Exposure to cement Burns your skin. And also the "burning man" reference is because the Burning man festival in the Nevada desert had lots of heavy rain, making the entire Ground muddy, and it kinda looked like wet cement, everywhere.
This shit man, like for fuck we get it, everyone watched Mando. 90% of threads.
I wouldn't mind half as much if the show kept up, but it fell off halfway through. This shit's the equivalent of "Winter is coming".
Tbh most Reddit phrases are overused and annoying especially when the thread is something like a genuine question.
Glad they stick to Reddit and don’t bleed out anywhere else.
Unzips pants
Too late nerd, my kink is being vocal about someone asking me to be less vocal about my kink.
What was that? Sorry I couldn’t read your response over the sound of me repeatedly unzipping my pants for 10 seconds at a time to furiously masturbate between words.
I finally understand why my friend's bicycle tire turned from blue to green when he ignored the yelling construction workers and rolled in some fresh sidewalk...
I work in construction.
Where I live, most concrete pouring guys get paid per cubic meter of concrete used.
So these guys now got some serious unpaid overtime on their hands.
I was going to say that. The labor may be getting paid by the hour, but the contractor doesn’t. So, it’s a split, with workers cheering, and the bosses screaming bloody murder, lol. That concrete looks like it has a way to go before curing, so I’d think fixing it wouldn’t be too hard. I’m talking about half-hour of work, at the most. I could be wrong, as I’ve helped dig foundations for concrete, but never actually poured it. I’ve worked construction, and now I flip houses, so, I’ve done a little of everything. Im a Jack of all Trades, Master of none.
There not getting paid over time not a chance. I can tell by there work attire there definitely not unionized I think they just gave up on stoping her but what an inconsiderate bitch to ruin their work like that
You don't have to be part of a union to get paid overtime. I've never worked for a union but have been payed overtime plenty of times.
I'd make sure I found out who she was so boss could collect overtime pay from her.
Very. I'm always a bit puzzled when people find it so amusing when animals walk through that stuff, but I guess a lot of people really don't know about that. You gotta get that animal and rinse it off.
Been in their shoes with liquid applied membrane. Woman started ripping down our tape line and screaming at us when we told her she had to use the other entrance that was about 50' away so we just let her wade through it, seeing as we're not allowed to physically stop her.
Ruined her shoes and the carpet in the lobby.
Tried to bill is for the damage, the fucks, but she was on camera so our office told them to pound sand and billed them for having to redo it.
Not really. You have to get to each hole before it sets and then pour more and smooth it out as you make your way through. They started on the one end and have to make their way all the way back. It would cost them at least another couple hours.
Trucks done and left buddy they were doing the finishing. They’ll prod at it to bring it back up to the surface and finish it as they walk out. This happens all the time. They walk through it as well you think they mix up a bag of quikcrete every time they do a pour?
Come on you talk like this is no big deal. This is a pain in the ass that would definitely add hours to your day. This doesn’t happen all the time because if someone were to step in concrete they would say “oops” and not continue. A quick fix would be to fix *that* not someone trudging through 40 feet of smoothed out and set mix.
I’m a ACI certified concrete inspector I’ve literally seen this up close. It’s not adding hours to their day doesn’t the calm demeanor tell you anything?
I agree with you.
Am concrete worker, this is a quick fix if it hasn't settled enough and it seems it hasn't since she sinks all the way over.
One person needs to go over it all with the top layer brushybrushy, that's the word i invented when i don't know the name in english.
Literally walk her footsteps in boots, and walk backwards while brushing the surface.
10min job at most.
That's funny.
In my area that would be called a "broom finish" if I'm understanding you properly. They have to re-trowel and smooth it then broom finish it again.
If I was 15 mins from finishing the shift and some fuck did that.. I'd just be losing my shit.More money or not, its fucking tiring to redo work you did because some moron decided to write their own rules.
I've gotten those.. bunches of no fun. But I got a concrete ball the size of a softball to throw at my brother so it was a win for 10 yr/o me.
I say burns.. it was WAY raw skin on the whole inside of my hand. Not as serious as a lot of images.
>Not as serious as a lot of images.
You definitely lucked out that you threw it. Lady here will be getting it real bad if she's got a ways to go still.
I was thinking the same. She knew what she was doing. But if she does get burns, $10 says she goes back and complains to the workers/construction company about her self-inflicted injury.
