In the UK military, we've got a version of the 1D10T called the I.D 10T. As part of their arrival to a unit after completing training, the new folks are asked to submit an application form for an I.D card, called the 10T. The application form requires a photo of them holding a sign saying ID10T with them wearing their issue respirator. (gas mask). Almost never fails.

On a site a couple of years ago, the new lad was sent for a glass hammer, the boss gave him a credit card, the young lad went to the nearest hardware , but they didn't have one, on his way back he saw one in a gift shop, Young lad came back with a Waterford Crystal glass hammer €300 . 😂😂

Damn. That was a pleasant hazing. I'm jealous. One FNG we got during a house in Dearborn said he enjoyed painting. So crew lead took him a door, had the guy paint it. Would then take it to the other FNG(sn) and have him sand the paint off. Both of them on the either side of the house, away from each other. Lasted 2 an a half days until they took lunch together and came back pissed. "Where are all these damn doors going if we're both working on so many?" *Crew lead lights a 5th lunch cig* "It's been the same one for almost 3 days. I need it done by the end of the day, though. Timeline moved up." Anyone who got to day 5 without noticing got a talk. Not fired, but you're obviously not paying attention at that point.
As a first year apprentice just about to enter my second year of my apprenticeship I can confirm the nervousness of the first day and the constant bull crap fully qualified tradies put new apprentice through
What stuff they put you through mate, tbh i dont mind what i’d do, im looking to start a chippy apprenticeship but one thing i heard about which i suck at is that apparently theres a writing aspect and im slow on the maths, i can do the maths just slow on it

I worked as a butcher and we had an ice machine for the fish counter. A new lass starting with us and I told her the ice in the machine gets broken up at the north pole and sent in by massive pipes. She was 18 so gullible af. She believed it. Told her it's full of minerals and keeps fish fresher for longer so that's why they used it. She legit held a piece in her hand and was like ''wow, the north pole'' she came in the next day and punched me in the arm over and over because she told her folks about it.

@@zXHawkxEyeXz electrical apprentice here, like he said there are some that are highly respectable and don’t treat you like this that will give you the time of day and enjoy spreading tricks and knowledge of the trade.

Service truck in electrical is also known to be where the fellons go to 80% of them being drinkers. You can always move around in your trade and go to a different company, which then you will be making same pay and have a different boss. Best of luck, always keep your head up and demand respect but also you can’t force someone to respect you, if they think your a dumbass for not knowing something your not taught that is on them being bad at there job and your superintendent’s and project managers don’t respect that.

