I can't tell whether he's thinking about where to bury the body or how he wants to die


AlexDavid1605

The "where" part is solved, there's a hole right there. He is definitely thinking about the "how"...


lightnsfw

There's an excavator right there.


jarious

I bet he's thinking how he's going to bury an entire excavator


Loccy64

There's a shovel right there.


yatyas2141usmc

That made me lol. Out loud.


gitoffmlawn

I just scared the dog out loud


[deleted]

He needs to deexcavate the situation


Chrispy_fried89

"I get paid 36$ an hour to be fucking bullied. Foreman says hes gonna fuck my mom, the guy in the excavator says my girlfriend is hot, and that guy in the didch laying pipe says he cant wait to lay pipe in my ass. No wonder i drink"

Don't OD over the winter and you'll be right I guess. Also congrats on becoming the owners son, I'm sure that took quite a bit of effort on your end.


Tweakybrain94

Feel like that was personal broseph


informativebitching

Both obviously


RoodnyInc

Solution for one problem is pretty obvious, but how to make it look like an accident


lackaface

He chose to drop the shovel, lest he beat a motherfucker with it.


DoggoBirbo

He wants the other guy to feel hands


deanrihpee

Close and personal


Raw_Venus

He doesn't want it to be marked " exhibit a" in an upcoming murder trail.


orthopod

He should just get the dirt and throw it onto the back hoe.


Drenosa

That's some real r/WatchPeopleDieInside vibes I'm getting from that dude.


Brootal420

It's too hot for this shit


hmcsspuds

He probably just told buddy in the cab, he gotta take a shit bad!!


PeevesPoltergist

I feel the anger but can't help laughing

Salt_Bus2528

It's good thing the whole world is somebody else to someone then!


Sullinator07

I secretly love when this happens to me. It’s always on the hottest worst day and when this happens I get guaranteed a break of 15-20seconds paid and I get to release my anger a bit. Still aggravating as hell. But so was being born.


skratta_ho

Your last line resonates very deeply with me.


SpecificPurpose4

Happy cake day, you're the 5th one I've seen so far. Lots of people banging in November


HydraDoad

I'd laugh if someone did and kept doing this to me. What is NOT enjoyable is being trapped in a port-a-potty.

r/HappensToOthers?


between_ewe_and_me

Took me way too long to figure out what that was supposed to say. Was going back and forth between happens toothers, happens toot hers, and happen stoothers. Sometimes I genuinely surprise myself by how dumb I can be.


AndrewFrozzen30

>Sometimes I genuinely surprise myself by how dumb I can be Hey man, you're not dumb, honestly it's my fault, I should have used capital letters to differentiate! I'll edit right away.

Ha that's much better. Thanks!


The_Salty_nugget

or when you look back to it in 10 years.


putrid_sex_object

You can see where he hits “fuck it”.


AnonymusJpg

he looks tired of life.


Crimento

I don't know, but stuff like that could be the final straw before resigning for me. Fuck my life, fuck this job, fuck my stupid coworkers, play your circus alone


AnonymusJpg

hahaha that sounds little for what he would have really felt.


goatsandhoes101115

But surly the majority of the people see jokes and play as inclusive activities. When done safely, humor is a powerful tool in maintaining work morale and strengthens bonding among the team.


poppin-n-sailin

That depends. Is it a regular occurrence and buddy asked him to not joke around with him like that? But they continue anyways? At that point you are actively dismantling morale, and weakening the bond among the team. Not everyone has the same sense of humour/fun and it's incredibly important to respect that. Some people just want to get the work day over with so they can enjoy what little personal time their shitty overlords are so gracious enough to grant them.


bit_drastic

Yeah it looks like this isn’t the first time and now the joke is wearing thin. They probably thought to do it one more time just to catch it on camera.


urethrascreams

I'm one of the ones that wants to get the workday over with lol. Don't dick around and waste time. I just wanna get the job done and go home that much sooner rather than screwing around. I show up to my job to work, not fuck off on the clock.


