A series of April Fools Day’s pranks have ended in frustration for a young Gold Coast tradie.
While 18-year-old Michael is used to being the butt of jokes at his Helensvale job site, he quit his job in frustration after one too many April Fools Day pranks from his co-workers.
After a morning of harmless – but gradually escalating – pranks soured Michael’s previously good mood, he finally lost it on his lunch break, when he went to place some bets on his phone but couldn’t find it. He spent his whole break madly searching for it, before finally finding it in a cement mixer.
A furious Michael then quit his job on the spot with a spray to his soon-to-be ex-co-workers: “F*** ya pack of f***** deadshit dogs! I’m sick of this shit! I’m done!”
Which Michael stormed off to the local to calm himself with a few beers and a run on the pokies, he still believed he made the right decision, confirming his choice to quit with a phone call to his boss Trevor later this afternoon.
“I never wanted to be a tradie; I wanted to go to uni, but couldn’t make my mind up what I wanted to do, but me dad made me get this bloody job! I thought I’d stick it out for a few years, rake in the cash, and then do something else, but it’s not worth it. It’s a f***** mug’s game getting pushed around by a bunch of dickheads who are three times my age and hate the fact they’re gonna be builders until they can’t stand anymore.”
Rebounding quickly, Michael has started applying for an RSA so he can work at his local pub and will begin researching uni courses over the weekend, as well as buying a new phone.
Trevor is happy to see the back of him. “It was clear that bloody kid never had his heart in it. That’s why the boys gave him so much shit. Better to test him now and see if he can hack it. He’s got plenty of time to actually have a life now.”
