Do electricians know what a bin is?

2 years ago by Gorgritch_Umie_Killa to c/chat

  1. Has anyone verified these people can distinguish a bin from pavers or flooring?

  2. Has anyone ever witnessed an electrician utilise a bin in their personal lives? As in is this a professional proclivity og the electricians, or a personal lifestyle choice.

note: this is a shitpost

No, and most of them don't know what a skip is either.

I believe it is trained out of them during their first year studies, and completely erased during apprenticeship.

The same applies to plumbers, but not gasfitters, which results in odd behaviours in those tradies that are both.

Electrical Engineers, on the other hand know what a bin is, but lack the dexterity to actually get anything into one.

That one apprentice who can't get their qualification because they can't master the subtle art of leaving wire offcuts everywhere.

The blokes who installed our solar didn't leave so much as a screw on the driveway and I was so impressed and also sad as fuck that I was.

Then the guy that came and did the nbn upgrade left 3 unpatched holes in the soffits that I can fix because I can't crane my head up :/

One sparkey we hired to install some lights left sawdust on the carpet, in the roof space, and boot prints on the carpet. I was legitimately flabbergasted. Like are you high? This is my house you idiot. I wasn't paying him bottom dollar either...

We hired a sparkie to do dual trade, and fully expected our first lesson to be "how to use a broom"... Turns out he's the neatest bloke we have! Has a vacuum he uses on every site when he's finished, a mini leaf blower to clean up the work area if its outside, and uses the "cups with a drill bit through them" tools to do gyprock holes.

Diamond in the rough.

Thats a keeper! When they go to the trouble of the cups you know they're really acting on it.

Its been a couple months since this post, and i'm still finding offcuts about the place from these electricians i had.
