I was in an electronic retail store the other day when I noticed this scruffy, overweight dude with havily calloused hands pestering a retail assistant.

It was so obvious this guy was a tradie. He had a terrible vocabulary and spoke in a manner that suggested he'd recently had a lobotomy. He was wearing a check shirt and there was a waft of rolling tobacco eminating from his general direction. Eventually the retail assistant responded to his inquiry.

Conversation went a bit like this:

Tradie:"Hey.....uh....I'm looking for something I can do my taxes on. Something that has Microsoft on."
Retail Assistant:"How about this 1700 surface book pro sir. Would suit your needs perfectly. It has a decent processor and so you can do your taxes much quicker."
Tradie:"Oh yeah man. Totally worth the extra for the speed."
Retail Assistant:"Sir, would you be interested in paying a 30 monthly fee for our in-house internet security package/anti-virus? 24 support is included."
Tradie:"Uuhh.......ohhhhh yeah. Can't be too careful about internets hacksters. Gotta be smart and cover all angles of attack. Put me down."
Retail Assistant:"Absolutely sir. And what about microsoft office? I highly suggest the full pack, which includes access, excel and powerpoint. Only 50 per month."
Tradie:"where....what? do I upload that??..."
Retail Assistant:"No sir, it comes pre-installed on your device. No need to download.
Retail Assistant:Have you thought about cloud storage sir? So you can access and backup your precious files anywhere in the world?
Tradie:"Uhhhhh....."
Retail Assistant:"Although you get 1tb free with miscrosoft office I would still recommend it, since you would probably use that space up in no time. 1 petabyte should cover it. Only 199 per month."
Tradie:"uuuhh........yeah. I totally need that."
Retail Assistant:"Aaaaaalrighty then. Will you be paying by cash or card today sir?"
Tradie:"Cash"

**Tradie walks to till with Retail Assistant who can barely disguise his delight**

BRB - just dropped 1.7k+ on laptop he doesn't even know how to switch on.
BRB - just lol.

Dont know y anyone who is not a graphic designer, artist or in the creative field would need a ms surface book.

If this is the most exciting/memorable thing that happened to you all week, I feel bad for you son.

fukn tradies when will they learn

Busta we've already established you can't make these troll threads and get the desired reaction because everyone knows you're a fat, bald fcking poverty mailman. You're just making yourself look even more like a dickhead.

Unlike you, he paid that in cash.

He's from the UK bro, give him a break. This is humor and exciting to them

not mirin script

cmon busta, you can do better

Go smoke some more SSRI's you beta ****.

tfw you're on spread with Busta

How the fuk are mailmen any higher status than tradies? Newsflash *******, theyre not. Youre right down there with them.

it's because he's literally only one step above them if that in the social hierarchy and with his obvious insecurities regarding his failure of a life he has to insult someone to make himself feel better and tradies are the only group he can do it with, even thats extremely questionable since he's a mailman and doesn't really have any sort of distinctive skill or quality besides being able to read an address and slot a piece of paper into a box.

I got one but I am not in the creative field, it is great for my hobbies. The MS surface is good.

Busta you should write a novel about the adventures of a tradie and sell it on amazon

Would have to be written phonetically and have lots of pictures if any tradies are going to want to read it

.....and breathe.

i tradie cannot be trusted with a laptop of such power

Exhibit A

another fantastic thread by postman busta.

making up more stories for the misc.

ayy lmao

yes thats jeff

In on daily Tradie thread

I bet your debate team hates you. Elaborate *******.

If you work in sales near Xmas you can make mad bank from tradies
