A friend of mine worked at a restaurant, had a newbie in, assigned him cleaning duties, and the youngling was having a hard time with some surface, and was advised to use some elbow grease. "Where do I get some?" "We're out. Why don't you go next door to Hungry Jack's (a burger place) and see if they've got some?" This he then did, and was generously given a tub of something. When that didn't work, somebody explained that he'd been fucked with. And that's what happens to apprentices...
We’re similar because we had a lot of Poms in the workforce here from the £10 Pom immigration days. When I worked for my Dad he had a Pommy foreman. So it stands to reason we adopted many of the English’s work practices.
My cousin was on his first day at the West Australian Government Railways workshop as an apprentice coach builder. He was asked by his immediate supervisor to get a long weight from the store. He asked the storeman for the long weight and was told to sit on the bench in the corridor. After about 20 minutes the storeman asked how long does he want the "wait", 30 minutes or an hour!
I can relate to this as it was used on me too ..I was a first year female fitter and turner apprentice back in 1986 ....16 years old...when very few women were in male dominated fields...I didn't realise at the time they did it to all apprentices.....I thought at the time it was because I was a female....
I had the left handed screwdriver prank pulled on me one day, I was so wrapped up in what I was doing and didn't give it a thought till I went into the tool shed to have it finally hit me.🤦♀
Someone I know was sent to buy a Long Weight, the sales person went along with the joke and made him wait a long time. Another time he was given a list of people and their numbers. Including a Sue Ridge which of course turned out to be the sewage treatment plant.
I used to work for a motor cycle dealers. Around the corner from the showroom and workshop was a scooter dealership. Just about every apprentice we had was sent around to the scooter place to borrow a couple of pounds of compression or a box of sparks.
So true, if all apprentices were this smart they wouldn't be the apprentice for long before promotion! 😂 There are street upgrades near me, and I cannot believe the hierarchy is so obvious, like two chairs for four workers with two sitting and one just supervising the hard working apprentice! They must be paid hourly, no wonder it's not finished yet! 😄 It's unfortunate that a lot of our new apprentices don't speak/understand much English! 😐
You should react to Tom Cardy, he's an Australian who makes joke music. Some of his best work are: Red Flags, The Ballad of Smokin Joe, Mixed Messages, and Hey, I Don't Work Here.
How are ya mate? Ever considered doing a facetime chat with an Aussie? I recon you do a great job promoting our country so Id be glad to answer any questions you've got as if we were mates sitting at a table in a pub together having a chat sort of thing. Keep up the good work. 👍

Fallopian tubes do exist 😂😂😂 and if you came back holding one you'd end up in jail 😂
Best comment ever
Garn is hilarious 😅 A couple of Aussie terms you might not know: bludging = doing bugger-all, and smoko = break time.

That's like when I was a student nurse and we were sent off to stores to pick up fallopian tubes. 😁
I laughed so hard at "fallopian tube" 😂😂😂

I was asked to go to the other end of the building and ask the storeman for "a long weight".....he laughed.....
My husband was sent to go to the paint department and get a can of striped paint talk about being green Lol 😂😂😂
I worked in a bank. One of the tricks tried on new staff was to send them to another close bank to borrow the scales so we could balance the books.
That one is pretty clever.

@@Hffefhjjhff Such has been the fate of all newbies for many generations.
Great relatable humour.

Hi Matt, thoroughly enjoy your work. Garn is from an old joke and is short for "go and get f#@&ed". It's the "go and" part 🇭🇲
Many many years ago I got sent for a long wait. I just went and got a coffee!
Love watching Garn's videos. Unfortunately he doesn't make many of them.

I loved watching your reaction
Was sent to the local hardware store for a "long wait"
