    10 things that tell you they're a rigger

    Riggers have no concept of what "fragile" or "this way up" means

    They will never look u in the eye when giving you the weight load of a point

    All that gear on their harnesses has nothing to do with the job, its linked to some form of secret bondage fetish

    Challenge a rigger to empty his/her pockets and you can guarantee that amongst the fluff and other detritus, there will be shackles

    Riggers are nearly always the last to leave the bar, if at all. They can even be found there the following morning having breakfast.

    Which leads us to why they often look like they've been up for 36hours, generally they have.

    Riggers only shout "heads up" after the spanner has hit the floor.

    Scheduling is not their strong point. They always have another job they should have started yesterday to go to tomorrow.

    Friggin'in the Riggin' is definitely not their favourite song. its best to steer well clear of this phrase, and "truss monkey" for that matter, when dealing with riggers.

    To a man, they always wear their rigging "knickers" on top of their shorts

      Enige punten van herkenning zijn er wel.
      Vooral wat betreft die vermelding van de bar, zeg maar.
      Maaruh ...
      dat van dat "fragile" klopt niet hoor. Denk maar aan de truss!

        overigens mis ik nog:

        Never trust a rigger, certainly not when he is working right over your head.

        People tend to drop things unexpectedly, so do mokeys, apes and riggers.

          Ik weet zeker dat ik hem ken, maar noem om zijn privacy te beschermen geen naam
