forgot the part where you say “this isn’t how your suppose to do it, but this is how we do it”

All accurate. The only thing that makes you unbelievable as a construction worker is you seem like a genuinely happy person and still have somewhat of a will to live

We had a new guy that everyone called beaver because he thought he saw a beaver, but it was a cat.

You forgot about the guy who constantly complaining about his ex wife..... from 15 years ago

The most accurate part of it is the fact the whole time he's getting NOTHING done.

Hazing the rookie but still being protective is the real dad move

Swear to god us construction workers are single handedly keeping Monster in business.

Most accurate part when everybody's standing around and when the boss shows up they all start working. Classic.

If we were on a job more than 2 days we knew the gas stations attendants by first and last name. If we were there for a week we were sending their kids birthday cards.

The gas station is dead on. Contractors survive on monster, tasty kakes, and nicotine. That's all they need

You forgot the biggest one of them all. "Hey how's it going?"..."oh you know just living the dream" also substituable with "just another day in paradise"

You forgot the engineers and office people showing up in clean safety vests and shiny hardhats and office shoes.

I felt "this is a tacklebox job" so hard

“We got Tim and Ted, both named Tom”

Lol as a boss I love the "lot of windshield time for that guy" quote, and for my guys it isn't going to the gas station 10x a day, it's going to Home Depot 10x to pick up a single 2x4 or one ABS fitting at a time.

Forgot that everyone’s wife/gf name is “the old lady”

I drove by a construction site and saw not just one guy working, but TWO guys at once! I damned near drove off the road.

I was never a construction worker, but one day my boss (fishing/fish market) didn’t have anything for us to do so he had us help the crew building his new house. They talked shit to us for 8 hours straight. Most fun I’ve ever had working.

Smoking a cigarette with a monster I bought at a gas station while watching this...I work in construction,not even the same country 😂

This is a Tacklebox job Re-delegation is a legitimate worksite skill

The nine dislikes are from the bosses who are getting a manicure while watching this.

I worked on a site in my early 20's that had a small crew of guys. The first guy ever hired was named Brandon. Because of this , the old man who owned the company called everyone Brandon. Sadly, we all knew which "Brandon" he was talking to based on the amount of cuss words he used and the octave of "Brandon!" He yelled. One glorious summer day, I made the mistake of informing the "old man" that my name was Josh. He put me in my place immediately. I'll never forget the look of outright rage in his blood filled face , spit flying from his lips as he yelled " I know your godda*n name Brandon!!!" Such fond memories...

I worked in construction for 7 years and pretty much lived off of gas station food. I think the hard labor counteracted all the awful food I ate and kept it neutral. Also, complaining about the boss was a daily occurence for all of us.

We need more construction videos. They are literally the best.

"I've still done more work than you" that one is universal for any job.

My husband is an electrician. All the men he works with have the same names: Jim, Bob, Joe, Tom. And Dave. And Tim. Seriously. These are the only names I hear. 😂

Definitely felt the nickname one. On my first day a boilermaker said “you need a nickname.... I’m gonna call you Fudge.” 6 years and two companies later I am still Fudge.

Forgot the “I’m only 35 but I’ve been doing this for 20 years” and “I don’t give a damn what those drawings say”

As a Tyler that was only ever called Taylor and Kyle on site. This is accurate.

It’s incredible how accurate this is.

only addition I'd make to the gas station part is after someone says "yeah, grab me a monster and a 5 hour".... you have have to ask what color monster they want.... not flavor... what color... also applies to powerade

"Tacklebox went to the shitter," "Hide his tool bag!" "Park the backhoe in front of the door!" "Nail his tool bag to the floor!" "Steel all the material from his cart!" "Put trash in his tool box!"

Not just hazing the new guy... hazing everyone even the boss if it comes to that

It's always good times to see 2 new guys trying to use the seniority card on each other

I really wish Charlie Berens was Tacklebox it would've been so funny

“Probably driving around that’s all he does” 😂😂😂 yes they do say that about me

“Can’t have 2 Tim’s so we call him Tom”. We had 2 mikes on our crew one time and we literally called one of them “Mike also” 😂

I work at Kwik trip and all I see early in the morning is construction workers getting their coffee, chew, and some snacks to start the day

haha I went from construction/mill work to a research lab and boy let me tell you, there was quite the learning curve on proper etiquette while at work.

When asked how much of a gap do you have on your side the new guy answered "about three centimeters" and now six years later he's still known as "Metric man" lol

We just got a new guy at work and it’s exactly like this...

“Cut it three times and it’s still too short!”

I love the "tacklebox look away." It shows concern for the new guy.

"Tacklebox look away. This is going to get ugly" lmao sparing the new guy 😂

Everybody's got that one lunchbox in their car from when they actually brought lunch 3 weeks ago still full of the Tupperware your girl has been looking for, an empty pack of smokes, and a crushed can cause youre gonna scrap those when you "get a chance". The other cooler's always got a 6 pack ready, 3 handfuls of ice, and the shop rag you lay over them for insulation because of that cracked lid you got trying to sit on it during break 4 summers ago. Cause no one uses years, they use their least favorite season as a measuring tool for time. And it's always either 2 or 5 of them ago when you're trying to remember when you did that one job for that bombshell blonde. Now what the fuck happened to my pencil? Tacklebox!!

