    I don't know anyone who wants it banned. I just know a lot of people that don't want it glorified.
    I personally like it. I like to know who the stupid ignorant strong-armed robbery committing sloots are ahead of time. Saves me the trouble of figuring it out later.

    Oh man I can tell already the guy I'm gonna be working with in another couple weeks is gonna be annoying as hell.

    Got a maintenance job at manufacturing place and have been training for last few weeks, eventually will go to different shift that splits with other existing ones. Well I'm finding out the guy on the afternoon shoft is gonna be a headache. Was doin some work today and the work benches in the shop are alwasy a disaster, so before i started i cleaned up and put tools away. Did what I had to do and put stuff back up where it is supposed to be. So this guy comes in and wants to know where the grinder are.
    Me: in the cabinet
    Him: why, they get used almost every day
    M: because I needed the work bench and it was full of ****.
    H: so just set them on top of welder
    M: I was using welder so what good would that do?
    H: well then you needed a grinder?
    M: Yea, one not all three and then I put it back so there's room to work on other stuff. Maybe don't be a lazy ass and put tools away when you're done.

    Idk if I'm so much ocd but when there's tools and trash just laying around in a area you work in it annoys the hell of of me. There's just **** piled up everywhere right now in that shop and every bench is jist packed full of stuff. I don't understand these other guys seem like they'd just as soon work on the floor then clean off the work benches.

    ^^^^ You are not ocd when it comes to putting things where they belong. Many years ago when I was going through maintenance training we were taught that, "The job is not finished until the tools are cleaned up and put away". This meant your work area had to be clean as well.

    That other guy is a slob. It may even show in is work and work ethic.

    I don't work like in a blue collar job, but I am the same way about my work bench at home. Nothing pisses me off more than taking the time to clean it up and coming home to find my wife and kids made a mess of it throwing their toys all over. I built a box for the toys, put them back where they belong.

    That guy is a slob and probably does sloppy work.

    People who do not read emails and then complain they do not know what is going on. I just got read receipts on emails that I sent out two and four months ago. :deadhorse::rant:

    Received my monthly statement from the Lumberyard, higher than Willy Nelson. 2×4's and 2×6's, I could buy 2×12's cheaper and rip them to size. I purposely waited to open it until this morning bc I was having a great day yesterday.

    Not that it is bothering us, we buy OSB in bulk and I think at last count had close to 400 bunks but I saw at lowes the other day that 1/2" OSB, normally $9-11 a sheet, $39.48 a sheet.

    Went in to town this morning to get saw gas. I neglected to bring my glasses. I get to the C store and I go in to buy the 2 cycle oil and prepay for 1 gallon of gas. I asked the young lass if I could prepay for the gas with the oil so it is all 1 transaction. She said sure but she had that unsure look, she asked me how much that was, I said 1 gallon she said how much is that? I found it a little odd that a person who works at a gas station would ask me how much a product costs but I was eager to get done so I ran out to the pump and told her that a gallon of gas is $2.79. I should have known better but I asked the lass for a favor could you look at the chart on the oil bottle and tell me how many ounces of oil I needed to add to 1 gallon of gas mixed at 50-1. It was a rather painful display and bless her she tried, I finally said tell you what I will just add the oil when I get home and have my glasses on. My rant is old man you know you need your damn glasses don't leave the house without them you never know when you are going to need to read.
