Last cut of the day when bucking with a 41inch bar on the 88 on a steep hillside the log breaks up where a union was years ago, trapping the saw full embedded in the log and it takes near 2 hours to free it, to find its bloody bent and its to dark to walk out without falling over with 88, fuel, felling bar, wedges, hammer and 066 a dozen times.

Ordering chains online and not being able to work out the oregon equivelent of the davinchi code to what chain you want!

Having an old lady manage to keep you at a quote/consultation, for 2.5 hours (swear to god I tried and tried to get away without actually headbutting her) and making time in your hectic schedule to do the work and not getting the job. Only to have her call you back a month later with another job which your strongly suspect is going nowhere.

That little bit more clients always want cut when everythings packed and cleaned up and its getting dark and youd underquoted.

Being in a real hurry to make an appointment and you stop by the bank to cash a check. The senior citizen in line is telling his lifetime story to the only teller in the bank and you are stuck behind him

Damn......I hate when that happens
 
or when a goundie does not let the top run on a tall pine and you get jolted real good.. I hate it when that happens.

Mabe some of you have the same problem I have with busting hydrolic lines on a skidsteer and grapple of a knuckleboom loader.... I hate it when that happens.

I really hate it when I get up in a tree and the neighbors dog just will not stop barking (Alll damm day) I hate that. A jar of cheap peanutbutter usually does the trick.

But what I hate most of all is when fema is still doing work for free in your home town 2 years after a storm and slowly killing your career.. I F&^% hate it when that happens..
 
Picking the 'nice' big barkless peeler to buck up at the end of the day and finding out the backside is embedded with gravel (with the brand-new chain), many I hated that, but not as much as the 10 strokes a tooth to git her cutting straight again :bang:

Having a perfectly wonderful and lazy Saturday drinkin' and chattin' with yer mates, cooking/eatin' an awesome meal, then zipping through the tip of my finger with a serrated steak-knife (bled like Old Faithful, slightly thinned blood), still trying ta figure out wtf I was doing at the time while doing the dishes with one hand, man I hated that too, man this morning sucked :cry:

When you get all set up on a job and the stupid-ass neighbor lights a big pile of leaves and it's sort of a damp day and it's smoking you out.
 
Senior moment, when you are doing a job in sub div. all them houses
and nature is not being nice and you finally find one semi private spot
with no time and two small pieces of toilet paper!

Ha ha-you know, i've wondered what i would be like to work in an office and when nature calls all you have to do is get up and use the facilities. Instead of jumping up in the back of the chip-truck, running out of tp and ripping the pockets and sleeves of your shirt to use, idiot groundies who think it's a kick to fire up the chipper and start chipping while you're doing your business, the homeowner's wife suddenly showing up right when you drop your pants, the chip box full of a mixture of sycamore and poison ivy chips, running out of tp and shirtsleeves so using some old window cleaner rags and dealing with that stinging sensation, guys not knowing you're in the box and start up and move the truck while you can't keep your balance and fall over, having the cops called on you because you couldn't hold it any longer and the chip box was full and you thought the fence could hide you---man, toilets at work have to be an awesome thing!:laugh:
 
Stranded ,stranded on a toilet bowl, what do you do when your stranded

stranded, stranded, stranded, stranded!

When the truck is all packed up, the street is clean, and the homeowner gets there and asks for one more limb.

When the hot girl comes out with a glass of ice water(This was today), You ask her name and she immediatley follows with a comment about her husband.
----She was in a bikini top, I mean come on dammit.:chainsaw:
 
Yesterday

Hired ta help a good mate to drop PVC down a 425ft well-head yesterday, had everything down in good time and got to the last 3 pieces of pipe...... the pope was too short (so was da rope), so we tied in another length and ran it around a nearby transfomer to the back of the truck and held our breath and cut the rope, it didn't drop (yay). Put on one more piece and the rope snapped, plunging the pipe down who-knows-how-far (we figure 60-80ft). This was after all assurances there was enough pipe and rope to do the installation. GAH! *nothin' ta see folks, move along* (The previous plumbers had taken the pully, for lowering, as well. Nice move guys! :bang: )

Then we borrow his bosses truck and take two vehicles across the water to go rescue his ex's junk from a storage unit. She pisses off to get a fix and leaves us stranded, unable to get the stuff to take back here. About 400$ trip totally wasted with 6 hrs of driving in rush hour traffic. X2 GAH!!
I hate it when this happens.



I feel much better today though :) But I want ta kill somethin'.........hm, roast beast melts I think :D

Yeah, I really used to hate when some jackass foreman would risk the saftey of his crew to get a bit more production. More than one time I had to explain to stupid people that *thunder* was the result of lightning, and lightning has a habit of striking trees, and any people foolish enough to be in them in a thunderstorm.

How many greedy, arrogant, stupid things can you say in one day?