You can’t take it to heart brotha you gotta see through it and have a little fun after all some of these guys been working every day half their life, you gotta bust each others balls a little bit to have fun at work.
@@christophersmith5996 well when you are there to get work done and learn, other people’s negative opinions don’t matter. It’s easy to laugh it off if you just remind yourself what you are there for. Because at the end of the day your work is what you show for and you might be the little guy like me for a while but after a few years you see through peoples BS and their insecurities show behind all those jokes and you gain confidence knowing how weak people really are.
Fun fact I actually found a left handed hammer cleaning out my new house. It literally has a grip mold for a left and says Left on the handle. They do exist 😂
I know this is a skit, but this brings too much stress to me, this is why i hate working these jobs, always rough people with negative attitudes, there has to be more to life than working these shit jobs... Working a job like this would ruing my mental health, this shit actually pisses me off, i used to work for a house moving company and they didnt even tell me what to do..., like wtf is with these jobs, i hope ai takes over jobs and we all dont have to work.. this feels too real to me, and its depressing, i will refuse to work these jobs, you are just treated like shit, actually pisses me off
OK. Admit it. Your momma divorced your daddy and she turned you into a wuss. It’s a game silly. If you don’t get that then that’s on you because you’re the odd man (child) out. Go get an office job with a bunch of other women.
And the funny part is that the job itself isnt that horrible, it might even be pleasant to repeatedly lift heavy shit even in the sun, and would be more efficient with cooperative and supporting nature to the business! All it comes down to coworkers. Working at a kindergarten is already a job, i should be payed 2 wages
Ahhhh I remember my first day as a construction worker 😂😂 they had me looking for a caulk stretcher forever until I asked the boss and he looked at me like an 1D10T
Brickie. I had a guy trying to get me some 230mm cuts poor bloke was measuring bricks for half an hour before he came said he couldn't find any long enough 😂
One time I got asked how many welding rods I could break over the back of my neck. I grabbed a big ass handful thinking I was gonna flex, and only realized my mistake when the flux powdered up my back. My shirt was tucked in too 🙃
Hey could you please tell me which organisation hired the really first time and any other organisations i could apply for apprenticeship in Vancouver i wanted to be an electrician too?
Worked construction over 20yrs, shit stirring is part of our culture and bloody hilarious when done right. Most tradies dont try to belittle the young blokes unless they've done something stupid to deserve it. Generally its the stoners, drinkers and larikins because, well, misery loves company and they know you're already better than they ever will be, so they try to bring you down. Try to avoid the assholes and stick it out for 4-5yrs and i guarantee you'll be running rings around the ones who put shit on you at the start and see them for the dead shits that they are.
Box of screws didn’t contain enough. After sweeping it’s always grabbing the long weight (wait) out of the bosses tool chest. Asking em to unpop rivets was a personal favourite of mine. Especially if it was a few bits of scrapped AC galvanised ducting.
Had a manager at my first welding job try to pull the tartan paint time waster on me. I grew up helping my dad in his mechanics shop so I knew all the tricks. Went out to the paint shed and spent ten minutes on my phone. Next day he sent me down the hill to the other plant to find a beam stretcher. Took a smoke break in my car. This kept happening until he got so concerned I was actually mentally challenged that he followed me and caught me smoking instead of looking for the left handed screwdriver. He got pissed but he didnt start yelling at me until I pointed out that he wasn't mad that I was wasting time, he was just mad that he couldn't laugh at me anymore. He turned out to be a good boss after that though. Taught me a lot
Used to send guys to get the bandsaw stretcher. Could never find it anytime i was sent to look for it eother. In the Army we would send new guys to get the HUMVEE keys.
Hahaha, at the time I hated my apprenticeship, 4 years of hell, being over worked and under paid, worked 70 hrs a week and got paid 50. Boss was terrible. I’m 10 years finished and now I look back and realise I learned resilience, work ethic, and not to take myself to seriously. Embrace the suck little first years, it’s all part of the process.
I used to send people for the long stand and the big weight (wait), someone once asked the storeman for a skyhook too. My uncle once had an apprenticeship with a glazing company, and 5 minutes from the end of shift, the boss asked him to go get a glass hammer. My uncle thought it was a wind up so he just left and went home. It turned out it was a real tool used in the glazing industry and the boss was incredibly displeased 😂
It's very dumb and annoying but if it's your first job it really does teach you resilience and how to just let generally harmless annoyances roll off you, which are skills you're going to need when it's the job itself causing you problems and not someone with seniority just messing with you. Obviously if it's something serious then take it to hr but for shit like this if you can't either laugh at yourself for being dumb or, even better, play dumb when you realize and have an easy day you laugh about with those same guys later on down the road, you're going to have a tough time when the pressure is actually on and there's shit to do
Sent to get a 'long weight', a skyhook, lefthanded anything etc from the ute. It was always in the ute, not too far, i was on the clock remember, 5 bucky an hour mate.
So glad I work at a place that respects other people unlike these job site where a man’s just trying to make his money and go home but his coworkers are to busy playing grab a$$ and jokes

Jano: yarite* (speaks in grumbles) 💀
People always stealing my left handed hammers
Why don't you get a broom and start in the Coner 😂
forgot to have him go calibrate the chain stretcher
Jack will be the foreman soon enough. Gotta break him in first
You should have asked him for a "right handed wrench"
Just figure out who the sister is and date her, the trainer will either love you or hate you for it, win/win in my books.
It's very dumb and annoying but if it's your first job it really does teach you resilience and how to just let generally harmless annoyances roll off you, which are skills you're going to need when it's the job itself causing you problems and not someone with seniority just messing with you. Obviously if it's something serious then take it to hr but for shit like this if you can't either laugh at yourself for being dumb or, even better, play dumb when you realize and have an easy day you laugh about with those same guys later on down the road, you're going to have a tough time when the pressure is actually on and there's shit to do

When we get new guys the post borer is our favourite tool for them
So glad I work at a place that respects other people unlike these job site where a man’s just trying to make his money and go home but his coworkers are to busy playing grab a$$ and jokes