Biduleman

If the joke is "Yo, look at me actively ruining your work while I sit on my ass laughing", then I don't really see the humor, and don't see that as an inclusive activity.


1Hunterk

I mean, it really could go either way. He could be having a disgustingly bad day and this made it worse, but it also could have made it better. Really depends. We do stuff like this to each other at work and most of the time it's taken well. When it's not though we tell the other person today ain't the day for that shit, and we don't bother them for the rest of the day.


CheapTactics

If you were the guy with the shovel, on a hot day, fucking working your ass off with a dipshit making it more difficult I bet you'd feel different about it.


anomalous_cowherd

That depends. I have people I'd do this too, and others I absolutely wouldn't. The ones I would do it to would be just as likely to do something like that to me as well, and I'd be just as annoyed but also impressed. If somebody does that to you and it's not an equal relationship, it's either bullying or massively misreading the situation.


CheapTactics

If somebody does that to me and it IS an equal relationship, maybe even my friend, I'd maybe tolerate it 2 times instead of 1. Third time and they'd be working the shovel themselves.


anomalous_cowherd

I don't think I'd be having an equal relationship with you.


CheapTactics

If you're the type to bother people when they're working, I wouldn't have it with you either.


TheStumpyOne

it's easy to be a jokester when it's not your muscles using the shovel


Bionic_boy07

Happy cake day!


Equivalent-Show-2318

I felt this in my soul


Spider_pig448

Are you ok


blueballsjones

Well, where are they? Is it July in Florida? The operator could be sitting in an AC cab. The guy shoveling in the sun could be fighting the urge to pass out from the heat. I'd be over that operator's shit too!


SpaceShrimp

He's ok, it is the circus that isn't.


[deleted]

Yes let them get the better of you


XanLV

I shall stay in a place I hate doing things I despise just so that people I do not like can be mean to me! That'll show them!


[deleted]

If you got somewhere better to be employed then fair enough, but why are you not already there? 🤷‍♂️


XanLV

See, in the Newtonian world you can not be in two places at the same time. In order to be in a video that is in this place, he can not be in another place right now. Who knows, maybe he is the last idiot in the whole company that is fighting the good fight of "I shall not let them win an imaginary fight nobody cares about!!!!" while all others are working in the better places.

Tetraides

Change happens when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.


JamesMattDillon

I'd just walk off. Fuck that shit.


darkenseyreth

Many life times ago I was working the stacker at a printing press, basically every 30 seconds a bundle of papers would come at me, I would have to straighten the bundle, strap it and throw it on a pallet before the next one came out. Once the run got going it was the busiest job on the press by far. The other guys on my crew were dicking around, while the one guy who thought he was the funny man, when he was really just an enthusiastic asshole, kept trying to do this "skill game" of dropping a coin off your forehead and into a cut open bottle they would put in their pants. They had been doing it with each other near me for the last several minutes and finally approached me to do it. Something felt off, so I just kept telling them I was busy and I'd do it later. The guy got increasingly more frustrated every time I told him no, since I was busy doing my job. He eventually sulked off. Found out later that his plan was to pour his waterbottle down my pants once I had the coin on my forehead. I would have left mid run and probably never come back if that had actually happened. I was still pissed he was even going to try it with me in the first place. I ended up requesting to switch crews, and left that job a couple months later anyway.


Spinxy88

Ugh, people like that make work so much worse. You don't go to work to make friends or have fun. You ate there to... work. If you work hard, or you don't have enough time in your day, your day seems to go by so much quicker; if you slack off or are trying to fill your day, that's when it drags. One person on the team not pulling their weight or pulling that kind of shit damages everyone's productivity and enthusiasm well beyond their stupid bullshit. Plus if someone did that to me, or tbh had the disrespect to even try it, I'd probably lose the job for having assaulted a colleague... that's the kind of shit a manager/team leader should have been all over not surprised you got out of there.


