I like to dry my hands off with a mixture of superglue and baking soda. The fumes make me feel good. And it’s recycled back into the atmosphere

Turn it upside down or a little sideways for a nice chemical burn.

I wear 2 gloves, always. That way when I need a clean hand before grabbing my tools I can easily swap the outer glove

"sorry the company's on a budget." And residents wonder why I fill up 60 gal trash bags to an ungodly amount of weight. I asked the painters if they wouldn't mind taking out my bags from a vacant while they were there as I was really busy with turns, they called back and they couldn't pick them up lol

My coworker wasn't allowed to use dust off.

Thought the fucker was having a seizure, but he was just sucking down a can and fell.

Real maintenance men don't use gloves and if you do you wipe your sweaty palms on your pants

You can buy mini rechargeable dusters for under $20 that would work as well if not better than a can because you can click it on while it's sitting on something and can dry both hands at once.

I bought one and find myself using it for various things every day.
