look at it really close and then come to the conclusion it’s beer thirty 😂
We called that a Rain Turtle. Sky would get grey, holler at one of the helpers to " initiate project Rain Turtle". He'd draw a big circle and keep an eye on it
Told this new guy that every time he snapped back a tap measure it lost a quarter inch and to keep track of how many times he did it and tell our foreman at the end of the day for inventory. Dude almost had a panic attack and nervously told me he lost count towards the end of the day 💀💀💀💀
TarantuLando CalCuLingus nice handle, first off. Get your tape out. The hook is 1/8” out from the first 1/16”. Now, after wear, the rivets that attach the hook to the tape become worn, that’s another 1/16” to 1/8”. Now you’re off a 1/4”. Burn an inch. Do the math, if you’re in a long run you won’t b out a foot.
"Nobody's going to see that shit anyway" Electricians, allover the world, while hiding the most monstrous "solutions" behind a bit of badly cut plastic 🤣
My father used to run a truck fleet back in the 1960's. It meant frequent visits to garages and body shops so that I was exposed to some colourful language at times when a visit to the garage was done after school pick-up. I was always sternly warned not to repeat any language heard at home in a family setting or elsewhere. Of course in later life in school rows or fights the language heard in my tender youth would erupt from my mouth with disturbing facility.
I worked construction on my early 20's, between college semesters, on several different countries, and let me tell you, your videos are 100% correct. I also was living my best days without even knowing about it.
my parents did/do and they use that all the time. also "close enough only works for horseshoes and hand grenades." the government is nothing if not contradictory.
"Good enough for the girls we go with." "Measure twice, cut once..." "Finishing crew will cover it up" "It's about Beer:30, lets get out of here" "Hit it (the nail) with your purse big boy" while unloading the lumber delivery, to the driver "Did you guys save all of the straight boards for your mom's house?"
"it's in there like a hair in a biscuit" "Tighter than nun's buns" "That's a nice vice. I think I saw Bob the Builder use that same one" "Guy can't see anything, can't hear anything. It's like we told Helen Keller to back the trailer up here." All sayings I've heard on job sites.
My old boss used to get pissed off at every little thing and see how far he could throw whatever was closest by, so long as it wasn’t too expensive to replace.
"Waiting on the electricians" can't count how many times we've said that exact phrase, and it's true!! Always on lunch break for some reason, or standing around talking for an hour haha
@@TIYX straight up blue collar shit. That’s it. If you go to work and realize that you clocking in is already an osha violation waiting to happen , then you know this language trade or not.
Had a engineer in the oil patch fresh out of college that would say "Well according to the computer modeling this plant should run" and I told him "I could take that same computer modeling and make the Mississippi river flow upside down and sideways", I have no idea why he didn't like me!!!
As a mixer driver, I agree. No day is complete without getting yelled at by the very “patient” concrete fellas, or dispatchers who over schedule loads😂😂
Hahaha!! You know it brother. I barely check my oil in the morning, and it’s “I need to get you right out”,or there’s some defect on the truck-“can you take a full load anyway, it’s only a few minutes out, I’ll call the mechanic later” 😹😜
I really hope that you are a hand to understand why. Then you already know, office folk are what leads to it. “I’ve never done your trade, but my book tells me you’re doing it wrong.” . It’s annoyingly condescending. I’m sure you’re aware of.
Tighter than a bull's butt in fly season. One of my dear old Granny's favorites. And, of course, "He's full of hay that's already been through the bull." She had a million of them.

One thing I learned when I worked for the sheet metal union... The welders don't like it when you touch their 10 gallon water cooler that looks like it's out there for everyone 😂
Most construction workers I've met are the nicest guys, most down to earth and honest. Sure they can be vulgar, but people who swear more are usually the most honest.
The clipboard and the fictitious inspection was the one in my last place of work. I learned to volunteer for any inspection and safety role going as it got me time away from real work and having to fix shoddy products. If you could reduce a 12 hour shift by at least 1 hour it was worth it.
