Malicious construction workers

Chris Maunder

Why is it that the construction crew that has spent the last 3 weeks ripping up the road outside my house does all the jack-hammering and road splitting at 7am-8am, then all the leaning around on shovels and nodding sagely to each other from 8-11, then are no where to be seen by mid afternoon? I've been working late (well, early, really) to try and fit everything in but there's no sleeping past 7am while the kids outside play. Wow - the glasses in my cupboards have just setup a symphony... BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG.... :sigh:

Because they knew it would piss you off and that you would write about it here. :-D

You just have to work early instead and quit early and go for a beer.

Watched code never compiles.

My bugs are of a finer quality late at night. The early morning ones? A little rough, a little uncivilised. Code. I mean code, not bugs.

Do you want me to have a word or two with them - in my own unqiue and non-confrontational way?

What's the use? He'll just be hearing a different sort of BANG BANG BANG BANG.

No, it will only be BANG - John thinks it's silly to shoot twice...

More than one worker...

There's an S at the end of the subject.

But it will only last for a couple of seconds, and then there will be complete silence (if you ignore the sirens from rapidly approaching emergncy vehicles).

More BANG BANG when the cops come to arrest you. ;P

Johnny J

You mean you don't have the firepower to shoot more than one person with one shot? ;) Just have to line them up correctly... However, I think you will find that once the first one is down, the rest will be too busy running for cover to do any more construction right away...

Nope. They weren't part of the initial agreement.

Good film!

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

Hmmm, I use JHP in my 1911's, so I'd have to use an AR-15 if I want a chance at two kills with one shot (a 5.56 NATO round will go through 1/4-inch steel plate at up to 30 yards, so soft-tissue shouldn't be a problem).

Construction workers aren't zombies.

Two words. Union Contract. You might as well move out and wait till they complete the work. Though that is highly unpredictable. :)

Just pretend they're trolls and ignore them. :)
