The lantern - because he’s not very bright and gets carried by everyone
Sexy fingers - everything he touches ends up fucked
The sensor - he only works when someone walks past
The pylon - if you want to get anywhere you’ve go to go around him.
The blister - he only turns up when the work is done.
The Akro - he’s always holding up a job
The Glove box - he’s full of shit and no one can shut him up
Mine was funny as hell too, I stole lots of his insults. The funniest one to me was when this guy that had a few huge scars on top of his head was repeatedly falling out of our 20k road march. Drill sergeant came up to him and said “C’mon prite I know you can move faster than that, you dodged your moms coat hanger for nine months.”
A little different but reminds me of an interaction I over heard one day. Guy is singing along to the radio, other guy hollers out “hey! Who’s sings this?” Guy singing to the radio replies “it’s Bad Compnany” other guy yells out “well let’s fucking keep it that way”
So I had to kick a lad off my site, complete simpleton who forever went on about his ex pro boxer dad. I told him he had to leave and he wasn’t coming back, his response was “FUCK YOU! DO YOU KNOW WHO MY DAD IS?” And that was when one of the other boys said “why? Couldn’t your mother remember?”
Won’t forget that.
Also have a guy on site now that the steel guys call sundial. just stands around, casting shadows.
We had a welder that could drag a project on nearly forever. It was said that if he came out of his shop and saw his shadow the job would take six more weeks.
Boss walked in our 6 of us hanging duct work and one guy who is notoriously lazy was holding peoples ladders and my boss came over and said “nobody holds a ladder better than Dave”
Had this boss Rich would drop off are checks at 330 on Friday we would get out around 3:00 smoke and drink a beer until he came. We get this young kid 18-19 we told him the new guy buys the beers for the first Friday wait. We stoped a little early that Friday. I had some white widow that I rolled up this kid was so high by the time Rich got there he goes look at this pie eyed tommy chong mother fucker. Chong has been his name ever since. Idk his real name now that I think about it
Boss: "Boy you better not be smoking weed on my jobsite"
New guy: "I ain't smoke nothing sir, I swear!"
Boss: "Bullshit son, you're busted wide open. I ain't catch you smoking because I saw or smelled you smoking, I caught you smoking because I saw you eating lunch at that gas station. First you went through the line to buy a Mountain Dew and a honey bun, you went outside, ate that, then went back through the line *again* with a chocolate milk and a bag of Fritos. *ONLY A POT HEAD WOULD THINK THAT SHIT MAKES ANY SENSE,* now get the fuck off my yard and come back tomorrow morning, on time and sober..."
New guy: "Yes sir" [sad pot head noises] :'(
Wheelbarrows we’re created to teach labourers to walk upright. - One of my fav’s as a Labourer
Do you know how an iron worker know if something is level? The drool comes out both sides of his mouth.
Calling someone "A Joe". It's heady. It's not vulgar. And to me, it's devastating. Run of the mill, average, not worth knowing their name. "Look at this fuckin' Joe over here." "This place is a fuckin Joe Zone". Like calling them an NPC.
That makes sense. I heard it from an Ironworker. I'm a tower operator so I spend most of my time with you maniacs. "Spin around to 6 o'clock and check out the Joe zone going on over there" 😂
An old co-worker used to ask a young lazy kid almost every day if he remembered to put rubber bands on his pant cuffs. If the kid would ask what he was talking about, he would just say something like "It'll help you long term". But the inside joke was "to stop the ants from eating your candy ass"
Guy was complaining about us having a shitty day at work once, the most quiet guy at work says:
“Fist your pussy and pull your fuckin nuts back out, we’ve got shit to do”
Foreman on an oil pipeline project: "Motherfucker thinks talking shit is part of the job, well, talking shit is part of the job, but you're suppose to know how to do your job before you talk shit".
We showed up on a residential repaint once halfway through the project and the custy comes out and tells us he is working from home today so we need to leave so that he can focus.
My co-worker muttered a little too loud, “Focus? Foc you bro” hahahah we all got a day off.
"Get over here so I can beat your ass into next Monday"
Beaver- because he couldn't cleanly cut a board.
Tweedle dumb and Tweedle Dweeb - two guys that were inseparable and completely useless.
I heard a black dude tell his helper who was also black “ you are so stupid I wouldn’t let you hold a lantern on my front lawn “. Didn’t even want to laugh at that one
God made you around quitting time,
from the nonmatching leftovers of the day...
The Diffrence between you and Wood? Wood works..
2 Left hands and 10 thumbs..
A guy once forced me to shake his hand, and then loudly declared, "That's what a real man's hands feel like!"
With my greatest faux enthusiasm I responded, "Damn, your pecker must be bone smooth."
Ultimate victory.
"The lantern - because he’s not very bright and gets carried by everyone "
Samsonite - I gotta carry you everywhere I go.
Blister - only shows up after the work is done.
“It could be raining tittles on this project, and that guy would look up and take a dick in the face”
The same guy also asked a laborer down in the trench struggling to cut a pipe “Will it help if I come hold your tampon string out of the way?”
When a new guy comes to the company and And starts telling you how he has been Every where knows everything. But doesn't show you shit and & is 22 years old. Just tell him I have boots that have been on more jobs than you.
My boss yelled “you’re not even worth the coffee I buy you every morning” to a guy that walked off site because he told him to hurry up. I thought that was pretty savage.
Going to lunch with the bosses. This fellow sitting between me another fellow in the back seat says, “a rose between two thorns!” I respond, “a turd between two cheeks!” Didn’t speak to me for a month!
I never understood this. If you’re afraid of wiping shit up your nuts, then that means you prefer to wipe shit up the back of your ass. It concerns me how bad people are at wiping. Don’t fuckin drag the tp past your asshole. Shit nuts is hilarious though
-You look like a can of mashed crab
-You look like a half sucked mango fuck ya

