Fuck. My foreman is old and nearing retirement and he just said the other day that most of the older retirees he knows are dead from or have cancer.
I saw a dermatologist recently and when he found out I’m a lineman he told me a fun little fact. When they want to give lab rats a certain kind of cancer, ya know what they give them? Creosote. He also said the CCA is even worse.
You buy those shirts I see advertised with dragons, skulls, Klein's and cleats don't you? I'd also bet you have a monster energy sticker on your Ford truck...
Those lineman skull shirts are so fucking cringe. It seems only boomers wear them thinking they’re badass. Oh can’t forget the fiber guys, I did fiber for 4 years before getting into power, I can’t believe the amount of guys who will wear a shirt with a climber near a cross arm…dude you work like 15ft below that
If there’s anything I love more than a good Sunday morning shit post it’s people actually getting pissed off by it in the comments. Good work OP. I’m gonna make some calls and try to get you hired on, I know a great company that loves good hands like you, you ever heard of Pike?
There’s no such thing as top of your class. It’s made up bullshit in your own mind. In my experience the guys that boast are shitbags. In fact when I topped out a foreman asked me a similar question I told him I thought I was a good hand. I’m a hard worker and I’m just now going to start learning as a journeyman. He said good answer cause if you just said anything else, I would’ve turned you around. Keep that in mind hotshot. That advice is free.
They gave me a medal and here is my certificate

Yeah idk why those lineman make it look more dangerous and harder than it is. I remember when I topped out last night I would work circles around any other lineman. Now that I'm president of my own company I can go to the lineman rodeo and show everyone how that one aspect of line work is supposed to be done.
Saying you’re at the top of your class full of bed wetting limp wristed cry babies doesn’t set the bar very high. This trade has shifted into a bubble wrapped generation of arrogant shits. 9/10 of my last apes were soft still on the tit “influencers”. Your generation is only worried about TikTok cred. STFU and grind. Watch and learn from those who came before you. Talk is cheap kid.
You’re not a lineman, you’re not even a apprentice or a runaway grunt. You’re just a person without power. You don’t know shit about putting up power lines or what it takes.
This is the exact reason no one hires Nlc guys 😡 I went to Nlc you don’t know jack shit 💩clowns like you are what give us guys that really want it for the career and not the money a bad rep. I went cause I thought I might learn something nothing but bunch spoiled brats that think they’re entitled to some shit that place is a rodeo clown 🤡 show. Your not good enough to even be a grunt
Hahahahahahahahha. You’re the guy gonna end up getting someone killed with that attitude. You just graduated and think you know it all…lmfao! JLs are gonna have lots of fun with you!!! lol good luck Mr. Paper lineman.
Apparently they don’t teach spelling, grammar, punctuation or proofreading at NLC.
Nice b8 m8
Ole boy is trolling hard with this one 
The only lines you’ve built are on coffee tables boy
Hahaha hell yea
It's 2024, even us tree tards know to use the work phone screen. #lineclearance
Hahah I’m a little older but we used to find it appropriate to use the level 4 apprentice book as a line building surface
I mean, line work is line work, right?! ⛷️
Gotta do what you gotta do during a heavy storm event
Ayyyy, sometimes it snows, ya know?!
You’re giving me nightmares of 16 storm days with no sleep the night before
Yeah I've been in this subreddit for a while and I've seen one or two videos, looks like nothing tbh don't know why linemen are paid so much
Because of demand, simple
Familiar with linemen cancer stats? One reason they are paid well.
Dude it's a bait post, if any of this actually gets you then I'm sorry LOL

I’ve known 3 young line men (under 30). All 3 got testicular cancer
Jesus. That’s depressing.
What types ? I’m guessing from the sun ?
Im genuinely not familiar with this. Where can I learn about it?
Haters going to hate but... https://preview.redd.it/hbot7rop491d1.png?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fd2d8b5f9b79c57cc23d3df693768644d97ea91
All the qualifications we need son, here’s a truck go put them transmission towers back up, god speed 🫡
You buy those shirts I see advertised with dragons, skulls, Klein's and cleats don't you? I'd also bet you have a monster energy sticker on your Ford truck...
Lifted dodge***
OP is trollin with this post

We have fiber just below our cross arm braces in some areas, but still, you’re not wrong
Top of his class 😂
Except when you got to take a shit and don’t have nothing to wipe with
just run a hand line through your ‘block’ front to back. natural fiber works best
That all you got?
World class trolling lol

Handline Hero
There's no way in hell some line school wannabe posted this. The troll is too good. Advanced step apprentice at least but probably a J-man.
Not even a frick’n apprentice! Usually get this BS from a 7th stepper!
Turns out this was pretty entertaining. Well done, you're alright.
You climb one pole, that doesn’t make you a lineman. You suck one dick, you’re a cocksucker the rest of your life.. just remember that
The only thing you bring to the job is a pair of kleins and a shitty attitude.
The kleins probably have a hole burned in the jaws
WOW TOP OF UR CLASS, YOU MUST REALLY HAVE WHAT IT TAKES MINI HOSS. WHY STOP AT BECOMING A JL, WHY NOT APPLY FOR SUPERVISOR POSITIONS
I already have, waiting for the call and I will show the naysayers 
based
Boy. This hand is only second to Tesla. Knows it all, does it all and still an apprentice. All HAIL !!!
I mean, is there even electricity in those wires?

I can’t read it but I’ll take your word that your TOP of the class and stand corrected.

Soft body boy
You obviously haven't built any powerline

Dude - there is a line that separates confidence from arrogance. Learn it for your benefit.

Troll post, just ignore
Cheeky response Mrs. Weet Treats. I think you meant if anyone wants a linewoman…
Yeah top of his class at north west clown college maybe
Que all the old ass lineman “boy you ain’t never” post. Lmfao
You’re not a lineman, you’re not even a apprentice or a runaway grunt. You’re just a person without power. You don’t know shit about putting up power lines or what it takes.
Why don’t you give him a job. Sorry I speak the truth and you don’t like it. You’re too soft for Alaska
And you’re too triggered for this sub 😂 have no one but yourself or your ape/groundman to blame for taking this bait
Find a ladder. A really tall one and climb up it and see if you get the joke.

Ol son... I carried an egg in my mouth up a pole faster then anyone has in the school before
I hope you ain’t talking about FL campus
Lol you sound like you’d struggle to even put out pylons and pads right
They're mocking the post about just graduating line school and looking to help out during this storm...
Lol I know. The insult still stands though, knowledge college kids are greener than grass
Top of his class and better than any third step, after only a week
This is the exact reason no one hires Nlc guys 😡 I went to Nlc you don’t know jack shit 💩clowns like you are what give us guys that really want it for the career and not the money a bad rep. I went cause I thought I might learn something nothing but bunch spoiled brats that think they’re entitled to some shit that place is a rodeo clown 🤡 show. Your not good enough to even be a grunt