I don't work construction but I work in a shop. I once had an old timer at my current job tell me - "If you ever run out of work just walk around with a clipboard and a pen and pretend like you are writing stuff down to make them think you're busy."
@@classicpontiac37 Identical to stuff done in my last place of work, a non-unionised and very toxic workplace for junior staff. Always had to "look busy" and put out "team player" optics. This was the cause of nervous breakdowns that I did not recognise at the time as such. I received approval for a voluntary severance package and in the last few weeks I could sit back and take notice of the industrial scale dodging and work avoidance that was going on at all levels in that hellish workplace.
@@jgdooley2003 I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I think you may have taken my last comment the wrong way. I don't work construction BTW. I actually work for a very good small family owned business. The old timer i spoke of is a guy in his late 70's who still comes in on occasion to help out our shop if we get overloaded with work. One day he saw me sweeping the floors because I ran out of work and he said to me what I said in my previous comment as a joke. I just laughed because I knew he was just messing around with me. Im in my late 30's and I've worked for union and non union companies since I was in my early 20's. I've found that the key to success in my working career is your attitude, having a good work ethic and not being self entitled. Prove to your employer that you are one of the hardest workers they have and in the long run they will compensate you for your hard work. I don't mean to sound preachy. Im just trying to pass along a little friendly advice that I have learned over the years. Good luck!
"Homeowner said you're doing that wrong" wayyyyy underrated comment. So many homeowners come out and try to micromanage shit when they haven't built a thing in their life
I worked construction for many many years. This is the exact language construction workers use. If we are not finished with our job we blame it on another trade lol.
I’m from England and work in construction, having an excuse for absolutely every and b*tching about the gaffer (boss) is spot on and I’m glad to see that “can’t see if from my house” is universal however a few we like in the north west of England specifically are, “If it looks right it is right” however it usually isn’t though, you’re just sick of trying to get it right. “Can’t see it from the motorway”, of a similar ilk to can’t see if from my house with the motorway is our equivalent to the freeway or an interstate. “What time is it?”, because we’ve been working for ten minutes so hours must have passed, right? “We going for a brew?”, which is usually said ten-fifteen minutes before it actually is brew/break time and followed by an extra slow stroll to the canteen. “Bent as a dogs hind leg”, something should straight and definitely isn’t. “Tight as a nun’s c*nt”, I think that’s fairly self explanatory. “Work smarter not harder”, an on the tools reference, which is a popular social media page in the UK, worth checking out for though if you that would like an insight into the sillier side of British construction. “Job and knock or what?”, a hopeful attempt to finish early but get paid for the day if you finish your task. Referring to anyone who takes time off either organised or not as a “ducker”. I’m sure there’s a million more that I’ve forgotten about but those are a few that come to mind. Great video, loved it, keep up the good work.
I'm an electrician and I can't tell you how many times I have walked up hearing something similar...our job is VERY difficult but the pros that know how to trouble shoot shit and fix the unfixable your paying for our knowledge not how long we work 🤣. Good times though most of the time on a job site. Definitely a lot of joking around. Only way to pass the time lol...
My old boss use to always tell me “I ONLY had 3 and a half years left of college”. Also every morning “Wake Up Ron you only got 40 more years of this shit”. Now I only have 31…
The dislikes are from electricians who saw this on their break between 2nd and 3rd lunch.
Me and my supervisor had a 90 minute smoko yesterday

The universal construction love language
Our son is a year into his electrician apprenticeship and after watching this clip I understand why he likes his job so much.
Ones we use a lot is.
“Can’t see it from my house”
“ engineers need at least five years in the field”
“ These prints are useless we going to have to just make them work”
“ it all looks good on paper”
“ we will have to do that after we get inspection”
“If it was easy everyone would be doing it”
“ I hit my head more with the hard hat on then off”
“We’ll have to that after inspection” is words to live by 😂
"Does it like fine and will it not leak? Then fucking nail it".
“Don’t these guys see the fucking flaggers?!”