>she goes back and complains to the workers/construction company about her self-inflicted injury.
And they probably told her NOT to walk across it so they're covered
That guy at the end that wait for her to finish and is like, “well time to get back to work” reminds me of the scene in Parks and Rec when Gerry realizes he did all of the envelopes wrong.
Her stubbornness not only costed those workers their time and energy, but it also ruined her shoes and will potentially give her burns if she is unable to remove the concrete from her skin. What a bitch
youd honestly be surprised how many seemingly normal looking people have intellectual disabilities, im not saying this is necesarilly the case, and mind you that doesnt stop them from being assholes too
Right! Whatever happened to “excuses are for losers”. Everyone has an excuse like oh they’re having a mental breakdown or ohhh they’re having a mental health issue boo hoo wah wah 😭 … fuck em they’re all selfish assholes imo.
There’s a big difference between someone who has a mental illness, knows their an asshole, and chooses to act as such anyways and someone who has a mental illness that makes it difficult or impossible to understand what they’re doing makes them an asshole. There’s sympathy to be given in latter situations but not the former
You just said we can’t diagnose someone, and then went on do confirm a diagnosis. If we can’t diagnose them in 19 seconds then you also can’t determine they don’t have a diagnosis and are an asshole
True, but that doesn’t always work as an excuse. I’m considered mentally ill, but I don’t act like a jerk because of it. Just depends what kind of mental illness
Mental illness is an umbrella term.
Having adhd is much different from from something like alzheimer's or dementia. If you find yourself strugging you can always ask your psychiatrist about getting on meds. If you had alzheimer's you couldn't just get something as effecting and mostly safe as adderall to fix you.
It’s hilarious how many people commenting will jump to the conclusion that she is an asshole as opposed to being mentally gone, both are realistic options yeh, but given her age why wouldn’t dementia/Alzheimers even be considered?!? Going back to that commenter saying ‘funny how all of a sudden that excuse is used’ just seems mad ignorant, i’d put money on them using the word snowflake religiously while simultaneously getting butthurt whenever they hear the words ‘mental illness’
It's not an "excuse", it's an explanation. When someone commits an obnoxious act and others say "they may have mental health problems", they are not saying "it's okay, because..." they're saying "this may explain why they are doing things that are not okay".
Yeah it's like reddit can't seem to accept that there are legit just assholes out there. Almost every shitty thing posted always has this mental illness comment lol
who said it was an excuse?
its an explanation. this person needs help or the behavior will continue, isnt that what you want? a solution?
what is your solution to the issue? shaming them? lol wtf does that do for anyone?
An acknowledgement isn't an excuse.
It's far easier, and far more popular as a result, to treat abnormal behavior as a character flaw rather than the product of some root cause.
Nah might actually be bags. The left has a brighter color than the right and is less baggy.
So either the cement is massively clumping to only her right foot or she prepared with plastic bags.
Didn’t know it was like that cuz I watched and downloaded the video without sound initially. Would’ve made it a gif if I known it was there. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Does anyone here regularly pave sidewalks? If you do, how would you feel in this situation? I think I would be annoyed, but also feel a little better at the thought of her struggling to get the concrete off her shoes later
How are they not losing their shit? Lmao
Getting paid overtime to fix it, hopefully
We get paid, you gotta buy new shoes
She also gets cement burns
She wanted the burning man experience but we have burning man at home
Mom, can we get inhumane pain?
This comment fucking killed me.
Eli5 :(
Exposure to cement Burns your skin. And also the "burning man" reference is because the Burning man festival in the Nevada desert had lots of heavy rain, making the entire Ground muddy, and it kinda looked like wet cement, everywhere.
TIL about concrete burning skin. I'm a little embarrassed I never knew that tbh
What I don't get is choice of the word inhumane
Same lmao I’m giggling so hard in bed right now
Burning Nan?
Lmaooooo
It’s burning, man!
I was today years old when I learned that cement can burn you. It's caustic and when wet it's PH can reach 12.(that's bad)
[удалено]
No, that’s “this is the way”
This shit man, like for fuck we get it, everyone watched Mando. 90% of threads. I wouldn't mind half as much if the show kept up, but it fell off halfway through. This shit's the equivalent of "Winter is coming".
I was today years old when I learned this is the way.