Can't believe you didn't include the guy walking to the porta john yelling at the new guy "come help me lift this"

As I sip on my gas station monster and feel the grit of metal dust sift through my teeth with the cold caffinated goodness, this video hits home

As an industrial electrician I can honestly this is the most accurate video depiction of construction workers ever... especially with that specific kind of monster

The accuracy of the random toy drill in the truck that’s definitely been there for over 2 years

Me: zero experience in construction Also me: lmaoooooo so true

Dont forget "HR is here, he went around the back quick put your harness on!"

little do they know, Tacklebox is working his way through community college and will be their boss in about 2 years.

If you ever hear go get the board stretcher, do what I did go find a building to smoke behind for about 35 minutes, poor some water in your hand, flick some on your face and walk back out of breath and be like, "I've been all over the jobsite and I still can't find it"

Being the new guy at a construction site, showed up the first week wearing neck gators, got the name chapo from it. No one knows my actual name now it’s just chapo

This was G rated compared to what really goes on. But still died laughing!

“I can NOT add ‘tackle box’ to payroll. What is his LEGAL NAME.” -construction office workers.

I wired houses for a while this is like watching my past.

“Tacklebox! Look away!” Lol! Got me rolling here hoss.

“..what’s so complicated about that? They’re brothers, so they’re sisters”

I was at a hot dog stand last week and 6 construction workers were in line. one asked the vendor if there were 'any monsters today' the answer was no and they all left. My husband being one of them. I was visiting my husband on his lunch.

my first week at the jobsite i was stacking lumber and my coworker told me if it was too heavy for me he could call his wife to do it for me

Myles' dad is a cement / concrete contractor. Myles worked on the sites growing up. This is pure first hand knowledge. And probably on location at his dad's site! 😁

"We got Trevor, real names Tyler, no idea why we call him Trevor" This happens to me all the time.

I’m just an electrician apprentice and this was so spot on. Gold.

“We got Tim And Ted, both name Tom”...man that had me going

The nickname thing, lol. My husband was known as “animal.” He worked with one dude called “turbo”, others called “studly”, “pork chop”, “brown eye”, “moose”, “shady”, and “jack wagon.” LOL

Funniest part was he was talking about his boss not doing work while not doing work :D

Ordering sandwiches for the whole crew at Subway in the middle of the lunch rush.

This guy just finds some random construction site in his neighborhood on a Sunday. Proceeds to film for 30 mins

3:47 this is completely accurate. Our tackle box is a guy named Stephen, anytime I get ordered to do some bullshit work I just say “nah that’s stephen work”

Worked with an oliver that we called Oscar. Totally accurate. Oliver unfortunately has passed, so this helps remember him fondly. RIP Oliver, gone too soon.

I loved making nicknames for the new guys. My favorite one was "Magneto" given to a kid that lived down the street from me. He got the job working with me during one summer because his dad worked with us too. Magneto would constantly lose or drop the screws, connectors, anything metal really. Still get a kick telling that story. A good worker. My nickname was "Light Show". I got it because I was tasked to tie up temp lights down a hall of offices. I got 3 lines up there when the site supervisor comes in the see if it's done and I replied "Are you ready for the light show?" What I didn't know was he was giving a tour of the the progress to the employees who would work in the building. I get the extension cord from the generator, climb up the ladder to the nearest plug from the temp lights - the ends are both female ends. I had to flip the entire light string while everyone else had a good laugh. As far as hazing goes, If someone was in the portacan too long, I''d tie the door shut with jet line. Not very tight, just enough to get your hand out the door.

spent 42 years out there, never never wear new boots on a job site, wear them around the house for a couple weeks and get them good & cruddy first

Nothing like a honey bun and a monster to get the day started!

We need a whole gastation video on its own.

Boss and crew relationship is the same as a coach and players in high school

As a new guy in the field (1 year) I agree with everything. Working in the field is awesome and the banter is fun

You've probably heard there are 2 ways of doing things, the right way and the wrong way. But today your gonna learn my way!

"They're brothers so they're sisters" delivery is pretty gold

This explains why my house is shit.

Speaking of hands in your pockets my last helpers nickname was “pockets” cause well ya know....

Always have a “I’m too old you young bucks can handle it”

The gas station thing is spot on. Nevermind they could save Money buying it in bulk or at a grocery store.

Video was spot on lmao. Only thing you’re missing is lots of cussing. Seems like every other word is a cuss word on our site

My dads been a construction worker his whole life and now hes the boss man, when i was younger i used to ride in his work truck with him and listen to him complain about how useless his laborers were hahaha

If you're the new guy and no one is fuckin' with ya,you're on the way out!

Theres a preeeetty big similarity between construction workers culture and military maintenance culture

I died at the Trevor one. My work everyone calls me Tyler 🤣🤣

I’ve been doing construction for 6 months and I have never seen anything more accurate in my whole life

Talking about the Boss then him pulling up is the most realistic thing

I always just ask a coworker "you know who I can't stand?" *Who?* "That f****t thomas, he is so annoying" With Thomas being close by

This guy is exactly on point. I've worked these jobs.

You could’ve had a whole segment on sitting in their trucks and standing around.

We once had a new guy looking for the wet concrete compactor for almost an hour

I'm convinced construction workers spend at least half their pay at gas stations. 3 energy drinks, pack of smokes, beef jerky, 2 chili dogs and a Modelo for"later". $34.50.

You know a guy is a tradesman when he can make a four course meal out of a gas station hah and he can always switch it up and have new food items haha

This video is missing 2 things... always needs a ride cuz DUI’s And heavy nicotine addictions

As the son of the boss but still does all the actual construction work, I can confirm that literally all of this is true. Especially talking shit about the boss not doing any work.

Electrician from Michigan here, Holiday lunch is one of my favorite lunches!

Tradesmen/contractors are the funniest people I've ever met
