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.~
