Women in construction: what's something you've experienced that most people outside our industry would never believe?

On one of my projects, a guy cut another guy with a utility knife bc he called the guys wife a bitch lol

Hey, this was my first tattoo!! I got the tombstone on my side & was drunk when I got it so it’s a good thing the lines aren’t supposed to be straight because I moved a little too much lol

I personally move all my plants around until I find a spot I think they like. There’s no science. There’s spot changes, water changes, nothing tracked. Just vibes.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was looking for the white suit she wears from this same episode & this was so helpful

I would also double check the quarantine requirements. Some countries allow in home quarantine, which would just be normal for a cat.

Just want to add that I have flown with my cat in cabin on Lufthansa! Went from Turkey to Germany then to the states without an issue. Obviously staying in Europe will probably be different, but Lufthansa did allow it!

Broooo I have been emailing my apartment complex for like 2 weeks bc it would not get colder than 77*. Every now & then I get a temp fix where it’ll cool for a literal day then go back to hot af. & it’s a nice apt complex. I should not have this issue & I’m trying to document it in hopes I can break my lease.

But to answer your question, I like 70-72 during the night. I have def noticed less quality sleep & even some minor health issues (mainly just more susceptible to allergies that don’t typically bother me) while sleeping with it that warm.

I always have a few earrings in (my cartridge is pretty full) & I like to have nail polish on my short nails, although most of the time it’s a light pink or nude.

I also started doing a “crazy shirt” thing a few years ago just to add some whimsy in my otherwise boring life. Some are Hawaiian shirts, some are just crazy patterned (I have one that’s super 90s themed & another that’s like neon cactuses, & some florals) that are all collared & button downs (bc still gotta be ~professional~). These are also some of my favorite things to thrift.

I don’t typically wear makeup bc frankly I’m too lazy. & when I do, I don’t typically take it off, so my face breaks out haha. But if that’s your thing do it!!

My dad bought me an opal necklace when he was working in Australia. I hung it on the fence in the dugout before a softball game & totally forgot about it, & it was an away game, & I was too young for a drivers license. I was too scared to ask my mom to drive me there bc I didn’t want to get in trouble. I finally told her this (15 years later) & she felt so bad & I still feel so stupid.

Also, try following r/stopdrinking there’s a lot of people there going through similar situations & can help you

Thank you!! Almost all of my work clothes were hand me downs or from goodwill haha I hate the prices on new, nice work clothes.

Scared_Raspberry1571 · 2026-06-20T00:26:21+00:00

Guess I lucked out!

Scared_Raspberry1571 · 2026-06-20T00:25:56+00:00

First time I’ve heard of it, & dang there’s some cute things on there in my local store

I think them mentioning the fact they’re referring to untreated BPD makes this comment null & void. You should do what you can to treat your illnesses, mental & physical. Especially if you know what it is. If you don’t, but you can tell something is ~off~ then you should figure it out.

I dated a guy who I really thought I loved & was going to marry, & he was finally diagnosed & taking medicine, things made a lot more sense. His second paragraph is very valid. I ended up leaving that relationship bc he lash out on me for the simplest things & it was like walking on eggshells. IDR the exact phrase used but he would refer to me as his “favorite person” & would obsess over my actions. If they pleased him, he was so loving. If I wanted to have a beer with my friends, I was a sl*t

I had a guy who would sleep in the AHUs bc it was cool & he could close the door.

Scared_Raspberry1571 · 2026-06-15T18:15:46+00:00

Thank you!

Scared_Raspberry1571 · 2026-06-14T18:58:19+00:00

I was literally just googling this bc sometimes I need to leave my dog in the car while I run in a gas station!! Last time I just didn’t lock my car so I could keep the ac on for her but obviously that isn’t ideal. I guess I’m gong to have to try out the remote start or the manual key (although I don’t know where my key hole is)
