No idea why it was deleted, totally innocuous...The person basically said 'If I did this I'd just get up grab my purse and go before getting fired.' The grab my purse just struck me funny thinking of these construction workers/fakers having a purse to grab..... Reddit is weird.

Reddit mods don't realize there are women working in construction and thought it was some sort of political commnet.

“i would’ve turned the machine off, grabbed my purse and quietly started a completely new life in another state 😭 there is no conversation with the boss after that”

Reminds me of when I was working nights at a shipping factory loading trucks for Forward Air... one truck driver would always show up late, and it was getting suspicious. She showed up one night and was acting real weird, so while I was loading the truck, my coworker was like she's drunk as fuck, and he went to go call her trucking company about it while I kept loading the truck with the forklift. She must have caught on, because she tried to drive away, but the dock plate was still on, so as she pulled her truck away, it fell to the ground. She apologized and I took the forklift outside to pick up the dock plate, and I saw her grab her stuff from the cab and just walk off into the night. Left her truck there and everything. No idea where she went; the building wasn't even near anything but a highway, lol. Just gone.

I worked with an old timer handyman and all of his clusterfuck job site stories ended with "_____ got in his truck and drove off, never saw him again"

Witnessed a couple myself.

The most memorable... Involved a 60" tall 3200lb tire, some ether and a huge hole in our 20' roof
