The funniest story I have about apprentice hazing is from a few years ago. The boss got his kid a job as an apprentice but didn't want anyone knowing that he got him the job. Only me and one other guy who had worked with the dad for a while knew. About a week in his son had been bounced around by a few journeymen because he was a good guy and tried but just didn't have much if any ability to work with his hands. They went through a few of the normal ones like finding a board stretcher but one particular day this guy told him to go ask around to see if anyone has any bubble level fluid for his 8' level... Sure enough the kid asks around to several different guys who all tell him to ask someone else until he gets to Miguel... Miguel tells him he has just what he needs down in his car, he runs down pisses in a water bottle and brings it back up to the kid and tells him to be careful that stuff is expensive. Sure as shit the first question out of the kids mouth was "why is this warm" and Miguel explained to him that it was because it sat in his truck all day. He just shrugged and walked back to his partner thinking he was successful. After he left the other guy who knew who the kid was walked over and whispered to Miguel who his dad was and I have never seen someone so brown become so pale in my life lol. Luckily for Miguel the kid legitimately never figured out what actually happened.

Former concrete worker here. We had a young 21 year old construction management intern come to the job already making a higher hourly wage than 80% of the guys there. I always thought it was self-explanatory but this kid couldn’t figure out how to use a shovel anywhere close to the right way. We moved him to another job and had no idea how to use a hammer and after a few days of practice, he was able to hammer a nail in about 25 mini-strikes. Wish I was joking. He ended up quitting cause of how bad he was getting bullied. 21st century bullying (teasing, joking on his behalf, and funny remarks). The boss couldn’t feel bad as when he was 17, he was thrown face first into wet concrete, spat on, and cursed at. Ahhhh, I miss the good old concrete days.

So if i ever meet someone who asks a "Dumb" question or does something simple wrong i never talk down to them instead i try to explain it as best as i can because i know how useless and dumb you can feel for getting something "simple" wrong.

Bruh that first nail could've took his eye out

[@btallz5812]

Nice way to make a guy trying to learn feel good

[@janputz4157]

He tried, had a blast, knew he was getting srewed with, had still a blast about it and in the end learned something. What a great day.

[@martinmitchell1368]

Don't use the wife's hammer bud 🤟😁

[@notinterested8452]

You're a good teacher and trainer

[@ianbrown7235]

Ive never seen someone try to pull nails so forcefully.

[@lukesheehan8953]

Eye protection?

[@MrPDTaylor]

Exactly what I was thinking. One of them is going to lose an eye before he figures it out.

[@pkfreerun100]

Can feel the tenis elbow

[@TheNightshadePrince]

That was funny, I can’t believe people have grown up not knowing how to use a hammer.

[@DrakeG4]

Homeboy must have slept through the lecture on levers in grade school.

Working class guys always want to bash anyone who works less hours a week than them, and especially anyone who doesn't work with their hands at all.... But you show up on the job site ready to work and they start filming you and shaking their heads before teaching you. Got to feel superior when deep down you know your just a cog in someone else's machine. Classic.

[@TonyMarselle]

Get a job, hippy.

[@diegomondaca7321]

Been there a long time ago lol

[@surgin-nk3rw]

From being a game nerd to being out in the real world for the first time. Touching story

[@erikvandemark2022]

Hey I mean that was me at one point. Now I have the ability to fix or build almost anything in my house. The guy who taught me did everything. Electrical, plumbing, carpentry, you name it. I owe everything to that guy. Never yelled. Just told me when I wasn't thinking with my head and to just do it right the next time.

[@surgin-nk3rw]

@Erik VanDemark thanks for sharing

[@ducpao]

LoL!!

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

As a game nerd and a tradesman myself, I object to this pigeonholing. 😛

[@lemmyspeaks]

I think you first learn to use a hammer as a kid watching Bob the builder

[@palermothegoalgod-wd2wp]

I sent an apprentice to the stores in 1987 for a long weight, he hasnt come back yet

[@TheMilkman710]

Don't feel bad, Jesus was a carpenter and he couldn't even pull 3 nails to save his life.

[@DrZedd169]

Oh good god....

[@ryanlawrence1764]

Ayo props to him. Hes clearly tryna show willingness.. Be interesting to see if hes still around and what hes learnt

[@macadelic2492]

“Yeah, after I loosened it.”

[@Enigma96969]

It’s a kid training a kid

[@raven2xpie618]

As aconcrete finisher, I asked the new guy to start using the edger. We were pouring a basement xD He edged an entire 20 foot wall and I let him do it 😂

[@smokedog123456789]

Serves him right!

[@davidrosellocutillas8560]

The arms of the camera man: 💪🏻🍺damn budy

[@J10969]

Bless his heart for trying and not giving up….BUT LAWD HAVE MERCY!!! You’ve got a GREEN one! 😮‍💨 Good luck and I hope you already have the patience of a saint. 😅😂

[@ubgeo83]

one thing i learned working since a young age push the hammer sideways bend the nail then when you pull it out it come out easier

[@2garv2]

To be fair that hammer has no claw on it, it's practically straight. Not an excuse just an observation

[@charlestackett7137]

You can also put a board under the hammer and increase the leverage.

[@73SINNER]

You better get some safety glasses on that special one! Better yet get him a entire helmet

[@SirValiantIII]

Reminds me of my fraternity brothers redoing our own deck. Kids took about 5-7minutes to cut their first 2x4 with a hand saw, now they are all pros

[@XiUNOiX120]

I'm actually surprised how good the head held on 😂

[@makisxatzimixas2372]

First time as a waiter at a posh restaurant, didnt even know how to place a glass on the table. This video makes me happy.

[@Keeter94]

To be fair, your forearm was the size of his entire quadricep