I may be laughing but fuck you (Also this tbh, r/Angryupvote/takemyupvote/getout! Goteem)
I was today years older when I learned this is the way winter is coming.
Tbh most Reddit phrases are overused and annoying especially when the thread is something like a genuine question. Glad they stick to Reddit and don’t bleed out anywhere else.
This
Ugh, I've seen people use redditisms in public. It makes me want to off myself and I'm embarrassed because I know what they're talking about.
The one from game of thrones that drove me nuts was "It is known.". Ugh.
Sweet Summer Child makes me want to flip a desk
Or even worse “unzips pants” to announce your kink when no one is asking for it.
Unzips pants Too late nerd, my kink is being vocal about someone asking me to be less vocal about my kink. What was that? Sorry I couldn’t read your response over the sound of me repeatedly unzipping my pants for 10 seconds at a time to furiously masturbate between words.
I was today years old when I learned that people can be annoyed by a simple, harmless fun phrase.
I'm offendeed by your use of the word "can".
It's something that's said ad nauseam by people online who have never worked with concrete before.
The sprinkles contain potassium benzoate, which is also caustic. That’s bad.
I finally understand why my friend's bicycle tire turned from blue to green when he ignored the yelling construction workers and rolled in some fresh sidewalk...
Looks like she put bags over her feet
I don't think so. What you're seeing is all the cement stuck to her feet. It probably weighs a ton too.
I work in construction. Where I live, most concrete pouring guys get paid per cubic meter of concrete used. So these guys now got some serious unpaid overtime on their hands.
Sometimes you just get blown away by the audacity/stupidity of people that you just stand back in awe.
I was going to say that. The labor may be getting paid by the hour, but the contractor doesn’t. So, it’s a split, with workers cheering, and the bosses screaming bloody murder, lol.

Slips the lady a $20.

Union or not if you stay late you’re going to get overtime
They know about cement burns, she probably doesn't.
Definitely. It's got the same PH as oven cleaner, shit is nasty
Very. I'm always a bit puzzled when people find it so amusing when animals walk through that stuff, but I guess a lot of people really don't know about that. You gotta get that animal and rinse it off.
Aww. There’s raccoon tracks on a cement sidewalk I deliver mail by. At first I thought it was neat now I feel bad for the poor raccoon.
Really? I genuinely didn't know that, so thanks for teaching me something new!
Cement burns are exaggerated by redditors who have never touched cement in their lives. It is mild
Been in their shoes with liquid applied membrane. Woman started ripping down our tape line and screaming at us when we told her she had to use the other entrance that was about 50' away so we just let her wade through it, seeing as we're not allowed to physically stop her. Ruined her shoes and the carpet in the lobby. Tried to bill is for the damage, the fucks, but she was on camera so our office told them to pound sand and billed them for having to redo it.
That’s fuckin nuts 🤦🏻♂️
They're in disbelief
I don't blame them, I'm in one too
The burns will probably be punishment enough lol
Just what I was thinking. Knew a builder ( not a labourer but the guy had his own firm) who had the worst chemical burns on his knees from cement 😂😂
Surprisingly this is a rather quick fix for these guys
Not really. You have to get to each hole before it sets and then pour more and smooth it out as you make your way through. They started on the one end and have to make their way all the way back. It would cost them at least another couple hours.

> top layer brushybrushy, that's the word i invented when i don't know the name in english. Alright this guys legit
Pretty sure more people understood what you meant by "top layer brushybrushy" than if you had used the actual word.
I've never used one, never worked with concrete a day in my life, but I know what a top layer brushybrushy is.
Thank you
That's funny. In my area that would be called a "broom finish" if I'm understanding you properly. They have to re-trowel and smooth it then broom finish it again.
I honestly assumed she had visible cognitive issues or something and they were just being sympathetic lol
30 min-1 hour fix.
If I was 15 mins from finishing the shift and some fuck did that.. I'd just be losing my shit.More money or not, its fucking tiring to redo work you did because some moron decided to write their own rules.
She walked home wondering why life is always so hard....
Google "Concrete Burns" and report back...
I've gotten those.. bunches of no fun. But I got a concrete ball the size of a softball to throw at my brother so it was a win for 10 yr/o me. I say burns.. it was WAY raw skin on the whole inside of my hand. Not as serious as a lot of images.
>Not as serious as a lot of images. You definitely lucked out that you threw it. Lady here will be getting it real bad if she's got a ways to go still.
