construction

There are some things, like bulging water damage that just hurt to see. There are other unsafe maneuvers that we have more control over, like jacking up a car with another car, that also hurt to see. It's a mess of improper execution and incompetent construction out there, as creative or convenient as it may seem at the time

There are loads of reasons to have a "not my job" moment. Maybe your boss didn't give you the proper tools. Maybe you had to do twice as much work in half the time. It could be that you seriously don't care. Or it could be that you're just seriously bad at it. For those or any other reasons, we see a whole lot of unprofessional "not my job" moments unleashed onto the world. We are here for it.

We all want to go home early, so sometimes we end up with "not my job" moments of questionable professionalism. Sure, we all have the potential to be good at our jobs, but there's a whole lot of improperly installed toilets and misspelled signs that suggest a few of us could try harder. Either way, it's nice to have some "not my job" moments to gawk at.

Designing things is hard, and people aren't very good at it. Whether it's an accidentally creepy sign or some painful looking stairs, we make things that probably could have used some extra input. This world is full of design failures that were someone's fault. For some more professional buffoonery, here are some "you had one job" moments of occupational incompetence.

Anyone who's had to work with their hands has likely witnessed, or even low-key partaken in some safety fails that would make OSHA faint. These highly questionable and unsafely done jobs probably shouldn't be considered a point of pride, but people keep doing them, usually out of convenience. Here's a story of an incompetent manager who fired their only OSHA certified forklift operator and had it backfire.

Most of us pride ourselves on being at least halfway decent at our jobs. Sometimes things get forgotten, done too quickly, or done by exactly the wrong person. What we get are "not my job" moments of quality unprofessionalism. The world is populated with crap infrastructure, stupid signs, and painted over spiders because somewhere along the line someone said, "eh, not my job."

Putting together buildings isn't as easy as it might seem. There are pipes running every which way, irregular sized doors, and real sketchy electrical situations. Most of us want to go home early anyway. That attitude results in some pretty wild "not my job" moments of incompetent construction.

It's really all in the buildup here. Like, what do you even do with that? Well, when it all gets down to it this is easily one of the most impressive pro revenges that we've come across. Enjoy!

People make a lot of mistakes while working, and that's even when they're doing things for ourselves. Throw in a third party or having to do something on behalf of a boss you don't like, and things start to not get done at a fantastic rate. Thanks to these unprofessional circumstances, we have just tons of instances of incompetent construction as well as "not my job" moments of quality unprofessionalism.

When a job needs to get done, sometimes that need gives way to a wonderfully unprofessional "not my job" moment. And other times, a lack of critical thinking or need to get that job done quick results in a spectacular display of brash dudes engaging in risky maneuvers. Either way, you see some questionable stuff.

Tumblr explained the life and times of a stray Chilean cat that ended up as an honorary foreman on a construction site. Who knows if he's actually qualified for the job. In that case it just goes to show that it's more about who you know than what you know. For more tumblr cat stuff, here's a tumblr thread on how cats became domesticated.

Jobs can be tedious and time consuming, and they can require a lot of annoying decision-making. When we decide to say "whatever, good enough" we leave ourselves open to creating some impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments. This world has a whole lot of stairs and doorways to nowhere.

When it comes to construction work, it helps to have an idea of the end result in mind. Without that you get some impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments. There's pipes going every which way, extremely inconvenient toilets, and unsafe maneuvers being attempted all over the place.

It pays off to keep a calm and collected manner in the face of some alarming BS. This home builder almost ended up costing this man and his wife $13K. Fortunately he was able to right the wrongs by filing a lien, and got every penny back. Love to see the homeowner come out victorious in the end.
