I hate habitat for humanity

SO MUCH. I did it for the first time today. All the other teams got to do cool shit like nail drywall or lay cement. What did we do?

WE DUG THE FOUNDATION OF THE FUCKING HOUSE.

WITH SHOVELS.

No backhoe loaders or anything. No. We just dug a goddam ditch which, ironically, is what my Dad always told me I’d end up doing if I didn’t get good grades and a good job. WELL WHAT NOW, DAD?! I GOT A GOOD JOB AND I’M STILL DIGGING FUCKING DITCHES. My already messed up back is now almost unusable.

Plus they made me pray. Or, rather, they made me watch them pray. I wasn’t happy about it.

“Not prayin’ here, boss!”

I avoided this event. Putting me around holes and tools will only get me killed. Plus, I want to punish Jimmy Carter for giving away that canal.

  • I did it to help people.
  • In Be… Besomething, NJ.
  • I expected the things that other people did: nailing drywall, pouring cement, etc.
  • I didn’t know that, nor should it matter. I’m decidedly not a christian organization and still want to help people.

No, I didn’t build shit. I dug shit. And I was the only male there who wasn’t the president of the company, so everyone made me do everything cause a.) I’m male and therefore strong (obviously) and b.) no one wants to ask the president of the company to do somehting he doesn’t want to do.

Actually, Justin, considering the time I spent on pick-axe duty and the considerable length of my beard, I’d say this one is a bit more accurate:

GOOOOOOLLLLD!!

How much did I pay? Not a dime. It’s charity work. My office set it all up.

i think sammy may be referring to our two friends who went on a habitat trip. they raised the money for the flight. you can show up at local habitats and help out and not pay anything, but if you’re going on a TRIP, yes, it doesn’t cost money.

You can’t even help people without complaining John? I’m disappointed. If you ever need a house built through Habitat for Humanity, I’ll hand you the shovel and a print out of this thread.

Had I been given the task of hammering nails, laying cement, operating a machine that does things like dig and level house foundations or things of that nature, this thread would have had an entirely different tone. 0

HA ha ha ha ha ha ha! I totally got to nail boards, use an electric saw AND do drywall. Blame it on “The Walk of Shame” I’m sure she’s the one that set it all up.
