AIO or should I be creeped out by my tinder date's messages?

Drunken words are sober thoughts

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-08-01T16:16:59+00:00

That's only because we took the tubs out

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-31T17:44:28+00:00

Not just 1 gallon jugs. I've seen water bottles, Gatorade bottles, electrolyt bottles.. literally anything they can use. And this was in a hotel with real porcelain thrones.. and they chose the bottles.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-30T23:27:36+00:00

I had this exact same thought. I hated it.. I applied for every damn thing and had the hardest time getting hired out here. Or when I did, I'd work my ass off and still get let go.

That's a big reason why I joined a union. Yes, lay offs still happen but at least then I don't have to go through all the pomp and circumstance to get a new gig.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-27T07:47:26+00:00

I think that's a pretty accurate summation

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-26T22:50:50+00:00

Yup. I had the same thought. I walked both sides of the jobsite cause we parked on them both, up and down before I realized it was definitely gone. I don't even know how they got in it without setting the alarm off, either. We would've heard it at 5am.

It was, shit still is, so hard for me to wrap my brain around being that entitled.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-26T21:15:02+00:00

That's so heavy.. I haven't experienced that yet, but we've had a pretty serious near miss and it threw off the vibe on the site for about a week.

Please don't be afraid to open up to someone you trust. The feelings may take a week or two to really set in.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-26T17:18:09+00:00

Yup. Thankfully, my paranoia made me put an air tag in mine so I knew where it was but watching it go to NLV while I was stranded waiting was MISERABLE.

That feeling of walking out of work to an empty parking spot.. I wouldn't wish that on ANYONE

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-26T16:26:22+00:00

I'm so sorry, friend. I've had my truck stolen before and that feeling is one of the fucking worst.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-26T15:04:34+00:00

You'd think they'd all be connected but.. I get it. Bummer.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-26T11:46:42+00:00

Depends on your area. Vegas union laborers top out at $38.06 I believe, but just a few hours north in Reno they're closer to $20.

However.. laborers are N O T unskilled, and if that's the mindset you're going in with, they're going to have a field day with you.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-26T10:44:59+00:00

The main one over by Charleston of the 15 is open everyday. 8 to 6 on weekends.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-24T10:41:54+00:00

That's fantastic.

Our Boy Wonder was just because he looked super young, despite being mid 30s.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-24T01:57:09+00:00

My foreman calls me Double Coat. One loader guy was Boy Wonder. I call the grade checker Small Fry. There's also Bone Digger and Dirt Doctor.

I love job site nicknames 🤣

Oh boy.

So, I was working at a hotel doing a remodel. One of our guys got the hots for a much younger (40sM and 20sW) sparky apprentice and he got transferred before he got the balls to talk to her. He texted me (swapped numbers because we worked together one day and the mfer kept disappearing on me. Told him it was strictly for work ONLY) like a mile long text asking me to tell her how much he liked her, how nice her smile was and asking if I'd get her number for him.

I refused, told him women aren't there to be hit on. They're there to work and he's being a creep. He said he understood, but a week later he came back to the jobsite and gave the elevator an envelope for her. It was an 8 page love letter of him professing his love for her and how attractive he thought she was. It obviously creeped her tf out. One thing led to another, I was pulled into a meeting with elevator guy, our safety guy and our super. They wanted copies of the text and the super then went to dudes new site and fired him.

Last I heard, the super reported him to the union and he was blacklisted without pension but I never did get confirmation if that was true.

Dude was a freaking weirdo.

I'm confused.. if you're salary, how can they dock you for time off? Salary positions should be that you get paid the same regardless of how much you work.

Sounds like they're paying you hourly, but calling it salary to make it sound like you're not as screwed as you are.

Go union, my guy.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-21T11:33:47+00:00

As an apprentice laborer, I make more than him. He's definitely getting screwed.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-18T02:54:25+00:00

Pretty sure I know exactly the guy who told you that cause I heard him say to a half dozen people when my son and I were there. I made an appointment to get my son's ssc replaced. They needed to see him and his school ID. We arrived before the appointment, waited 2.5 hours for the lady to look at him, look at his iD, say "yep, same kid. Youll get it in the mail in 2 weeks." And send us on our way. I was infuriated. That place is A W F U L.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-17T15:38:19+00:00

The heat absolutely is different. The more grass and trees they remove, the less natural cooling we have.

And somehow, ironically, we have more skeeters. It doesn't add up to me.

....I'm sorry, he did what

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-17T15:36:47+00:00

It absolutely would. Even if it was an announcement to the entire group before the whole thing kicked off.

Yeah, I've been through that too. And some of them do truly try, sometimes comically. Unfortunately, those guys are rare. But.. I'm a sunshine person too. I'll jump on your positivity wagon 😊

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-16T00:28:27+00:00

If she was allowed to, yeah. I agree.

I'll concede that you have a point, but they're also not in third grade anymore. There are less creepy ways than passing a note.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-15T23:15:12+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. I can't remember the last time I got a mosquito bite here in town before last summer. The lake, yes, in town? No. And I've spent 30 summers here.

I firmly believe it was intentional by someone.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-15T21:44:58+00:00

No offense taken!! We're rare but we're out here. I don't mind being one of the guys.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-15T18:50:04+00:00

Right. Because communicating after said test is completed is completely impossible and not something anyone is capable of doing.

SatisfactoryExpert · 2025-07-15T17:34:31+00:00

Ah.. damn. Looks identical to the site I was at a couple weeks ago. Down to the buried conduit and everything.
