My personal favorite was watching a so called plumber put a fitting on the end of the pvc pipe and then smear the glue on the outside of the joint.

What?

The likes of OSHA and Thailand aren't even nodding acquaintances. How many times have we seen arc welders working with knockoff Rayban sunglasses, or electricians working with bare feet on wet cement floors and no grounded tools, or . . .

Thais and tools simply do not mix.

 

Ah, so you've finally worked out why they give you a wide berth, eh?

There is a reason why those tools have manuals. And if people can't read or don't want to read then they could still ask someone to show them how to use them or watch a YouTube video.

But it seems that just doesn't happen.

IMHO it seems that most workers here don't use their brain - or maybe they don't have one.

Some things should be easy to understand like you write. But they don't understand. They don't even realize that they did something wrong. It's sad, but it is reality in Thailand.

 

Real men don't read manuals.*

 

Sheesh...

Have you seen this or similar tools being used that were operated incorrectly ....   ??

Don't know if this is what you mean or not, but when we had our kitchen extension built and they installed the window shutters, all the hinge screws were hammered home with not a screw driver to be seen.

What I have seen they put the screws in with a hammer
