Scaffolding may not be the first profession that comes to mind when you think of humour, but one seasoned scaffolder aims to take the industry by storm with a laugh-out-loud book that exposes the most outlandish excuses used by scaffolders to skip work on Mondays.
Callum Worth, a scaffolder with over 15 years of experience, has released “Monday Club,” a book that compiles some of the most absurd and comical excuses he has encountered during his career.
Worth’s book is set to become a hit among those in the construction industry and beyond. With his first-hand experience and a keen eye for the hilarity in everyday life, he provides readers with a glimpse into the quirky world of scaffolding, complete with characters who have mastered the art of Monday-morning excuses.
“Monday Club” is a testament to the wild creativity of scaffolders when it comes to avoiding the start of the workweek. Worth explains, “For many years, my colleagues and I would swap stories about the unbelievable excuses we’d heard from fellow scaffolders who didn’t want to show up for work on a Monday. We always said someone should write a book about these excuses because they are just comical. Well, after many years, I finally did it.”
The book is a delightful collection of excuses that will leave readers both amused and flabbergasted. Here are some highlights:
The Loft Hatch Incident: One worker claimed to be unable to work because a loft hatch had hit him on the head.
The Double Jury Service: Another scaffolder had to deal with jury service not once but twice in the same year, conveniently on Mondays.
The Broken Down Car with a Twist: A classic excuse involving a broken-down car takes an unexpected turn, leaving readers in stitches.
Wet Socks Drama: One worker pleaded that they couldn’t come in due to wet socks.
Worth goes above and beyond by naming and shaming the culprits behind these hilarious excuses, albeit using false names to protect their identities. He also provides text messages and phone call transcripts that will have readers doubled over with laughter.
“Different excuse on each page,” promises Worth with a laughing emoji. The book guarantees page after page of side-splitting tales, reminding readers that humour can be found even in the most unexpected places.
“Monday Club” is now available on Amazon under the title “Monday Club” by Callum Worth. It’s a must-read for scaffolders and anyone in the construction industry or anyone looking for a good laugh. You can find it here.
So, if you’re in need of a good chuckle and want to explore the world of scaffolding like never before, be sure to grab a copy of “Monday Club.” Callum Worth’s witty anecdotes are a testament to the fact that sometimes, the best way to face a Monday is with a hearty dose of humour.
