Wants to get his shit together -- becomes a plumber.
Plumbers make bank, they’re in demand a lot
They literally keep the shit of other people together... I don't know why I thought the people of green text would get the joke.
Aaah I am dense, thanks
FYI wasn’t criticizing you, was just saying
It took me a double read to get the joke. I'm dumdum
Now he's getting other people's shit together
At any time he can lay a deuce in one of them pipes and get paid for it too.
Trades like plumber, electricians, etc make good money. Especially if they unionize and get that OT.
Problem is breaking into them
Everyone wants more tradesmen but none of the current tradesmen want to train any
They're desperate now days. When I was younger and 20ish I tried breaking in and was basically told if I didn't have a friend or family in to forget about it. I eventually found myself a niche in the trades, but it was rough and not what I wanted. Now we're facing this demographic shift away from the boomers and because they where dicks about it then, it's a thing now.
I encourage any young person reading this who feels the slightest inclination to make a circut of their local union halls.
And crucially, they keep everyone's shit together
Indeed.
Now he can get other people's shit together, too.
anon is still slinging that crack.
Yeah. I wonder, what future generations will see in 4chan archives.
Plumbers make hand over fist if they're good at their job. Many people get turned away by the "you deal with shit pipes" stigma so whoever sticks around are in huge demand.
It's not so much what the pipes hold that turns me off, it's where the pipes are. Crawl spaces and attics and other shit holes. You get paid so well because it's not a very glamorous job.
I have Arachnophobia. Despite working on it in small ways throughout my life, I still get an extremely strong flight response when one is too close. I enjoy working with my hands and am decent at it. Sometimes I feel just a little cursed. A wee eight-legged dude that wants absolutely nothing to do with me and I'm the one having a freakout.
You can work on phobias like that in therapy
Sure I can. How would you recommend I afford therapy for a phobia that only impacts my life rarely?
My bad, I think I came across judgmental. I’ve got a heights phobia myself
That's alright. Just that therapy is, unfortunately, all too often an expense that falls far down the list. Housing, food, and other bills and only then MAYBE therapy if it's feasible. It helps, though the stress of paying it might extend your stay.
Arachnophobia is weird one too. It has it's roots so far down our brain stem from billions of years of "fuck no spider!" Like flying and confinement are phobias that happen farther up the consciousness ladder. Spiders, and to a lesser extent snakes are in our like bios settings. Came with the motherboard
I usually get that "this is fine" mantra going on repeat until it either touches me or I'm done and wig the fuck out of there. On the rare occasion I tell the spider we're fine so long as we leave each other be and it's all sunshine and rainbows. Brains are weird.
The second there's more than 2 or it's bigger than a toonie I'm bringing fire though.
Canadian!?!? What do you know aboot spiders!? Lol
We have many lakes and rivers, so dock spiders are common unfortunately. Wooded areas aplenty, so wolf spiders too. Then your common group of hanging out in the corners of your deck getting their full of mosquitos and black flies spiders. Those creeperass basement spiders with the long legs. I once also slammed my shed shut and fucked off back inside because of some furry palm sized bastard was chilling on the inside of said shed door.
They may not be poisonous or dinner plate sized, but some are pretty aggressive and others look like they should be.
I am also terrified of spiders. It helps to pretend that there are no spiders where your hands are, and thats just insulation and dust... not spider webs... yep yep yep!
I knew a plumber growing up. Dude walked around with a wad of cash that would make a gangster blush. Used to run into him on jobs all the time. By the time I knew him he was one of those elder assholes, would spend 5min saving the day with wizardry and old man strength, and the rest of the day smoking weed and being hilarious. R I P Lionel, you were a good one
I imagined how some gang hired plumber to keep shit together, then they see bill, learn that this is how everyone bills, and become plumbers gang. Sometimes it's called plumbers coop.
Sometimes it just takes a little nudge to get your ~~shot~~ shit in order.
Edit: fucking autocorrect.

Instructions unclear, am dead
What used to be place for school students now is place for old enough people to have children. This happens. This is internet.
Was what I assume was "fag" censored by 4channer or by lemmy poster?
Think about it for a minute, the answer may come to you
Same person?
4chan is a Christian site and doesn't allow obscenity.
. . .
It was not censored on 4chan buddy.
I love good comeback stories.
Inspiring.
I’m sure this dude will be a great fucking father. Don’t have kids unless you’re ready for it.
First he was a shit. Now he’s dealing with other peoples shit
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