“That’s not how I woulda done it”
“We were just following the prints”
“I could back that thing up a gnat’s ass and never touch the wings”
“That locator didn’t mark shit”
“That shits tighter than a dicks hatband. Definitely cross-threaded”
Also worth noting that anyone in construction no longer has a girlfriend. They got a ol’ lady now
"We ain't building a pianey!!" "Got 'er split, licked, and dicked" "there's always time to do it right a 2nd time." "Long as YOU can sleep at night"....then plenty of expletives of course
"Make it nice, do it twice"
"We're building Timex, not Rolex"
"Probably need to adjust that. Looks as straight as Elton John"

"another day another dollar", "I'll be good at about 4 o'clock, when I have a cold beer in my hand". How you doing today Mike? "I'm here".
Used on the daily here in the corporate world as well

As a mixer driver, I agree. No day is complete without getting yelled at by the very “patient” concrete fellas, or dispatchers who over schedule loads😂😂
@@GHOSTRIDERHASS88 lol!!!! As soon as you leave the plant, dispatch squawks on the radio. “You bout on your way back?”
Hahaha!! You know it brother. I barely check my oil in the morning, and it’s “I need to get you right out”,or there’s some defect on the truck-“can you take a full load anyway, it’s only a few minutes out, I’ll call the mechanic later” 😹😜
Thanks bring my PTSD back with my father’s famous, “Rick, you move any slower the vultures will get you” line. Much appreciated.
This is the greatest!! Funny af I can’t stop watching it 😂🤣😂
As a drywaller, "If ya got'em smoke'em" was one I heard a lot.
"Livin' the dream. One nightmare at a time." 🤣 I'm dead now.
The swearing was just painfully accurate.
I really hope that you are a hand to understand why. Then you already know, office folk are what leads to it. “I’ve never done your trade, but my book tells me you’re doing it wrong.” . It’s annoyingly condescending. I’m sure you’re aware of.
One of my favorites from my blue collar days was "like a sore Peter, cant beat it"
My favorite line my foreman said was “Sit on your head so you can give your ass a break”
Tighter than a bull's butt in fly season. One of my dear old Granny's favorites. And, of course, "He's full of hay that's already been through the bull." She had a million of them.
Might not be appropriate for most but my grandfather and father always said "tighter than a nun's cunt" 😂 and now I say it all the damn time haha
"looks great from my house"
"Must've been made on a Friday"
"Tape is 2 inches"
"You'll have that on a big job"
"How we got here isn't important"
"I'll plumb some till the plumber come"
I work as an electrician on industrial job sites. We use a lot of those sayings. Great video
My favorite response to the wife asking when il be home is 20 seconds after you see my headlights pull into the driveway
You missed the part where there's one guy working with 8 other guys standing around, half of which have a cigarette hanging out of their mouth.
This is well done. One note- Homeowners are home-Os.
13 years experience as a construction worker, and a few of these saying are new to me!
My saying “You move any slower they’re going to draw a chalk line around you”
It’s effective.
“The painters will caulk you to the wall” my dads favorite..
“Livin the dream one nightmare at a time.” lol
I am so using this every single fucking day from now on.
Yes, to all this… I think you meant to put in there “blame the other trades”
Or if you're on a big commercial site blame the other companies for being stupid and slow.
@@johncantrell9993 on my LIFE that’s the truth!!!!
This was REALLY funny!
My brother is a plumber! Gotta show this to him!!
As a construction worker. This hits close to home. Very accurate.
This is incredibly accurate! We really do talk like that! I'm tearing with laughter!
One thing I learned when I worked for the sheet metal union... The welders don't like it when you touch their 10 gallon water cooler that looks like it's out there for everyone 😂
That's right bring your own fuckin water
@@seanlucy6432 Calm the fuck down Lucy.
Most construction workers I've met are the nicest guys, most down to earth and honest. Sure they can be vulgar, but people who swear more are usually the most honest.
I learned, when you finish you assignment for the day, carry a bucket or tool around the job site in between hiding in the shade.
The clipboard and the fictitious inspection was the one in my last place of work. I learned to volunteer for any inspection and safety role going as it got me time away from real work and having to fix shoddy products. If you could reduce a 12 hour shift by at least 1 hour it was worth it.
