Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

I was raised in southern-most part of NC, a place called Florida.

But I did go to college here in NC

 

Haha well, family was from NC, we stayed with relatives in NJ for 3 months and I was born during that time. Then moved to Virginia, then Florida, then back to NC when I was about 9. Been here since then but I’ve travelled all around the US and Canada on trips.

Looks like my theory was wrong about this thread though. Or folks are being quiet

 

I grew up here but moved to Cali after college. Spent 22 years there.... now back again.

 

I visited cousins who lived in Lompoc on one of my trips, loved the weather there. California is beautiful in most places Bakersfield being an exception haha.

 

I was born in 89'. Buy definition i am a mellinnial.

Graduated high school. And went to work.

Im a crew leader, a father and a taxpayer.



Not all of us are a leaches that hate uncle sam.

 

Bornt and raised here.

 

where tf is your hardhat?

paging @slander to the courtesy phone for safety checks.

 

Got so damn frustrated with it i threw it off about 30min before that pic was taken. The safety police can flame away. My hard hat was the least of my worries that day.

 

Born in Charlotte almost 40 years ago. Transferred to New Orleans in 2008 with work, made it back 3 years later. Don’t plan on leaving the area again.

 

Yeah only a hard hat can save you from a fall from a man basket
One place I worked we had a safety guy we called the Safety Nazi, he finally went overboard too far once too many times and they fired him.

 

I know jack shit about construction safety! I need to start studying, the head of the safety department had a call with me Monday asking me how much I know about it and if I would enjoy construction safety......

LOL!!! Yea it baffles my mind some of the shit my peers get spooled up on.

I'm the polar opposite of a safety Nazi, i take more of a "this place has to make money, let me try to minimize risk and make it easy for everyone" type approach and that has worked well for me. I was working with some college students while I was consulting and my biggest piece of advice to them going into the safety was "don't be a douchebag, and you will be successfull".

 

Gotta love URE dust.

 

Curious. Elaborate?

 

10 years Georgia
8 years Illinois/Chicago
7 years North Carolina

I’m a mutt HA! But I don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Also F cold ass winters, not for me

 

I was born in NC does that count?

 

Day-yum. I was hoping you of all people were from somewhere else!

 

Been here less than a year. I came from a "village" in Illinois, Bolingbrook home of weathertech, that had 75,000 people, close to a million within a 10mile radius. I live in that area my whole life and it SUCKED!!!!!! You don't have to worry about me bringing any of that bullshit down here. I hated evreything about living up there besides the food. I will say it will make me appreciate wherever I live that isn't there. The people at work ask why I don't live near Charlotte, F-That!!!!! I lived near a big city, been there, got the tshirt, I'm good.... I'll take where I'm at now any day over living in or near a big city. The people are nice here, the scenery is beautiful, and fairly stress free, just need more food options lol!!!

 

I’m right between Hickory and the big city of Charlotte. Hickory’s growing too, but west or North and it’s less populated and nice scenery as well.
