I think its more don't give a fugg type deal over intelligence. I know a couple super intelligent individuals that just plain disgust me over their complete lack of pride in anything they do.

You might be right....but I think these "smart" phones are taking away the ability to think. You have them remembering phone numbers, directions, doing our math, checking our spelling, etc. After awhile people lose the ability to think for themselves.

Then throwing companies that try to get a job for the smallest profit margin possible just to have the work then they want you to run around like your head's on fire. Just go fast. Done is good. Done right too slow. They never want to give us the time to do it right the first time but somehow miraculously we end up with the proper amount of time to fix it later.

Well, they(peeps in charge) took out all the shop classes and replaced them with getting in touch with your inner feelers.
Now it's show up and play with your smart phone for four years.

Like the saying goes... if you can afford to do it twice, you can afford to do it right the first time.

Only half inch outta plumb on this door frame. People have no pride in their work. Carpet guy ready to go and we are fugging the place all up.View attachment 303345
What's the worst built house you've seen?
I was asked to check out a 200k new
House in a subdivision
For a couple I helped build a few houses and stuff and plumbed quite a bit.

I was asked to look at the plumbing.
I didn't make it that far
Because I was asked to leave
After pointing out the picture window
Was bowing the wall out a good 6" into the yard.
And all the sheetrock
Was cracked in the first floor around all the windows.
The contractor was pissed when I asked what he did for a living.