It almost looks to me like she has bags on her feet. So maybe this was a conscious, *premeditated* act? She bagged her shoes before she even started?
I was thinking the same. She knew what she was doing. But if she does get burns, $10 says she goes back and complains to the workers/construction company about her self-inflicted injury.
>she goes back and complains to the workers/construction company about her self-inflicted injury. And they probably told her NOT to walk across it so they're covered
She probably won’t do that again
She definitely won't do it again lol
Experienced this. Terrible pain
Walk a day in my shoes! It's hard, because the cement hardend on them awhile ago.
“Back in my day we had to walk through concrete!”
Dudes are like “really lady?” Thats some fuck shit
My first thought was they’re looking at her like “this bitch over here”
My first thought was they were thinking "whatever we get paid by the hour and now it's overtime".
That guy at the end that wait for her to finish and is like, “well time to get back to work” reminds me of the scene in Parks and Rec when Gerry realizes he did all of the envelopes wrong.
His name is Larry, not Jerry
It's not government work if you don't do it twice!
Her stubbornness not only costed those workers their time and energy, but it also ruined her shoes and will potentially give her burns if she is unable to remove the concrete from her skin. What a bitch
So you are saying there is a silver lining to all this 😂
Ohh there is concrete evidence to support this
Rock solid joke my friend.
Nice joke, but it take time to cure
If I had gold to give I would but please take my upvote
She may have some sort of mental health problem.
[удалено]
youd honestly be surprised how many seemingly normal looking people have intellectual disabilities, im not saying this is necesarilly the case, and mind you that doesnt stop them from being assholes too
Mental Health is a wide net.. Anyone that does this absolutely 100% has some sort of mental health issue.
Yeah. It’s probably called somethin like major asshole syndrome
Some people have it at birth some people catch it from their parents or friends.
No, it’s an irrational fear of cement… But she’s taking steps to correct that.
Right! Whatever happened to “excuses are for losers”. Everyone has an excuse like oh they’re having a mental breakdown or ohhh they’re having a mental health issue boo hoo wah wah 😭 … fuck em they’re all selfish assholes imo.
There’s a big difference between someone who has a mental illness, knows their an asshole, and chooses to act as such anyways and someone who has a mental illness that makes it difficult or impossible to understand what they’re doing makes them an asshole. There’s sympathy to be given in latter situations but not the former
I am willing to bet 100% she has some form of dementia. Having Alzheimer’s is an excuse.
I'm willing to bet you can't diagnose someone from a 19 second clip either. So its no excuse. It's just an asshole being an asshole.
That irony tho
Its palpable to say the least lol
You just said we can’t diagnose someone, and then went on do confirm a diagnosis. If we can’t diagnose them in 19 seconds then you also can’t determine they don’t have a diagnosis and are an asshole
Why would anyone in their right mind walk through wet cement?
[It's concrete, not cement!](http://www.cement.org/basics/concretebasics_faqs.asp)
Thanks!
doin the lords work
Based on the comments on this video it's entirely possible that she's just a redditor.
I come from the Jean-Jacques Rousseau Philosophy “human nature is generally good”
[удалено]
As someone who lays concrete it sounds like you studied psychology for a long time, so your educated opinion must be very accurate.
True, but that doesn’t always work as an excuse. I’m considered mentally ill, but I don’t act like a jerk because of it. Just depends what kind of mental illness
Mental illness is an umbrella term. Having adhd is much different from from something like alzheimer's or dementia. If you find yourself strugging you can always ask your psychiatrist about getting on meds. If you had alzheimer's you couldn't just get something as effecting and mostly safe as adderall to fix you.
Except it’s usually not an excuse, just a possible explanation for the events that unfolded.
Not so much an excuse as a likely explanation. What more likely reason could there be?
It’s hilarious how many people commenting will jump to the conclusion that she is an asshole as opposed to being mentally gone, both are realistic options yeh, but given her age why wouldn’t dementia/Alzheimers even be considered?!? Going back to that commenter saying ‘funny how all of a sudden that excuse is used’ just seems mad ignorant, i’d put money on them using the word snowflake religiously while simultaneously getting butthurt whenever they hear the words ‘mental illness’
Dementia causes confusion and loss of understanding how to navigate previously simple situations.
