flag people..... douchebags
| Message Board > Controversy and Quarantine > flag people..... douchebags |
| mike User Info... | so i'm at a tim hortons and I overhear some guy saying"it's tough out there if your in construction, not a lot of work goin on". then this woman goes "ya i'm just glad i'm working full time" I said "o you work construction what do you do?." She say's "I'm a flag person!" like she's fucken proud of it. I said "that's not a construction job, you don't build (ie construct) anything. "well i work around people who are doin construction" "ya well i noticed a hobo taking a piss on the grounds of the new wallmart I guess he's in construction too" and there the same thing if you think about it, a flag person is a just a homeless guy with a sign that says "slow down" instead of "spare change?" plus they get to wear hard-harts like a real construction worker. You ever heard of someone getting a head injury from being a flag person? no. maybe you need a head injury to become one, cuz your stupid enough to pay for a course to learn how to stand and hold a sign. seriously victoria, there's nothing wrong with getting paid to do nothing like a city worker or a flag person or one of the hairlips who work at the fucken bottle depot. but don't tell me your in fucking construction. now fuck off i got work to do - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 9:47am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | ..........actually......I dont know for sure, and I'm too lazy to look it up, but, I would imagine directing traffic could be a very hazardous job.........construction job?...... well, they do work on construction sites....... ~I have no work to do~ - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:22am Edited: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:23am | ||
| Grimace User Info... | Yes Tcore ,It is a very dangerous job...So Mike I guess you don't need a hardhat when there is a crane lifting some drywall or something that's going up above where you work ...naaa you don't need one.And having do direct stupid fucks like you with no respect for a hard working people through a work zone is dangerous.You got drunk people and stupid fucks that don't slow down. and hit flagers.Asshole who yell at you for making them 2 mins. late for work ..every day for the last 2 weeks.Simple solution,get up earlier fucking retards.No I am not a flager but I now it would be hard to do .Mike wouldn't last a fuckin minute.Punk - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:33am | ||
| Mike S User Info... | in the last two weeks Ive heard of two flaggers in BC getting hit by cars, one is dead - one is in intensive care. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:50am | ||
| Grimace User Info... | Well at lest I'm not the one this time spewing out ignorance.No...There is a difference,I spew stupidity, this mike guy spews ignorance.The difference being I know I am being stupid. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:03am | ||
| Aidan Logins User Info... | I'm pretty sure not everyone who's in construction actually builds shit. A lot of foremen for bigger crews, who are in charge of overseeing the entire operation, will get a whole project completed without actually building anything. Flag people are part of the construction crew, they make it easier for builders to build and landscapers to landscape. Therefore they're in construction. wait a minute, I just read "a flag person is a just a homeless guy with a sign that says "slow down" instead of "spare change?" Except that most flag people have homes- probably because they are flag people. And the only one trait that qualifies someone as being a "homeless guy" is not having a home. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:29am Edited: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:32am | ||
| Mike S User Info... | can it possible be that someone more idiotic than Grimlord exists on the board? - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:36am Edited: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:36am | ||
| Grimace User Info... | Come on now......I work hard at trying to piss off ,annoy and get people disturbed a little on here.This guy does a good job at looking like a tard.But then so do I.I work at it though.And I would never in real life get into an argument at a Timmy's with someone over there job as a flagperson. Very rarely do you see them but there is some hot ones out there.I figure the people running the show would not want all there workers yelling and gawking at them all day so they get the older ones? see ,right there I put thought into that.It's not always right in your face but I stir it up a little. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:03pm Edited: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:04pm | ||
| Mike S User Info... | and in grade 3 they taught us the difference between 'there' and 'their' Glad you arent a flag person, because there would be head on collisons! Fucking purple milk shake chugging Mc-weirdo. Go back to your own country! - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:11pm | ||
| Grimace User Info... | Grimace is Canadian bitch! No I am though.... There is only one there, isn't there? - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:16pm Edited: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:17pm | ||
| mike User Info... | Grimace, if a crane dropped a load of anything it was carrying on your head a hard-hat wouldn't save you, you fucken retard. as for drunk drivers, they don't discriminate who they hit. So anyone who is near traffic when they're driving is at risk. THEY'RE (drunk drivers) assholes as is anybody who is irresponsible behind the wheel of a car.I'm not basing anything I say on a messageboard on a scientific journal with proper grammar and spelling.it's a messageboard, it's all about angry uninformed opinions. I don't hate flag people,and I'm not saying they don't have a use, that's why they get paid and are not homeless. I just think it's funny how great they think they are, just like the people on most messageboards, not to mention most of the hacks in this city, where I grew up. so if you're gonna get super offended by something somebody writes under a board titled controversy and quarantine, put the cock back in you hand and go back to posting about fucken youtube videos or whatever.Or don't, I don't care. And no, I wouldn't last a minute doin that job cuz I would never take a job doin something so boring. that's why I posted about how stupid it is.

