Manual Labor

2019-04-29 at 4:20 PM UTCA 60yr old manual laborer is in most cases fitter and more able than some 24yr old tub o' lard who sits at a computer all day.

You're either underestimating a 1 eyed baboon or over estimating the "skill" needed to drive a folklift...as I recall when I got forklift certified at Compaq the "course" took me about 20 mins to complete from never having driven one to being Compaq Certified to do so lolol...pass the bananas. -
2019-04-29 at 4:45 PM UTCEww. Manual labour is for men. Ewwww.

2019-04-29 at 4:47 PM UTCI despise manual labour so much. I'm so happy to have the job I do.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2019-04-29 at 4:50 PM UTCI like to help out the guys in the back at least once a week to show them I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. They love it when daddy bends at the knees.

Anyone can get a license it's easy but that doesn't make you a good forklift driver. It's very simple but working in tight areas and stacking things really high requires good eyesight and precision. A non experienced driver can take twice the amount of time to do something an experienced one can do quickly. -

Yes your overestimating it, or your skills are limited...again a 1 eyed baboon can be proficient at driving a forklift in a day...The most experienced guy at compaq was also the saftey guy....he also managed to run over someones foot and knock a rack down with a forklift, experience doesn't always equate to more skill....my mom drove a car for 60yrs but she was about as capable as a no eyed baboon even after all that time.
And again...the idea of needing/having "skill" on a forklift is quite laughable... -
2019-04-29 at 5:11 PM UTCHe obviously wasn't very skilled if he caused an accident like that. He probably had the same "any idiot can do this" mentality that you do which is why he caused an accident.
Yes any idiot could drive a forklift but that doesn't mean they can do it well, or safely. -

Well that's the thing I'm getting at, it does...driving a forklift safety and efficiency IS so easy an idiot could do it and do it well.
Now if you feel it requires a lot of skill and concentration that says more about your level of abilities than the idiots... -
2019-04-29 at 5:17 PM UTCI like running a backhoe
I rent one from time to Time to dig shit up in the back 40
That’s a manly good time -
2019-04-29 at 5:20 PM UTCI used to drive a forklift while blacked out on benzos so I know it's easy but working in a fast paced warehouse where you have to do everything quickly is not something you can just jump into.
Most companies don't want inexperienced people doing that kind of stuff and they spend lots of time and money training people so they can get good enough to operate at that level. -
2019-04-29 at 5:29 PM UTCI like never having to call people in to fix my shit and my ability to fix my kids stuff to help them save some money and have a successful life.
Right now I need to remove all the Freon and replace it at my daughter's house as well as replace her leaking water heater. Just waiting on some warmer weather for the A/C work and waiting for Menards 11% off sale for the water heater. She's going to have to buy the heater and dielectric unions, but I'll drain and remove the old one and install the new one for her.
My son is waiting for me to replace his backyard flood light that keeps burning out (500 watts) with an LED model.
It feels good to have skills. -

If you can pull a 6G Immelman on your forklift and finish with a Split S you might want to consider becoming an F16 pilot. -
2019-04-29 at 5:31 PM UTCI don't mind manual labor, but it's not something I'd rely on. I have a brother whose wife makes pretty good money, so he actually doesn't have to work at all. But, he's nearly 50 and still does manual labor simply cause he enjoys it and doesn't have to ask his wife for money for weed and beer. He was in prison for murder and in and out of jail ever since, too, so I guess actual work seems like a great deal compared to that sort of thing.