I don't work construction but I work in a shop. I once had an old timer at my current job tell me - "If you ever run out of work just walk around with a clipboard and a pen and pretend like you are writing stuff down to make them think you're busy."
@@classicpontiac37 Identical to stuff done in my last place of work, a non-unionised and very toxic workplace for junior staff. Always had to "look busy" and put out "team player" optics. This was the cause of nervous breakdowns that I did not recognise at the time as such.
I received approval for a voluntary severance package and in the last few weeks I could sit back and take notice of the industrial scale dodging and work avoidance that was going on at all levels in that hellish workplace.
@@jgdooley2003 I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I think you may have taken my last comment the wrong way. I don't work construction BTW. I actually work for a very good small family owned business. The old timer i spoke of is a guy in his late 70's who still comes in on occasion to help out our shop if we get overloaded with work. One day he saw me sweeping the floors because I ran out of work and he said to me what I said in my previous comment as a joke. I just laughed because I knew he was just messing around with me. Im in my late 30's and I've worked for union and non union companies since I was in my early 20's. I've found that the key to success in my working career is your attitude, having a good work ethic and not being self entitled. Prove to your employer that you are one of the hardest workers they have and in the long run they will compensate you for your hard work. I don't mean to sound preachy. Im just trying to pass along a little friendly advice that I have learned over the years. Good luck!
Already know it’s gonna be a great video. Love the channel keep it up 👍👍
Do a "auto mechanic" version one day, love the vids always crack me up
"Homeowner said you're doing that wrong" wayyyyy underrated comment. So many homeowners come out and try to micromanage shit when they haven't built a thing in their life
I worked construction for many many years. This is the exact language construction workers use. If we are not finished with our job we blame it on another trade lol.
#2 is the most accurate. Honestly, Myles was a little light though on the language. Haha.
Yep. I know it’s in the other construction worker video but this would be perfect if he was holding a Monster most of the time.
Hahaha. I watch every one of your clips and this is by far the best. My God what a laugh.
The homeowner bits are incredibly accurate
I know just the guy at work to start calling him tackle box tomorrow. By lunchtime everyone else will too lol.
“Can’t see it from my house “. 40 years in the trades. Lol
Or "looks good from my house"
I’m from England and work in construction, having an excuse for absolutely every and b*tching about the gaffer (boss) is spot on and I’m glad to see that “can’t see if from my house” is universal however a few we like in the north west of England specifically are,
“If it looks right it is right” however it usually isn’t though, you’re just sick of trying to get it right.
“Can’t see it from the motorway”, of a similar ilk to can’t see if from my house with the motorway is our equivalent to the freeway or an interstate.
“What time is it?”, because we’ve been working for ten minutes so hours must have passed, right?
“We going for a brew?”, which is usually said ten-fifteen minutes before it actually is brew/break time and followed by an extra slow stroll to the canteen.
“Bent as a dogs hind leg”, something should straight and definitely isn’t.
“Tight as a nun’s c*nt”, I think that’s fairly self explanatory.
“Work smarter not harder”, an on the tools reference, which is a popular social media page in the UK, worth checking out for though if you that would like an insight into the sillier side of British construction.
“Job and knock or what?”, a hopeful attempt to finish early but get paid for the day if you finish your task.
Referring to anyone who takes time off either organised or not as a “ducker”.
I’m sure there’s a million more that I’ve forgotten about but those are a few that come to mind.
Great video, loved it, keep up the good work.
I'm an electrician and I can't tell you how many times I have walked up hearing something similar...our job is VERY difficult but the pros that know how to trouble shoot shit and fix the unfixable your paying for our knowledge not how long we work 🤣. Good times though most of the time on a job site. Definitely a lot of joking around. Only way to pass the time lol...
You can't pass the time while out on lunch?
Please do Dads at Kids Birthday Parties
My old boss use to always tell me “I ONLY had 3 and a half years left of college”. Also every morning “Wake Up Ron you only got 40 more years of this shit”. Now I only have 31…
I literally had a foreman who did all of these, this was great!😂
You hit all the greatest one liners except “looks great from my house”