| Doc User Info... | In defence of flag people, I'd think I was pretty great too if I managed to earn $25+ per hour to hold a sign and watch dopes drive by all say. ~Hemlock tea anyone? Doc P.S. FYI I have worked in the construction industry and $25 is a fairly accurate number. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 2:58pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | CU N T M U F F I N !!!!!!!!! ~poppy tea?~ - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 3:44pm Edited: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 3:44pm | ||
| Grimace User Info... |  It's called being proud of what you do.Not thinking you're great.Can't anyone take pride in there work anymore?Not without someone being jellos of them I guess.Mike has a shitty job I think. Man people are fucking dicks to each other in real life ,I'm just a dick on here.And I don't think I am great ,I think I'm awesome.....And I know you think so too.So now I'm going back to youtube with my cock in my hand to post more on some videos. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 4:24pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Flaggers in Victoria generally make between $16 and $22 an hour. I have Traffic Control as one of my many certifications for work in the municipality and it is very dangerous work...I have come close to being killed at least 5 times in the last two years due to idiot drivers. HOWEVER. It is NOT construction work and the person who said it was is a fucking dumbass. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 6:48pm | ||
| Grimace User Info... | I am also Traffic Control certified.And know it takes some balls as well to acutely stand and make cars stop in rush hour traffic.You put yourself in the line of fire. - Tue, 24 Nov 2009 6:53pm Edited: Tue, 24 Nov 2009 6:54pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | To Aiden: The difference between Construction foremen and flaggers is construction foremen have years of construction experience and knowledge. They coordinate projects and without them the work would not be done on time or up to code. Flaggers stop and let traffic go. - Wed, 25 Nov 2009 7:05am | ||
| Aidan Logins User Info... | I know there's a difference between foremen and flaggers. Was just using them as an example, to show that there are a lot of jobs (and not just foremen and flaggers) that are peripheral to actually hands-on construction but are equally important to getting the job done. And any job that requires traffic control would probably take a lot longer without it... Unless you think that generally drivers are smart enough to control themselves and work together in an organized fashion to minimize the risk to workers and keep things running smoothly. I doubt that would happen. - Wed, 25 Nov 2009 8:57pm | ||

| BOING User Info... | Who are you to judge anyone’s job? At least they are working... and insulting people who work at the bottle depots? Wow! I think everyone’s job in this world is important... At least they are not sitting on welfare right? Your not a very happy person, maybe you need a new job... - Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:45pm | ||
| Ottoman User Info... | Sounds like he must have had an altercation at a bottle depot and lost. - Thu, 26 Nov 2009 3:30pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Up until not so long ago, any monkey ass could flag traffic. I believe they passed the certification law as a cash grab. The process does not help weed out morons. When I did my certification a girl in my class caused a near head-on collision during the practical and they passed her. Some of the people I've worked with are ignorant and send traffic when signaled not to. Some have put down their sign and laid down on the grass at the side of the road. My point is flaggers are useful in controlling traffic to ensure safety and flow of cars, but when someone who does nothing but flag talks about being a construction worker, they are full of shit. - Thu, 26 Nov 2009 6:00pm | ||
| Sati User Info... | i'd feel seriously hot telling people i was a construction worker. maybe thats why they do it. - Thu, 26 Nov 2009 7:06pm | ||