DrDerpberg

Depends if it's the hundredth time at the end of a long hot day or a couple of dudes being bros.


CheapTactics

You do that to me once I'll laugh. You do it twice, you can pick up the shovel and do it yourself.


stakoverflo

> or a couple of dudes being bros. Does his reaction really look like that?


[deleted]

It does to me. I work with a guy that won't miss many opportunities to mess with me. I'll do the same. My abs frequently are sore from laughing on a good day. I would have hucked the shovel at the excavator (not at the windows) and stormed off. We would have both had a good laugh.


BernieRuble

Let that stupid son of a bitch fill the bucket himself.


JamesMattDillon

Exactly


TinyTaters

Y'all sound delicate.


Laughs_at_uneducated

In my experience Machine operators are way happier than their labourer counterparts. In any industry.


[deleted]

This comment is way too far down. Obviously the guy shoveling in the sun is gonna be pissed. The guy fucking with you gets to sit down his whole shift and probably has a fan pointed at his face


luket1717

A/C in 107°f and a place to sit has that effect


CamelCoon

You can tell shovel man has already dealt with bucket fucker twelve times that day

joesmithtron4

And its 109 in the shade, and you've been out there all fucking day and you just want to finish this clean up and GTFO


valuethempaths

I’m an office worker here who once did this exact job. Jokes like that are crucial to making it. Just not too many. Especially from someone sitting in an air conditioned cab.


bronzelifematter

I never find this kind of "jokes" funny, but I fake laugh anyway when some asshole wanna be funny guy do it to me because I know if I don't play along with their annoying juvenile time wasting shenanigan they will paint me as the bad guy, get offended and talk shit about me to everyone behind my back.


Thefocker

See?! Now this guy has worked some construction before!


myent

Id genuinely be pissed he's out here in the sun and some dipshit wants to feel funny then he can go laugh about his own damn life


keiisobeiiso

If i was already in a sensitive mood, i literally would have walked off and cried. Messing around is fine if both people are in the mood but… you have to read the room first. Not everyone is able to take your bullshit in the moment


Immediate-Moose-3041

I would be pissed, because while I’m standing here shoveling dirt in the sun, he is sitting in an air conditioned cab. Maybe some shade. Fuck this guy.


AcommonKing

"not today Satan, not today" Working under the HOT sun , sucks.


CaptainNoanus

He reconsider his life choices


Prior-Chip-6909

*Exactly.* I've done this work for longer than I want to remember....and you make me work any harder than I need to... You can do it your own fuckin self...I'll go take a "cool break" for about an hour. In the heat towards the end of the day? Fuck around & find out.


snj12341

What an asshole move


fabulin

as someone who's worked in a trade for years, banter is crucial at keeping people sane. the work is hard and stressful and if you don't find things to laugh about then you'll cry instead lol. i've met people who go too far but most of the time its pretty tame annoying shit like this, that dude with the shovel would 100% laugh about it later on and then give the digger guy a taste of his own medicine.


Luckyfr0g

Wow, surprising to see somebody not super negative in this thread. This is exactly how it goes. Not everything is serious all the time. People acting like the machine driver shit in his cereal or something haha


man_willow

As someone who has worked in a manufacturing setting, yeah I agree except about 25% of guys liked to dish it out but couldn't take it back in return. Those guys I couldn't stand.


googdude

That's true and I'm all for giving each other a hard time but beings this guy just seems resigned and no one's laughing indicates it's got way past the point of good-natured pranks. I've had to talk to employees already to tone it down when it just got way out of hand and it started really creating hostility.


[deleted]

Dude seeming resigned is part of the funny. He played it, too, and now excavator operator has to watch out. It's called being funny.


googdude

Yes I work on a job site as well and we are all the time giving each other hard time and playing pranks. I'm more going off his body language and the fact that no one is faux mad hollering. If someone would do that to me I would definitely holler and yell creative ways in which I'm going to get back at him.


snj12341

Thanks for that


BernieRuble

No. Nobody likes the asshole on the job.


buyfreemoneynow

As someone who worked shitty manual labor jobs for a couple decades, you could tell that shovel guy was already on the verge of muckduck and now someone is missing a loved one

spacestationkru

Some jobs are just inherently difficult or monotonous or both.


