Sort of?

I can't stand people who are ESL and struggle with English. Part of that is 'legit', because of dealing with so many motherfuckers who can't have a proper conversation with people, and especially while dealing with radio communication. A combination of brutal accents, half-spoken english, and a lack of understanding of radio protocol fucking infuriates me.

That and I have absolutely no respect for religions, especially Middle Eastern ones, because of how many problems I have to deal with on a regular basis from those. Christians and their ilk tend to cause lots of political stupidity, like trying to bring prayer into classrooms, or remove science-related studies in favor of bible bullshit, but the goddamn turbans and beards are my biggest problem. Every single goddamn time some guy with a turban and massive beard comes around to a jobsite, we're in trouble. Usually they're already refusing to put on their steel toes, because they're not used to it, but the hard hat refusal, and inability to don a faceshield/air supply system makes them ineligible to be on many jobsites.

There's even special, custom turban hardhats, but I've never met a single person who would wear one, just outright refusing to cooperate. And unless they want to be wearing a full goddamn full air suit at all times, they can't be there. Of course that starts worrying everyone around, "Why are those guys wearing the emergency suits? What's going on?".

The worst part if they know they can pull this shit, because of Canada's Human Rights laws. They'll protect these stupid religions to the death, instead of being sensible and saying "Cut that shit out while you're on a jobsite". The long and the short of it, is we have to absolutely exhaust any and all ways to accommodate them, wasting time and money in equipment, alterations, and they hold us to the letter of that. Here's five examples of when Canada bent over and took it up the ass, and screwed our traditions for someone else's:

I have a signature. Apparently this is important, but I still don't have my secret cool kid decoder ring yet.