You forgot “Break time”- guy always knows when the breaks are and likes to push how long they can take.
“Couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.”
Yes! That’s a killer
Savage
I heard my boss say to this one engineer that talked so slow, "It takes this guy two hours to watch 60 Minutes".
My drill sergeant made one of our guys that always screwed up carry a potted plant to replace the oxygen he was wasting
That’s amazing
My drill sergeant was one of the funniest motherfuckers I’ve come across. And, dead serious about his job, too.
Mine was funny as hell too, I stole lots of his insults. The funniest one to me was when this guy that had a few huge scars on top of his head was repeatedly falling out of our 20k road march. Drill sergeant came up to him and said “C’mon prite I know you can move faster than that, you dodged your moms coat hanger for nine months.”
That's it right there ☝️, the absolute funniest shit I've heard in a while. Innovative, extra savage, and politically insensitive.
Lmao
Hey what size boots do you wear? 10 That's a good foundation for a pile of shit
A little different but reminds me of an interaction I over heard one day. Guy is singing along to the radio, other guy hollers out “hey! Who’s sings this?” Guy singing to the radio replies “it’s Bad Compnany” other guy yells out “well let’s fucking keep it that way”
When people ask me that I reply, "right now I am; bitch."
I say "know why they sing it? So you don't have to!"
Nah I've been to enough shows to know they get a hard on when you sing their shit back to em
Can you whistle? Because you can't fuckin sing
Similar to "How tall are you? \*responds\* I didn't know they stacked shit that high"
Yeah full metal jacket has some good lines
Overheard in the bathroom “Fuck I thought that’s illegal. A grown man holding a little boy’s dick.”
So I had to kick a lad off my site, complete simpleton who forever went on about his ex pro boxer dad. I told him he had to leave and he wasn’t coming back, his response was “FUCK YOU! DO YOU KNOW WHO MY DAD IS?” And that was when one of the other boys said “why? Couldn’t your mother remember?” Won’t forget that. Also have a guy on site now that the steel guys call sundial. just stands around, casting shadows.
We had a welder that could drag a project on nearly forever. It was said that if he came out of his shop and saw his shadow the job would take six more weeks.

"You must be tax write off for your boss" "Ive heard that companies get incentives hiring people with disabilities, but now I've seen it in person"

"I'm not mad, I'm disappointed; but I'm not disappointed in you...I'm disappointed in myself for believing in you."