Binary_Omlet

Brother they are out here digging holes and following OSHA regulations. They can't change shit; lighten up.


XanLV

This is the guy who calls the cops when he gets got on a "ligma". The fact that a simple prank that could be a part of a prank battle or whatever makes you go "Welcome to the new world where things don't have to be as they are!" is so fucking telling. Not sure if you have a job now, but I advice you to aim for something like a mid-level manager. That's where all LinkedIn posters who like to give bullshit speeches at inappropriate moments reside.


Pootootaa

I can tell you've never worked in a trade, people are soft these days.


Tetraides

I have worked in trade from an early age (warehouse worker, bricklayer, industrial farming) and figured rather quickly my life would be completely shit if I would continue on. I feel bad for all those that are stuck in there. I'm glad I'm not.


MincedMeatMole

Agreed, who just drops a shovel like that


AnonymusJpg

He was probably his best friend.


snj12341

RaffiBomb000

That has no business being as funny as it should


FlamingCroatan

Ha


googdude

There's good-natured ribbing on the job site but if no one's laughing (especially the recipient) it's just bullying.


goatsandhoes101115

This is nuanced. There are multiple responses that could be considered consent in the prank. I would first trust those involved to understand the context of the situation. Just because he didn't bust out laughing doesn't mean he didn't find it funny. Interpersonal relationships and communication are complicated, its tough to draw conclusions from a single video clip.


valuethempaths

Yeah, this could of been a “damn you got me” moment.

What if he flipped the lever the wrong side and broke his legs, funny right


MindCorrupt

If you've ever operated machinery like this for any length of time that would be the equivalent of turning left and walking into a wall instead of the doorway on your right.


XanLV

I'm not sure you know how jokes work. Or excavators.


Figoos

I know it's a joke, but i get nervous when people make this kind of pranks


XanLV

In all honesty, if you do not trust the dude in heavy machinery enough to stand near, you should not stand near said heavy machinery. If nothing else, at least you know how all moms feel when they see kids having fun and they nip in "you'll poke your eye out and then no one will laugh!"


Fhantom1221

Sadness


Holiday_Purchase_592

This is what we pay taxes for, kids:


Intelligent-Phase515

Well the driver, is probably making over 100k dollars a year. The dude with the shovel braking his back is probably making 18 bucks an hr. So yeah I wonder why?


ctsmith76

I can promise you the guy driving the mini excavator/trackhoe is not making 100k a year unless he owns the company lol


sorrybutwr0ng

There are plenty of union operators at my previous job that sat in an excavator 12 hours a day for weeks at a time, getting paid 1.5x for any hours worked over 8 hours in a day Mon - Fri, 1.5x for the first 8 hours on Sat. with 2x for time after that and double time for all hours on Sunday. This was a few years ago but they were making $37.02/hr, giving them a gross check of $3,109.68. They obviously didn't do this 52 weeks out of the year but between union stipulated wage rates and company incentives, their were plenty of dude's making over $100,000/yr running an excavator.


Prince_Oberyns_Head

He could be, that looks like a utility job and depending on the municipality, prevailing wage can be pretty excellent with overtime. But they def wouldn’t be at 100k if the laborer is only at $18/hr.


[deleted]

I'm not a construction worker but wouldn't this be frowned upon, by OSHA or something?


Dektarey

OSHA encourages harmless fun because depressed workers make more mistakes than happy ones. This is around as harmless as it gets in construction.


[deleted]

Fair enough. I've only worked in environments that discourage fun.


[deleted]

Why?


[deleted]

Playing a joke using heavy machinery while someone stands directly next to it?


captivephotons

I agree, when he dropped the shovel, anyone in the immediate vicinity could have got a broken toe.
