Default Re: My Dad\'s [censored] Union

One of my fondest memories is once when I was photographing trade show booths. The show was over and there were crews disassembling the booths all around me. I overheard a booth owner and the showroom carpenter talking about why the carpenter was going to have to stop work while he called in an electrician.

The guy would not take down a little airplane on a wire powered by a 9volt battery. after fighting with the booth owner about union regs for a bit the guy had to walk away to get better cell reception. While he was gone I took my ladder over there took the plane down, took out the battery and layed them on top of his tools.

When he came back he was super pissed. Yelling about "who took this plane down blah blah". I walked over and said "I did" He asks who the hell I think I am. I answer "Someone who doesn't work for your piece of [censored] union." and walked away while he lost his mind.
