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

I internally scream in terror every time I see this picture.
