Why do construction workers have to be so…uncouth?
So the homeowners directly behind my house is having new vinyl siding installed this week. We share a fenceline. There is a group of about 5 construction guys working the job. Nice enough guys I’m sure. They are working fast and getting the job done. But I’ve been noticing that they have been peeing on the fence we share. I guess they assume no one is home at my house to see them (I work in the evenings now and am home days). Their back is turned to the home they are working on, and I suppose they think they are being discreet. But the wife and I get a front row seat to the carnival. To return the favor today, as one of the crew was spending some personal time squating and scratching with my fence, I let my great dane out in the back yard. He has a tendency never to bark, but to run full throttle to the spot on the fence where there is a person nearby and jump up on the fence with his front paws, bringing his head a little over 6 feet in the air. It’s his way of introducing himself, I guess.
Scared the hell out of the pee’er, but it was a pretty funny sight. I don’t know who got a bigger kick out of it - me or the other four workers!
I know, and I thought of trying to film it, but I felt seriously creepy about taping another guy with his pants down being caught unawares. There were no hard feelings by the crew to me when I came out laughing, but I imagine they would’ve been pretty pissed if I came out with a camcorder recording them without permission.
A big time lawyer here in Phoenix was having a custom home built. It had a ridiculous amount of wiring that was all being run through the roof. The house was sort of “u” shaped. There was only one entrance/exit to the attic where all the various electrical work was being done. Guys working at the far end were probably 200 or 300 yards away from the entrance. Needless to say, they didn’t feel like getting out of the attic to relieve themselves. Pee/crap got into the walls. Didn’t smell good when things warmed.
This lawyer sued every contractor that went into the attic. He had a second set of contractors come in, strip everything down to the studs, perform a chemical wash/disinfect. His crazy wife claimed she could still smell pee/crap when they were “consorting.” He proceeded to sue the second set of contractors…
