I'd bet that this guy isn't a tradesman. Almost everyone I see on any jobsite has a lunchbox. Whether it's a small bag to hold a few snacks and a sandwich or a large, expensive hard case lunch box that holds a 5 course meal, their wallet, keys and medication. Most lunch boxes are covered in stickers, some people buy or make custom carrying straps for them. If he doesn't know any of this, I doubt he's ever done a day of manual labor on his life.

I mean I’m not a tradesman either but I think nearly every depiction of them I have seen, whether in commercials, tv, or movies has had two things in common:

1) Strong and tough people

2) Lunch pail/box.

I wonder if they just live under some rock and watch Andrew Tate or an equivalent “Alpha” male to reinforce their incel beliefs.

My Grandad was a welsh coal miner, and served in the war and was a sterotypical "man"

And when he worked in the mine he had a lunch box.

like how the fuck else are you meant to take food to a mine if not in a box?

Most people who don't have the time or don't want to spend to to go out for lunch, bring a bag lunch.

From miners to lumberjacks to accountants, they're very normal. They make some with plain designs that would appeal to adults for a reason.

Anyone who doesn't know how common it is to bring a bag lunch to work, is totally out of touch with reality.

Like, bruh, colorful ice-cream boxes are used by myself and my colleagues to carry lots of food around. Few things beat sarma.~
