730AM - knock on the door, I walk down my steps and already see the high vis vest on my porch
- Tradie says they have to dig a hole at the end of my driveway, they don't know if they'll be there for a couple hours or all day. (standard trade timeline depending on gas station stops and cig breaks)
- 10AM - still no digging yet, trucks/backhoe just sitting in front of my house
- 1030AM - digging finally starts
- 130PM - digging ends
- tradies patch the hole, resulting in the patch being about 3" higher than the road.
- they proceed to run over the still loose patch on their way out leaving massive tire marks and deforming the patch.
- mutant road patch now outside my driveway.

Just lol, the misc is on point with tradie jokes.

Estimate on how many frozen burritos eaten on their 2 hour lunch break?

Hard to say when lunch break was because it looked like they were on break all day.....

Did they pick up there monster cans and slim Jim wrappers at least?

Surprised they didn't bust the water mains or power supply, got off lightly OP.

Surprised their backhoe didn’t back into a fire hydrant or knock over a utility pole

logoutbrah was right about tradies

tradies gonna tradie

As someone who works with tradies all day long its sad, but true. legit 9/10 tradies fit the stereotype. When you find a high vocabulary, clean cut and professional tradie they truly are worth their weight in gold though, 10x more than any email sender.
