“let’s all go around the circle and introduce ourselves” is something that comes up in outdoor activities a lot, and it’s one of my least favourite things about doing stuff in the outdoors.

I’m never going to remember all these names.

Yeah, that’s a good point.

I’m surprised they haven’t done this already.

I’m really impressed by how level headed everyone is here, to be honest.

Yeah, definitely don’t bother people at work.

This is probably the most reasonable response so far. You don’t just approach someone for no reason, there needs to be something to start a conversation about.

No, that’s step-siblings. Doesn’t count.

Anon’s sister sounds hilarious.

Honestly, that’s on the government for not either levying the industry, or making them set up a fund to pay for that.

Both her art style and her takes are bottom of the barrel, and despite that, her supporters are fucking rabid, and will throw every insult they can think of at you.

Oh, that’s gross.

How long would it have taken to travel thirty miles back in the day? A quick search seems to indicate this would be a full day’s journey at least.

Carry a metric tonne or so of wallboard up the stairs because the lift hasn’t been installed yet, empty all the wheelie bins on site, sweep the floor, all that stuff.

Basically, the people that do all the work that’s beneath the dignity of a tradie.

No. A handyman is a skilled role.

The guy bringing timber and wallboard up the stairs to where that guy is working is a site labourer.

Glad to be enlightened, clearly this doesn’t happen, since you haven’t experienced it.

Big construction sites where I live definitely have such people, and it’s a horrible job.

There are definitely manual labour jobs that require little to no skill, a lot of site labourer work is like that. Carrying wallboard, emptying bins, just generally carrying shit around.

So, you’re a manual labourer with no qualifications or skills, and you’re starting to feel the effects of that?

Most people are qualified and starting to earn decent money by their thirties.

It’s not as bad as people make out, but buying a brand new Windows machine is a pretty annoying experience.

You’re bragging to total strangers on the Internet.

So, you started making your fortune at thirteen?
