phillybear 365 Posted December 11, 2012 Men used to be able to joke around a bit, bust some balls, occasionally have a sunny moment at a dreary, overcast, hellish day at work. Maybe hang up a calender with busty bikini girls. Curse. Tell a dirty joke. Beer or two on Friday afternoon just before the shift ends. Then women came on board, and they have no sense of humor and run to Human Resources and sue people. So, men had to shut up and accept that the entire day was going to suck, and then they got to go home to a nagging wife and screaming kids and dirty house and that was going to suck too. Women ruin everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackARoot 2 Posted December 11, 2012 I agree, the guys wouldn't celebrate anything if it weren't for the women. But I kinda like it, because they get some good treats for birthdays and such Here's the downside. One of them insists on adding a verse to the end of of "Happy Birthday", and none of the guys will participate in the added verse: So today is your birthday Or so I've been told What a wonderful feeling You're one more year old On the cake there will be candles And presents for you And the whole world is singing Happy Birthday to You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 5,665 Posted December 11, 2012 I've been DJing for almost 10 years now. 99 times out of 100, people that want Birthday announcements or Anniversay/Wedding announcements are girls or f@gs. The one time a guy wants a shout out, it's because he heard someone else get their name yelled out and they want to embarrass their friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillybear 365 Posted December 11, 2012 For fock's sake, somebody started a scam that broads that use their fat thighs to spit a new litter into this world are expected to receive a gift, a push present. The gift is called child support, you mouth hug giving monster. What else do they want? Flowers and a knick knack every time they pry their chubby thighs open and give you the privilege of spilling hot soup on their belly button? Fock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,087 Posted December 11, 2012 Somehow I came to work one day back in October and on my office door there was sign that said: "You've been Boo'd! with a bucket full of candy at my doorstep. I noticed throughout the month other offices and cubicles were getting "boo'd" too. Apparently I was supposed to make copies of this sign and "Boo" two other people in the building. Yeah, whatever. I ate the candy and threw the rest away. Stupid. Had to of been some woman admin who started that crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted December 11, 2012 I am used to not having womens around on construction jobs so it sucks when one comes along every so often. It really does suck since they don't belong anywhere near a construction site unless it is to felaish the hands. Welding is a big part of what we do and I have not met a broad that could strike and arc to save her life. Damn near every woman I have run across in my field absolutely sucks a fat donkey sack at pipe fitting. The only place you can put them is in the office unless you want to suffer a severe lack of production and probably a law suit. To the women on this board, what is your take on women in construction?

If you can't be accurate and efficient with the task, it's better that someone else does it. Having a workforce that's dominated by one of the sexes isn't reason to abort that basic consideration during hiring. Person A- female, has physical aptitude for the work. Efficient. Person B - male, physical aptitude and efficiency shines slightly less than person A's, but they get the job done satisfactorily none the less. Without getting to know them first, who would you go with? Asking because maybe work quality aside, you might dislike what a female in the midst does to the dynamic. What It's Like To Be A Female Pipefitter What do you think is more likely about her...she's been promoted (to a point) and had a 27 year career in it out of political correctness, or her work speaks for itself? (I don't know how progressive the construction field, on a whole, is concerned with being). If she's just good at it, I don't mind the idea of her doing it.

I started the "birthday club" at work. We go out to lunch with the groups for everyone's bday during that month, pay for their lunch then have some kind of dessert later on. We dont make a big deal of it though and no women really run it, the people whose b-day it is get to pick the restaurant then we all do, pretty simple. Good to get out of the office as a big group and relax and take a longer lunch, good team building to do stuff together besides just sit there and work. I also give all my employees a card on their birthday, usually put some lottery tix of some other crap in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah if a chick can hold her own I have no problem with them working out in the field. The problem is I have yet to meet a woman who works like a man. There are some good female pipe fitters out there, not many, but a few. There are definitely some guys out there who shouldn't be on the job. I have heard too many horror stories though of chicks that go from job to job and just wait for a law suit to happen. Another tid bit about my job, the majority of black dudes are lazy and could give a fock. I have met a few good ones but for the most part they don't really give a shlt.
