Proper Use of a Tape Measure

[Tom Cancelleri]

Just some humor for you guys.

It's true. 

[Immortan D]

Yeah I drive my dog crazy with that, he sits looking at the tape and waiting for it to collapse, then try to reach it while it's rolling back.

[Chrisk1970]

Yeah. I'm in the white.  No no...I mean gray!

One thing missing on that chart. We love to fling the tape out as fast as possible into the genitals of other workers on the jobsite. It's a fun game. It's a big part of the pie for many construction workers.

Weird. Never heard of that, but then, I've never worked construction. That's how those guys get on huh?

What in the actual... 

 

You can add that to the reasons I don't watch professional sports.  I was never a fan of jocks in high school and I've surely never been a fan of the same delta bravos with more money.

Been there, done that, had that done to me.

ahha that is too weird. Not that it makes it any better, but I guess it has something to do with them all presumably wearing nut cups?

A: False, no one who has used a tape measure for more than a minute would use something that sharp (and cold) to measure hisself with

B: Blue is totally accurate, I was doing this the other night and my wife was just staring at me and asking WTH I was doing. If she didn't understand, I wasn't going to be able to explain why it mattered so much to me.

C: Also missing is the "using a long standout tape to sneak out and brush the ear of the coworker who sits behind you"

I think your need to  clarify the blue pie area. What are you extending to collapse under it"s own weight. When I use the white area the tape is wrong many cases. Just sayin'.

Do tell what you use then?

[AceHoleInOne]

White and blue are both a pain in the ass, blue trying to get the damn tape back in without pinching the finger. White, are the hose burns from reeling it back in.

Sounds like an interesting story. Care to elaborate? No, wait. Maybe too much info!

You guys realize you're reading the mm side of the rule, right?
