Not with me, cuz I go hard. I'll take ALL OF us of down with me. Got no problem. I don't got a fuck you attitude. I got a fuck me attitude. Meaning I''ll fuck myself to fuck everyone else harder.
Roscoe reminds me of this old IW I was partnered with about 15 yrs ago. We were at a shut down in a paper mill and had to do some welding outside... we were standing underneath a grated catwalk. Right as we are about to start a laborer came out an started hosing down the grating without bothering to check what was under it... got the metal we were working on soaked. So I told the old guy we'd have to wait for shıt to dry out because the water wass dripping down on the area pretty heavily. Old guy says "Fųçķ that..Im gonna hold up this plate and your gonna stitch it as fast as you can." I said, "Dude... thats gonna shock the shıt outta you..." He said, " Shút up and do it. " Ok. 🤷♀️ He held it up and I stitched as fast as I could... and I could tell he was gettin zapped HARD but he wouldn't take his hands down. We finished up and he shook it off like a champ and we went for a coffee break 😂
I learned the hard way about using channel locks to hold chisels and wedges and such. I almost took off my own thumb I did take most of it off but they sowed it back on
"There is likely a better tool for this job. Unfortunately, you are all I have to work with at the moment. Now clamp your jaw on the framework and I'll have this welded shut before your nosehairs start smoking."
Yeah, I'd be skipping my happy ass straight over to the tool trailer and even doing a little dance on the way back knowing I no longer had to hold my hand in harms way of a 20lb sledge! LoL
"Wait, hold on. Why do want me to close my eyes!?!" "Well... listen here. You *damn* sure don't want _me_ to close _my_ eyes while I swingin' this here sledgehammer, but I suppose you can choose which one of us does if'n you want to.
..."skip back like the little girl you're acting like" killed me! Reminds me when a pipe foreman would tell is crew that if this job's too hard for you I'll just call your wife and have her come do it.
And all the companies talk about a bunch a safety then do the opposite, international paper being one and pilgrims being another. International paper is a liberal nut job company now's Now Monterey mushrooms owned by Iranians actually does care about safety, they just have people that don't or wanted payouts
As a seasoned millwright (Old guy) the best thing I could tell a new guy was "You ain't worked here long enough to be bitter". Also old guys have two distinct hands... 1 swings the hammer and the other holds the punch. It also explains the extra lumps on my punch holding thumb.
I have never not just held that wedge. But I grew up around master tradesman that I honestly trusted way more than one should. And I would do literally anything they asked on a job site as long as its work related. I learned more from those guys then I did my entire school career
Yup when removing frozen and compacted debris from track frames my partner would hold the bat as I swing the sledge hammer worked most of the time the other times well.........
Dang! How many times I gotta hear them kinda conversations on the job every stinking day! It's enough to make a man wanna "R-U-N-N-O-F-T!' And them two swigs to get the smell out your mouth, when you come out the outhouse...? Hell, I was into half a bottle before I figured that out! But it did make my day go a little Smookther!
Reminds me when me and grandpa changed a tire off a rim and put another one on. i had to hold two tire bead breakers while he was hitting the tire with the tire hammer to get it on. I thought he was gonna take out my knee 😂
Roscoe is the equivalent of papa yelling at you to hold the fuckin light still then repeat by asking the question. "Can you hold the fucking light still who taught you how to hold a light boy"
OMG 😂😂 This is soo my older brother and I when he got me my first construction job & I ended up on HIS crew!!! Lmao!! Needless to say, it wasn't very long before I was the one that caved & requested a transfer. Not to a diff crew, oh no... To a whole new jobsite!!! 😂when superintd asked me why I wanted transfer that he figured me being little sister, I'd want to stay where big bro was, i just looked him dead in the eye & said, "He was 15. I was 13. He literally tried to run me over with a riding mower, blades engaged because I told him our mother sent me to finish the yard that everyone had to do equal share of work. He refused which ticked me off knowing I was about to get stuck with a crappier chore and I told him okay. That's fine. At least when she & dad see what a shitty you've done you can't blame it on me! Again!! & That's how an old pile of bricks saved my life & put this scar on my brow bone & saved big bro from life imprisonment. Now, about that transfer request???.....Hmmm, what good ole days those were!
Pov1: New guy takes the gaslight and gets both hands smashed to pieces. Pov2: new guy uses his brain. Gets the holders. And watches Rosco miss like 12 times giving him crap each time about holding it with his hands when he can hit anything😅
At the mill the bosses bought us all cold chisels with big rubber shields on them to protect your hand. Then that wasn’t safe enough so thy got chisel holders. Yeah it’s a joke and makes it less safe. Just man up and grab it like a man and send it home.
