What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

And it's not because they can't afford a haircut or new threads either. Some of those guys make more than professional types, yet have mangled beards, mullets, and dirty hair that look like it hasn't been washed in months!!!

Is it symbolic and they're sticking it to the 'man'? Or are they mostly too lazy to care because they're out of shape and leather-faced?

It seems that these guys have three passions in life: fishing, hunting, and drinking beer till they pass out..

Not everyone needs to whore themselves out to the man.

this thread delivers.

Re: What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

more then likely weed and alchohol as well as other drugs play a major role in this whole deal, and last but not least low self esteem, so the next time u see one of these poor bastards...... give em a hug and lighten up there day

I would much rather OP's like this get nuked instead of "where should I eat in Boston?" etc etc etc.

If you are really this upset that your plumber doesn't take better care of himself for you, perhaps you should admit you have teh ghey.

Re: What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

have you ever done any real work on a car? or a days construction? what do you want them to do take a shower every hour?

I'm not refering to plumbers who come to your house and fix the leaky toilet. Most of those guys have grooming standards to abide by. I'm talking about longshore workers, pipe fitters, iron workers, welders, loggers, etc.
Espcially longshore workers. They average 100k+ and a lot of them look like they came out of a homeless shelter

So you expect lumberjacks to wear three-piece suits? What the [censored] is a logger supposed to wear? I don't get this OP at all.

According to my pops who was a lumberjack in Maine, two layers of long underwear. Boots, jeans. Hat. And of course plaid flannel shirt.

OP,

If you actually busted your hump for 40 hours a week instead of posting on 2p2 from the comfort of your office, you'd probably care a whole lot less about your appearance, too. And your OP is beyond retarded.

Re: What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

I used to cut down trees for a living. Worked in the hot [censored] Sun all day, usually high as a kite. Of course, I looked like crap when I was done. Am I going to put on a [censored] suit to go out and have a few beers? [censored] no. I'd take a shower and throw on some reasonably clean jeans (not everyone has Mommy to do our laundry). Sometimes I'd go straight from work and still be covered in sweat and sawdust. So the [censored] what?


BTW: Your girlfriend dug my biceps.

Of course I've done real work on a car. Changed the oil, installed a new starter, installed a radiator. Heck I even changed the battery a few times!!

As far as doing construction work goes, I did exactly one day of stud framing. It wasn't really my cup of tea..

Re: What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

OP,

Sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that construction worker from the Village People wasn't really a construction worker.

I seriously doubt that. You are only saying that to cover up for this awful mess of a thread you made. You sound like an average california metrosexual.

get out of this forum and never come back.

Well take it from a former Ironworker, YOU GET [censored] DIRTY DOING CONSTRUCTION OR ANY OTHER MANUAL LABOR JOB! It is unavoidable. Now outside of work I dressed as balla as possible but at work forget it. Have you ever worked in the mud/rain for 10hrs a day for months during the winter? Pretty easy to understand?!?!?!

He's already made it clear that he understands getting dirty, but can't you barbarians at least get a decent manicure? And would some styling gel KILL you neanderthals?

Sheesh.

I'm glad someone else picked up on the California feel of this post.

Re: What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

considering her location is qwest field, she's probably in seattle. Same difference.

Re: What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

The coasts in general suck in terms of judging normal people. Seattle makes sense as most people there wouldn't understand that people actually have to work IRL to pay the rent. I've worked a few blue collared jobs before and wouldn't ever change before going to a bar or picking up groceries. Who cares?

Re: What\'s up with blue collar workers looking like homeless bums?
 

Klomp,

There are a [censored] ton of blue collar workers on the east coast.

[/ QUOTE ]haha, for real. There isn't [censored] for blue collar jobs in Seattle!


OP, you sound really ass clownish. Those guys make the amount of money they do because they work in [censored], rough environments doing, in many cases a dangerous or skilled job.

Now go [censored] yourself and eat a bowl of dicks you uppity [censored] pencil pushing trust fund baby.

Obv, but my guess is that the average poster on here from the east cost isn't exactly in touch with the working man.
