Scaffolders Horseplay

We all know as scaffolders we can not go all day without a bit of horse play just to pass the time. We asked our FB community a while back what was the funniest things they had done to or asked a scaffolder’s labourer or trainee to do. Here are some of the best that made us laugh:

  • Justin Colburn posted: I told our man to jump start the disc cutter by pushing the disc on the floor and running with it. It took him five minutes before he sussed it he was knackerd!!!
  • Jamie Roberts posted: Not a trick but I asked a labourer to fetch 20 five foot tubes after which he told me to f-off!! I said what? He said “now I know your taking the piss, I know they don’t do 25 ft tubes”! Then he walked off pleased as punch!
  • Trevor Provencher posted: I knew a J- man who sent his apprentice for a sky-hook. He came back with a crane from another site. The J-man got fired because the company had to cover the cost of the crane. I learned from that story, instead I like to wire un-attended tools to the scaffold.
  • Robert Jones posted: I told a labourer that number 44 down the road is making bacon sandwiches I told him to knock on door for to let em know what sauce he wanted on it..
  • Martin Tarpey posted: My labourer was going to the shop during his break and asked if I wanted anything. I said “Yeah, get me 20 Bensons”. He then asked “What if they don’t have em?” I replied ” Get me anything” . He came back and handed me a sausage roll! It was safe to say that he had my pants down on that occasion…
  • Justin Colburn posted: Sent one lad who was proper green to the bricklayers to ask for a bucket of putlock holes. He went round the hole site asking everyone even the agent funny funny day!!……
