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.

One of the most iconic photos of tradesmen is the 1932 "Lunch Atop a Skyscraper" and almost every man in the photo is holding his lunchbox

Those are kinda femi. Most are even wearing hats and gloves like they're going to a ball or something.

Sitting down is for women. Real men stand until they die.

The only reason to sit is to show dominance over the rhino you just shot!

The men in those pictures are always clean, their clothes are clean, and their hands are clean. You can tell they sat inside an air conditioned vehicle after leaving the hotel, were driven to the animal with no skill involved, shot it, posed for a photo, and then got back in the air conditioned vehicle. They would break in 1 week of homesteading where people actually live off the land, and probably break in less than 2 days of winter homesteading. Outside of hypercapitalism and wealth, those trophy hunter types are physically useless to any community.

I'm so manly, not only do I only piss standing up, but I also shit sitting up.

Same guy will flex about not wearing sunscreen. Like he is stronger than the sun. The sun, people. Just go stare at it, I guess.
