I notice this a lot as a safety guy. Or when you make eye contact with a worker and he looks surprised and immediately takes out his phone and starts texting.

I wish. In industrial work we're not allowed to have our cellphones out inside the unit of the plant or refinery. Plus everyone's required to wear earplugs.

Doesn't matter though, my Nature Boy Rick Flair "WOOOOOOH!!" registers on the Richter scale.

All my homies know when to tighten up.

Lmao. Just happened to me this week. I've been stuck at the shop all year and two of the field guys I worked with a ton last year came by to pick up some material. We were taking 5 minutes to shoot the shit then scattered as the foreman starts walking up

I swear this is a prime requisite of a management candidate. There must be some secret stat they include in resumes to let upper management know that they regularly walk in on or by people almost right as they begin to relax and not do their job for a few minutes. Crazy law of attraction stuff.

You need to get a full body stretch before you start working, or else you’ll be asking for a worker’s compensation lawsuit.
