construction

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 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.

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. 

We're always impressed by the work of the lazy and negligent. It gives us impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments, ranging from telephone poles in the middle of roads to roadkill-shaped gaps traffic lines. Blessed be the sweet hot laziness that leads to these wonderfully unprofessional "not my job" moments.

Maybe the task is too difficult, or maybe you're just too difficult. "Not my job" moments encapsulate how the laziest among us deal with problems. These "solutions" may be majestically incompetent and ridiculously unprofessional "not my job" reactions to a hard task, but we can't say we haven't done similar things at some time in our lives.

This case of a Karen spreading entitlement into the world, and complicating other people's days, centers on her being unwilling to move out of a construction site reserved parking spot. If Karen had simply listened and responded accordingly to the construction workers' requests for her to move, all of this could've been avoided. Instead, she ends up getting blocked in after making a series of absurd decisions. 

The fact that "Chad" couldn't stop himself from ruining his cars, says a lot about his relationship with the rest of life. The dude went full scumbag mode. Apparently he screwed over his construction business partner, and said partner decided to fight back. The revenge was years in the making, and oh boy, did it play out beautifully. Tough luck, Chad. 

Some OSHA regulations seem sort of strict and ridiculous, but some really bad safety fails make you concede the point that some rules are there for a reason. It's non an enviable situation to be in to have a boss who wants you to do some sketchy-ass moves just so you can replace a light bulb, but we've been there.

From what we know about relationships, this would be more acceptable on the third day. Anyway, an equipment failure led to this construction worker having a very intimate first day with his new boss. For a more heroic construction story, here's one about an incompetent owner who mistakenly fired a special contractor and then came crawling back.

Stuff lie this makes us think we'd be pretty good at designing signs and clothes. Maybe it's harder to do well without ending up with stupid design failure? The fact remains, the world is completely filled up with really not good signs and designs, and it seems like a whole lotta people out there aren't doing their job.

It's bold moves like these that convince people why women live longer than men. A shout-out to all the bosses who have told us "just do it it'll be fine" or "we've always done it like that" and made us climb backwards up a ladder balancing on piles of oily rags. Anyway here's safety failures that would give OSHA nightmares.

If you're into stupidly redundant construction decisions,  shirts that accidentally say "anus," or signs for businesses that also accidentally say "anus" than you've come to the right place. Let's be real, some design can use some extra thought, and some of it, like these magazine layout fails, are freakin awesome.
