60+ year old thread.

Yup.


At least pigs only poop in one place in the barnyard and it is usually as far away from where they are feed as possible.

 

I can relate. I was a Professional Home Inspector for a few years and you wouldn't believe some of the houses I had to walk through and crawl under.

Hope everyone is doing well. Glad the fire in Jersey stayed away from you guys. Welcome to the new folks.

Morning all...TGIF....one more week before vacation

I had the same problem when I was working on fork lifts Mike...cigarette butts, food scraps, leftovers from the finger hanky, spit and I had one truck where under the floor board I found a used condom...(night shift must have been slow)...had the customer remove it to his dismay.

UHOH...you sound a little sexist there Tom

What no for Tom, your being too easy Sue

especially when it's not theirs...kinda wonder where the pride went...

 

Somebody please change the direction of this conversation.

How ya' been Tex?


Morning everybody.

Ken, where are you going on vacation?

 

That's downright nasty . I do not see how people can live like that.

 

Happy Friday?

 

See!!! it's not just SOME women are pigs... Thinking back a few years... hmmm how many MEN's rooms did the shirt have to go to, to tell them to clean their crap up!!! NEVER heard of any of the girls being told to clean their rooms!!!

morning Hope you got to wear a disposable tyvec suit. Any as bad as those shown on horders?

how's it going Rob?

 

Truth on the 1st Sgt and guy's rooms. Can't recall any of my gal's rooms being flagged, but I do recall several guy's rooms being brought to my attention.

Going good Susan. Little tired, busy last night; for that matter it's been busy all week. Things always pick up this time of year. One more shift tonight, then my 3 day weekend.

How sore are you today after all the chores yesterday?

 

oh and i’m kinda OCD about stuff being neat at least. one reason i took the plastic out from behind the back seats, so i can fit more stuff back there and keep back seat and floor board nice and neat. usually have a jacket or 2 in the truck at all times,(changes out depending on the time of year. got an old north face thats a little small i use as a rain jacket and other jacket in right now. sometimes an extra pair of shoes. on top of the emergency kit i have and tow strap, cable and lock to lock stuff in the bed.

cups/bottals get thrown out when ever i get to a place i can do so.

More like respect when it’s not theirs! had a buddies friend draw a dick on my hood when it was muddy. luckily he did it where the clear bra is so it did not scratch the paint, but i still went off and got in his face.

another TN member was not so lucky at a meet, someone did the same but scratched the paint.

 

Mike, I will try that headlamp before taking the steering column apart. Here is my project after getting dirty for the first time:

Not sure what "horders" is/was. TV show?

The outfit I worked for (DFW area) didn't provide anything except a laptop and a camera. I carried my own pair of "overhauls" as my dad used to call them, wore them when under the floor and washed them each evening when I got home. Wore a mask when under the floor and especially in the attics (fiberglass and other nasty/dangerous junk).

Most memorable inspection was me crawling under an old house that had been renovated. Was real muddy with a number of puddles from recent rains. I had a partner upstairs with a walkie-talkie. He calls and says "What are you doing down there?" I reply "I'm crawling through puddles trying to get to the far bathroom to check for leaks". He responds "the lights are flickering on and off up here". Nuff said ... being a retired EE I turned around and crawled out of there faster than any 52-year-old could ever imagine. Not a job for just anyone!!!

Hoarders was (not sure if it's still on) about people who hoard EVERYTHING and throw nothing away. Houses floor to ceiling stuff and/or garbage. Most only had allley ways to get from room to room and the "rooms" only had like one spot to sit or sleep. Kitchens never cleaned, trash never taken out... so yeah it was nasty.

 

Agreed. Usually guys have a messy room/clean car and gals have a messy car but a clean room.

 

Mornin' Jersey.

 

Good Morning Jim. What are you up to this weekend?

 

Hi all. Beautiful Saturday in the South today. I decided to change the character of my truck a few minutes ago. I went from a meep meep horn that said, "Sir, I am somewhat perturbed by your failure to advance your Prius now that the light has turned green, to a sure enough HONK HONK that we typically use only in the South to say howdy to people you know. Now the sound fits the truck and I am not embarrassed to use it. Besides, I find that if you shake your fist and honk when the light turns green you usually learn that the driver in front is either your preacher or the owner of a concealed weapons permit who just got fired.....

 

This post is for Tacoma Mike and anyone who might appreciate downeast humor:

Bert and Enod were using the two holer outhouse at the county fair and as Enod stood up to hitch his overalls some of his change fell out of his pocket and down the hole. Enod proceeded to pull his wallet out of his pocket and he took out a five dollar bill and threw it down the hole. Bert said, "Enod, what in hell you doin'?" Enod replied, "Bert, you don't think I'm going down there for 83 cents do yah?

Downeast humor is dry humor and you must hear the accent for the full effect but following a few drinks they are quite entertaining. Let me know if you are interested in more......

Here is the original author telling them on YouTube:
