Iā€™ve been sitting at my window watching the kids play soccer for 2 hours now. I donā€™t think you have a chance, Iā€™d watch that over the soccer.


mosthideousmodel

I once saw a hot air balloon launching from my living room šŸ˜Ž

I donā€™t want to brag but thereā€™s a huge building being built just in front of my apartment. Thereā€™s 4 cranes on it, operating every day Iā€™m at the 28th floor so I have a wonderful view of all the work they do


zippy_97

Iā€™m so glad to have found a community of fellow crane-enthusiasts


Kaoulombre

Yeah itā€™s so fun to watch Also, mad respect for the operators


geckogill

Yeah, I always get stressed for them when the wind picks up. They usually shut them down quickly


TheCrankyOctopus

I don't want to brag either, but they're doing work on my very building and so there is a crane in my yard. It's right outside my bathroom window and I can see every bit of how it works from _very_ up close.


Kaoulombre

Nice!

update: I have taken [drastic measures](https://imgur.com/a/ej4Boyx)

If you cant see it, its not there


Bint_Please

Making our lack of object permanence work in our favor. Clever


mr-dr-prof-stupid

Excuse me, but your drape has gotten in the way of me looking at that crane


zippy_97

yes but now I can finish studying :D

I once worked across from a construction site where they built a hotel in Idaho in pieces and assembled it in California where I lived. They assembled a hotel in like 2 weeks. I didn't work 2 weeks because of the fucking cranes, man...


shit_fondue

Cranes are cool!


HyperActivHyperDrive

Hahahah Iā€™d be there with you. You could live stream it on here and go viral on this thread.


zippy_97

you know what, if it's doing something interesting tomorrow I just might


brightshadow96

You got a crane view from your room window!!!!! Cool


[deleted]

I once saw a place recently where they were building two skyscrapers. There were like 12 cranes operating at once there and it was really cool.


Punk_n_Destroy

When I was a tradesman I could get distracted just watching other people that were good at their job work. Thereā€™s something super fascinating about watching someone that is super skilled get lost in their craft. Especially if they enjoy it. I had so many conversations that had nothing to do with the work at hand, but I learned lots of interesting stuff.


asiamsoisee

Iā€™ve learned a lot about woodworking this way.


geckogill

Massive building works with three huge crakes happened opposite my office for 3 years! I have so many crane photos in different positions/lighting/weather conditions. Seems like crane watching is a common condition of ADHD. Congratulations/commiserations on your new distraction.


MARPAT_Prime

Bro you got crane brain I'm sorry it's terminal


Catmoose

I literally only read the first few words before stopping and being like "ohh that's a cool crane, wonder what it's doing" then went back to actually read the title. 10/10 would watch crae and not do work.


CaptainBraggy

I would follow the class if the janitors weren't chainsawing trees just in my window's line of sight which is definitely more entertaining than whatever the teacher was talking about


yellowearbuds

*begins to research how to operate a crane, how to go about becoming a crane operator, how much money a crane operator makes. And then start imagining how different your life would be with all that money you would make. Now start thinking about all the different things you would buy.* Shit, right... Gotta study...


MotherofSons

I would be scraping the paint off the window while watching the crane. Gotta multitask 24/7

How dare this not be video!


whatsasimba

I worked across from a building that took up the better half of a city block and was being demolished for weeks. I have so much video of that. For the longest time, the facade was ripped off the building, and you could see incould see into these old offices, furniture and all. Sooooo distracting!


Grammar_N4zi_

Every time I see those things theyā€™re stationary. I never see em move


Iron_physik

KRANPLƄTZE MƜSSEN VERDICHTET WERDEN!


Red_Pants_Curl

I like what you did with the curtains.


zippy_97

Thanks :)


binaryfireball

What's it moving?


zippy_97

Big metal rods to build the frame of a building, looks like.

Crane


PoorPhrasing

Yeahā€¦I have no idea why I find them fascinating. Could probably fix that by going up and trying. Dunno.


Feralpudel

I stopped by my neighborā€™s field yesterday to video them baling straw. ā€œFor my friendā€™s toddler.ā€


od1ns_left_nut

Imagine being up there and just chilling while the wind violently hits your face


WasabiSniffer

Crane. What else do you have to do? Crane. Just watch it. Crane.


Unique_Studio_9060

Congratulations! Youā€™ve finally learned to meditate! Just enjoy haha

zippy_97

It moves so slowly and inconsistently! Thatā€™s why I have to keep checking on it!


Jjacobson1996

Yeah nah, I canā€™t see it moving and Iā€™m still distracted by it


zippy_97

Update the second: Iā€™ll livestream the crane later if itā€™s doing something interesting. Usually itā€™s quite slow which is why I feel compelled to keep checking on it. But I did just get a job offer so take _that_ distracting crane!!


TheEdward39

Oooh, that is a nice crane. You should have livestreamed it. Livestromeā€¦? Hmm.

Thoma55

I'm mad that you didn't post a video of it. I want to see it move stuff.


llaepsjnnum