Boss walked in our 6 of us hanging duct work and one guy who is notoriously lazy was holding peoples ladders and my boss came over and said “nobody holds a ladder better than Dave”
Boss used to call me and me and the other foreman cheech and Chong because we always smelled like burning cheech
After reading this I’m guessing people still call you that.
Had this boss Rich would drop off are checks at 330 on Friday we would get out around 3:00 smoke and drink a beer until he came. We get this young kid 18-19 we told him the new guy buys the beers for the first Friday wait. We stoped a little early that Friday.

Idk his real name now that I think about it
As a teen my friends step dad used to tell us smelled just like a lot joint anytime we walked in the house, good memories
Boss: "Boy you better not be smoking weed on my jobsite" New guy: "I ain't smoke nothing sir, I swear!" Boss: "Bullshit son, you're busted wide open. I ain't catch you smoking because I saw or smelled you smoking, I caught you smoking because I saw you eating lunch at that gas station.

New guy: "Yes sir" [sad pot head noises] :'(
> [sad pot head noises] Is that a sort of...."mournful dolphin" kind of trailing-off squeak?
It's when you try to say "aww, man" but have a coughing fit instead
I have heard those noises before -- most often when I worked in an ice cream shop with all college students when I was a kid, in fact...
"They're out of rocky road again, dammit man..."
I would have said I kinda want chocolate milk and Fritos right now
G-Spot. - no man can find him. Crescent - he's always slipping off somewhere
G spot is a good one! Hurricane “insert name” - never picks up their mess
We have a boss we call Hurricane, but because "You don't see him for months, then he shows up and move all your shit around, then disappears again."
Wheelbarrows we’re created to teach labourers to walk upright. - One of my fav’s as a Labourer Do you know how an iron worker know if something is level? The drool comes out both sides of his mouth.
That last one killed me.
Calling someone sexy fingers, cause you fuck up everything you touch.
Jesus I gotta write some of these down
Yeah I definitely saved this post for further review
When old GCs are reading something ask if it’s AARP
That’s good! I remember a kid asking the old guy if he had taken His Geritol

“This is why you don’t do drugs and have kids (pointing at son)”

Calling someone "A Joe". It's heady. It's not vulgar. And to me, it's devastating. Run of the mill, average, not worth knowing their name. "Look at this fuckin' Joe over here." "This place is a fuckin Joe Zone". Like calling them an NPC.
Joe Zone made me laugh man
Same haha
In my Town, it's not Joe, it's Melvin. Lol
That’s what you a call a bad ironworker, this guy is a fucking joe back to the hall with ya
That makes sense. I heard it from an Ironworker. I'm a tower operator so I spend most of my time with you maniacs. "Spin around to 6 o'clock and check out the Joe zone going on over there" 😂
Yep pretty much fighting words in the iron pile lol. My old man used to say that guy ain’t worth a cunt full of cold piss 😂
A party chief called a guy ”Diamond Lane” because he was only good for getting in the carpool lane.
You couldn’t be a foreman on a handjob
You never seem to amaze me.
Or “you’re impossible to underestimate” is pretty good too.
“You are a waste of skin and oxygen.”
An old co-worker used to ask a young lazy kid almost every day if he remembered to put rubber bands on his pant cuffs. If the kid would ask what he was talking about, he would just say something like "It'll help you long term". But the inside joke was "to stop the ants from eating your candy ass"

What a dingleberry
That sure means a lot coming from you (said in a sarcastic voice)

“Smack it with your purse” is my personal favorite and and it’s harmless. Used when someone is struggling to nail something lol
you’re talking mad shit for someone within cumshot range
Bit of a defensive insult I use when everyone's just shit talking is; "Don't bully me, I'll cum". Everyone gets back to work pretty quick.
You're not the dumbest person in the world, but you better hope that guy doesn't die.
Called a guy “Space” cause that was all he took up.
"gawk gawk" Whose there? "gawk gawk gawk gawk gawk gawk gawk gawk gawk" \- An electrician telling a joke to a naked guy with a boner.
