How many workers does it take ?????

A transport came down my dead end street. He had no option but to back out. Non of the drives could accommodate the truck.
In front of my house he dropped in the ditch. Damaged the water shut off for the fire hydrant and pinched off the culvert in front of the hydrant in addition to some surface damage of the lawn etc..
I called the city works to let them know about the damage and possible low level leak.
They sent 6 guys initially to check for the leak. 2 guys sitting in the truck. 3 guys leaning on shovels and one guy "listening" for the leak for 3+ hours.
Nope no leak even though the ditch has a small steady flow where it was always dry except after a good rain. No, that's not leak water.
The guys with the shovels could have dug down and checked. Not necessary, there is no leak, just flowing water.
Then came the 4 guys to fix the culvert. I driver, 1 supervisor, 1 guy watching and 1 guy with the chop saw. They didn't fix anything, just cut away the pinched end.
Next day came the truck with the backhoe. 1 driver, 1 operator, one guy to direct him and 2 guys watching.
The backhoe took an hour to smooth out the wheel ruts plus un/loading time and what looked like a coffee break. I could have done it with a rake in under a half hour.
Cosmetically it looks like 2 preschoolers got a summer job. While there is no visible leak the ditch is still flowing where it used to be dry.
15 guys got a paycheck, plus all the equipment.
Me? Couple times a week I stand at the end of the driveway, watch the water and shake my head.
Some day when it lets go they'll see I was right and still not care.

Too bad the massage parlours don't work that way.
Could you imagine the 10 girls it would take to do the job of one.
And the overtime.
And the extra appointments to correct the job.
And the sexy supervisor that doesn't really do anything, but gives you something extra to daydream about.
And the massive bill would be divided upon people who had no benefit from what was done.
Mini-me would probably be yanked right off by the end. Or so bruised and abused he couldn't cum out to play for months.
I guess one can dream.

I can tell you that the people filming and making fun of the workers have never performed any serious hard labour work with machinery in their life. That run away concrete finisher has enough power to kill you if you try to stop it. I've seen people getting thrown over 20 feet in thee air by these type of finishers or hand held augers.
