Nothing is more irritating than when talking to another tradesmen of a different craft at a bar or party or something and some retard stumbles up and says “oh yeah bro I’m in a blue collar trade too!” And the you figure out they work in a fucking warehouse. These people are on the same rung as retail and fast food workers in my eyes. There are countless ways to break into trades to lean skills to earn more than 30k a year that these people could try but they refuse to because learning something new is too exhausting for them

Yup. Kid was being a dumbass and pulled out in front of a car that "he figured would stop"
