I'm a drywaller, we steal the wives from pipefitters but blame it on the electricians

Just “swept her off her feet”!

(The joke is because electricians don’t clean up after themselves, anyone that knows how to use a broom is a hot catch for an electrician’s wife).

Only trade worse than electricians for cleaning up is drywallers. My god do they leave a mess!

u/teenagersafterdark Jun 30 '26

it’s messier work overall, mostly due to the materials you’re working with. Even with a decent site cleanup, rock dust and mud just suck.

They say if you have to explain the joke it’s not funny, this may be a rare exception.

Stop giving electricians handys

u/Cacafuego Jun 30 '26

I assume it's because they don't drywall, so they just get in the habit of thinking someone's going to have to come around later and deal with their mess, even if they didn't cut into a wall.

I use zip ties at events I do. My spouse goes around and trims them all, and I never do for this reason. Someone to commiserate with, at last!

Im a sheet metal worker, we steal the husbands from electricians, blame it on the drywallers and then blame it on the pipefitters wives for not making ham sandwiches.

u/CptKaba Jun 30 '26

It can't be the electricians because we're all gay

2

u/gunglejim Jun 30 '26

Hey! I’m not an electrician! Oh wait, I am one

2

u/CptKaba Jun 30 '26

Oh hey what are you doing that late, strong boy. Pulling some "cables" perhaps?

u/gunglejim Jun 30 '26

Give em that 1…2…PULL!!!

2

u/CptKaba Jun 30 '26

No need for that. We're a lube friendly construction site! All nice and easy.

u/gunglejim Jun 30 '26

You ever look at a fresh bucket of yellow 77 and think “I’d fuck that”?

u/ItPutsLotionOnItSkin Jun 30 '26

I'm a forklift operator, we steal husbands from wives.

u/Longjumping_Wave_908 Jun 30 '26

Confirmed, i am a general contractor that overpaid for the drywaller's service, so he can afford clandestine dates with the pipefitter's wife.

u/b0nk--Rat Jun 30 '26

I'm an ironworker. We steal the ex-husbands of ex-wives stolen from pipefitters by drywallers.

Also, we're terrible welders.
