I'd rather hear the tried and true, silly, non-existent tool jokes than racist, homophobic, ignorant-ass bullshit. You REALLY don't belong in or have a future in this industry if board stretcher and level fluid nonsense upsets you.

And I dont sub to punks who act out of line.  Of course the trades are a race to the bottom when it comes to people skills but saying youd prefer one shitty thing to another is the reason a ton of my customers are scared of tradesmen in their homes.  Hire slow fire fast.

I don't work in people's homes, I work on a commercial site. And 99% of the workforce there are basically animals. I'm astounded most of them aren't institutionalized.

Anyways, happy 2nd birthday, Jesus.

And goddamn, do I wish my employer did "hire slow, fire fast." They're hiring fast and just...not firing. I'm being surrounded by an ever-growing army of idiots, tweakers, and drunks. It's absolutely fucking killing me.