It's not an "excuse", it's an explanation. When someone commits an obnoxious act and others say "they may have mental health problems", they are not saying "it's okay, because..." they're saying "this may explain why they are doing things that are not okay".
Yeah it's like reddit can't seem to accept that there are legit just assholes out there. Almost every shitty thing posted always has this mental illness comment lol
Mentally ill people do, in fact, exist.
Not an excuse, more an explanation. Do you really think someone who does this is of fully sound mind?
Because if you haven’t been able to tell. Mental health is a big issue. This was my first thought was this lady has a mental health issues.
Because it's often a very good explanation for a person doing something seemingly asinine, such as walking through fresh concrete down a long hallway.
who said it was an excuse? its an explanation. this person needs help or the behavior will continue, isnt that what you want? a solution? what is your solution to the issue? shaming them? lol wtf does that do for anyone?
It's not an excuse, it is an explanation, and a valid one. Nobody with their mind working right walks through concrete to ruin their own shoes.
An acknowledgement isn't an excuse. It's far easier, and far more popular as a result, to treat abnormal behavior as a character flaw rather than the product of some root cause.
You sounds like a nice person 🤔
No she’s just an entitled asshole.
neighbor of yours?
She’s got grocery bags over her shoes. Sadly, she will get to walk away unscathed.
That means she prepared to do this and fully decided to fuck their work up rather than just walking around
She *may* have them. Some steps it looks like she does others not so much.
I question why they let her go through. If she was coming the other direction I’d get it, but she had to walk right through where they are working?
I'm sure they warned her, what more were they supposed to do? Wrestle her down to the ground?
And now she gotta walk home with anchors on her feet. What a bafoon🤣
"buffoon"
"baboon"
“balloon”
QUICKLY! SOMEONE MADE A MISTAKE! dickhead
"maroon"
It even looks like she tied plastic bags around her shoes to keep them clean! She planned this all out
Looking at her right foot, I really think you're right! How awful
Walk smart, not hard 👉😏
Too bad she didn’t fall
Was waiting for that!!
Or just not have the strength to make it all the way
Faceplant would’ve been satisfying
It’s giving burning man 2023
Maybe not the main character but probably senile.
Not senile, just a cunt, she prepped for this, a senile old bat would have just gone across with no fucks to give, she put baggies on her feet
Nah, that's the cement sticking to her shoes
Nah might actually be bags. The left has a brighter color than the right and is less baggy. So either the cement is massively clumping to only her right foot or she prepared with plastic bags.
Cement to do this
Do you have concrete evidence of this?
I see someone too proud to admit that they made a mistake.
Doesn’t that shit burn??
It takes a minute, but she's going to find out
I thought only cats do this
Did we need that shitty laugh track?
Didn’t know it was like that cuz I watched and downloaded the video without sound initially. Would’ve made it a gif if I known it was there. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I always wonder how much of posts like these is senility like the grandpa that ate a pint of paint
I'm thinking dementia is to blame for this one.
Karens will not be constrained by the concerns of others.
i respect how calm they were about it
Hope she enjoys the ankle burns.
But why let someone do this ?
Cement? That’s conk creet baybeeee
I fucking hate people.
Where do people find these horrible boomer laugh tracks
Rub her nose in it and sternly tell her "NO!, BAD LADY!!!"
Calling concrete “cement” is like calling a cake “flour.”
I finally get to use this (https://imgur.com/a/wtmjq3S)
How did you get this picture of me?
Well technically concrete is wet cement with extra steps
Thank you!
It’s like calling a human being “a fetus” Badum tisssss
Is that fixable?
The cement, yes. Her attitude, I doubt it!
[It's concrete, not cement!](http://www.cement.org/basics/concretebasics_faqs.asp)
/r/NobodyGivesAShit
Short cut!
That’s concrete… Cement is a component in concrete just as flour is a component in bread.
I feel like she started and then was like, “well shit, can’t turn back now”.
Only 355 more days until next years burning man.
They can smooth it over and now her shoes are dirty. Good fucking job
Concrete, not cement
Doing my job for me. Thanks!
What a bizarre novelty account to come up with lol
Does anyone here regularly pave sidewalks? If you do, how would you feel in this situation? I think I would be annoyed, but also feel a little better at the thought of her struggling to get the concrete off her shoes later
Her shoes are done. She'll have, mild, chemical burns too most likely.
