That would make a good tv show........That Guy..:...I guess it takes all types,that guy is better than phone guy,the one that calls you at 4 am in the mornings to talk,cause hes drunk,then theres always the fetch guy...usually with contractors....he thinks hes a lineman but only delivers stuff and fetches.....then the brainy types........they are smart,but they seem to come up with the stupidist stuff.....amazing.......I like the quiet types,they are some of the best lineman,they just wont speak their mind.

Ummmmmm I have worked with that guy more than once and it always made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. One was possibly the smoothest lineman ever but he hadda penchant for beer. I have personally seen him down an entire 6 pack and throw every empty can under the rear wheels as he drove.He maybe took 3 seconds to completely drain a 12 oz can.Multiply that by six and he hadda be gettin there.
Worked with another( also a great lineman when on a pole) that saw no harm smokin the funny stuff or havin a few beers in between jobs. Problem was he did it in front of some young and way less talented apprentices and sent the message that it was OK.
Worked with another that could expound for days on anything technical but give him a bucket truck an he would always set it up wrong and be tied in knots trying to do the work.
And then there was the guy that talked a big game but hung wayyyyyyyyyy back when it came time to do the deed.And the guy that begged for callouts but couldnt speak coherently 2 hrs after he was off duty.
Yeah I know that Guy.

STLmo, is that the guy who is quick to put on a harness,always beats you into a bucket,seems eager to work ?....the thing is ,hes always on the non working side of a double bucket....how does he figure that one out? Is that,that guy your talking about?

[STLmo1986]

Thatd be the guy. The guy that is just full of "wisdom" and half witted ideas. The dude that makes ya glad ya dont have to work with him all the time

Ive always enjoyed watching that guy that will try to pull a squirt boom or even a bucket truck out of the mud with a pick-up truck,although it is stuck axle deep.:D
