Welders know nothing but complain, make BBQ pits, eat hot chip, and lie.

Electricians are tweakers.

Painters are also high, but on downers rather than uppers like the Electricians.

Plumbers are wealthy kings who never show up because they make more than you (and make sure you know it) and they don't need the work.

Truck drivers and equipment operators are ornery and drag up as soon as you ask them to change any plan even in the slightest.

Ironworkers and roofers are hot-headed and insane due to having spent too much time in the sun.

Carpenters are always sick, injured, or claiming disability. They always have a really good excuse for not showing up to work.

Scaffold builders and insulators only speak Spanish, unless you also speak Spanish, then they only speak Portuguese.

Red hats are fat snitches who ignore anything actually dangerous and only focus on the lowest hanging fruit like not wearing double hearing protection, wearing gloves, insane social distancing requirements, etc.

Young PM's with degrees: completely clueless and insecure and try to act like insufferable know-it-all douches to compensate

Older PM's without degrees: can't do math or use computers and insecure so they try to act like insufferable know-it-all douches to compensate.

There are good workers and people with expensive degrees. Many times the two overlap. When they don't, the latter is the most annoying regardless of career.

Finance - claim to be data experts but are actually just number crunchers/report monkeys. Sorry, being good at excel doesn't mean you know big data practices

Managers. Don't pay shite attention to a project, have forgotten all of their engineering skills if they ever even had them and still insist they can make design choices, ignore even the most basic estimates on complexity and time and pretty much make their own schedules, then get pissed at the engineers for not getting the work done.




Damn. You been following me around or what?

"Chief Information Officers" who don't know their arse from a hole in the ground. Also, how do these morons get certified then have no clue how to actually stay compliant?

information security professionals are like a box of bean boozled, you don't know if you're getting shite or something palatable.

Radio and TV sales.
Selling air.
And the account executives (stupid name) always have that "I'm a winner" personal going on.

Engineer here also, know many that are the salt of the Earth that would rather talk about deer hunting than rebar. Now some of these new grads have me worried, they would rather look at a computer screen than the actual project and most of them do not have a sense of humor.

Politicians are the worst to deal with.

People in sales who think social media contacts will do their job for them. “Hey guys, I’m looking for people interested in learning what my company can do to make $$$$ for you. Now go!!!!!”

We say this, but 0.0% chance any reasonable attorney wants prolonged litigation against an unrepresented party or to deal with an unrepresented party on the other side of the deal


I've done both, and you are correct sir. The pro se litigant has moved into first place.

Also, a significant % of my disputes over the years have resulted from the client's and/or opposition's failure to hire a lawyer much earlier.
