Professionalism?????????

[adronetree]

So I was doing a job awhile back when one of my guys spilled a whole tank of gas down his shirt and pants from the 66 not having the cap screwed on. It was a really hot day. An hour or two later he said he couldnt take it anymore cause his pants were soaked with gas and his private areas were burning.
I told him to take a break for awhile and go wash them with the homeowners hose.
15 minutes later I see the homeowner men and women from 2 houses standing out in one of their front yards laughing hysterically.
I walk up to them and ask whats going on and one homeowner can barely talk while hes laughing and says "he looks like Bluto" ?? Confused, I look around and there is my worker standing next to the garage on a million dollar house naked showering himself with the garden hose while homeowners are watching him. And I realized at that moment he does resemble Bluto.
I freaked out and screamed "Rob what the hell are you doing?" He yells back "My balls are burnin boss!".
This is no lie. I didnt think it was funny at the time.
Hows that for professionalism?????
15 years of effort trying not to be a jackleg out the window.

:hmm3grin2orange:
I laughed so hard at the mental picture that i had some tears rolling out. I was at a bid meeting once, and the guy said make sure your guys dont piss out in the open. Use the portolets. You know someone did it. Worse part was it was at a elementary school.

That is funny but I guess it is harmless, I mean I worked with a guy who crapped on a customers backdoor stoop when I worked for a scaper back in high school. I had a guy climbing for me on a job where he tore the seat of his pants out. My brush dragger asked "what the hell are you wearing a thong" dude said "no I am going commando have been for years" soo his new name is now O Cheeky Won.

Too funny!

Before I got into doing trees I was a foreman for a landscape company on a maintainence crew. I was actually over two crews. One of the properties I was responsible for was a large business complex that was actually 2 properties in a phase one and phase two. We spent about 3 days a week at these properties as it was such a huge complex. My job was to supervise the two crews working in both phases who were doing the push mowing, walk behind mowing, weed eating and pruning in the manicured areas. My responsibility was cutting the large swathes of grass in the undeveloped areas between the two phases with a Ford tractor. It was challenging to say the least...

I had one guy on the crew that looked just like John Denver... I was looking for him one day and could only find his abandoned lawn mower... I walked behind the building where the water spigot was and all I saw was coke bottle glasses and a dude with his pants off, ass spread eagled under the spigot... I asked him WTF? and he said he had to go number two and had no TP... I could barely walk upright and work the rest of the day for laughing so hard...

Another time on the same property I got called in by the property manager who requested that I direct my guys to use the port-a-pottys as they had all lined up and took a piss behind one of the buildings where there was an office with one way glass. Seems they had all lines up and pissed right on the glass, unaware, with the office workers looking right at them... Laughing their asses off no doubt.

You ever put a mineral spirits soaked rag in your back pocket for awhile while painting something or cleaning?? :msp_scared: I think it might be higher than gas on the uncomfortability scale.

I remember when i first got into tree work i was working with a 3 man crew and one guy disappeared i had no idea where he was until i was gonna chip some brush and as soon as i fired up the chipper i saw him come flying outta the chip box with him pants around his ankles rolling around on the grass i was like WTF? We just laughed and dont think he ever wiped his rear end he just pulled his pants up and went back to work.

One time when I was working for Guy M. in the Triangle area of NC (Tom D. came down to play after the ice storm too) I had forgotten that Waffles are made with ingredients that trigger my IBS....I had to come out of their 90 ft oak and ask the client if I could use a restroom in their multimillion dollar historic house. After about 45 min in the loo, with repeated flushing and the occasional suppressed groan..... they were no longer as welcoming as when i entered that not so humble abode (Honest to goodness wrought iron fence and slate roof).

Some years ago I was working in a back yard with a bucket and had to crap something fierce. My stomach was a rolling boiling mess and I had to GO. There was no other truck there and backing it out to go use the restroom was out of the question. HO was not home. Well I was seasoned enough to not be freaked out over poopn in the back of the chip truck so thats what I did. And oh man it was nasty. The part about the story thats funny is that when the boss showed up he gave me ten bucks and said run up and get some gatorades. OK cool. when I got back he was across the street dumping the chips in the neighbors driveway. all I could do was LOL

i was still in highschool working as a seasonal for a very renound company in town. we were installing the landscape at a brand new gym and it hit me, i was the only one there my partener had took the truck for something. i had to go inside and ask to use there bathroom. by the time i got to the bathroom in there daycare it was almost too late and the bowl looked like it was plugged already. what ever i had to go, i topped off the mess whet back to work and never said a thing. it was ugly, an hour later the man i asked to use it in the first place came walking by with a brand new plunger and just glared at me. i feel better, me and that guy are the only one who ever knew about that

Theres 2 local successful septic trucks in georgia you see all the time North of Atlanta. One says "yesterdays meals on wheels" and "pot o' gold". They must be hard minded people. Especially the woman you will always see riding center seat in one of those trucks.

We have one here called "the honey wagon". There is another service called "stinky brothers"; I know those guys. One of the brothers wife rides with him and runs the pump while he sits and watches, lol.
