A local electrician has copped a bit of a spray this arvo, after being called out by a colleague on site.
Sitting down for lunch on one of the medium density reso developments in Betoota’s French Quarter, Brad Lammond was lit up by one of the concreters for his meal choice.
After ploughing through a double burger meal with chips and a full-strength lemonade, Lammond reportedly popped around the corner to the servo for a little cherry on top of his lunch.
With a fancy Mango weis bar in his hand, he copped some choice words for his post lunchtime dessert.
“Fuck, you’re getting paid too much big fella,” said one of the concreters, who has no issue whatsoever with eating a dessert after lunch.
“Single weis bar not on special. How much are they paying you?” laughed the man who had just finished off a two fa Magnum deal with his mate.
“Fucking Christmas holiday in Byron for you aye”
“You’d love it up there mate haha,” chimed in another one of the blokes sensing the opportunity to stop scrolling TikTok at full volume and contribute to the conversation.
Realising he had to get on top of things while the other sparky was on a phone call around the corner, Lammond then fired back with a jab about concreters working half days.
“Be about 30 seconds of your overtime mate,” he said.
“That’s any time after 1 pm isn’t it?”
“What are you still even doing here,” he laughed, sensing the momentum shifting.
“Big day for you mate”
“Might need another Maxibon Dare to get ya through haha”
A resounding fuck off was then issued from the instigator of the chat before everyone back to playing on their phones.
