My new painter's apprentice just Graco'd the customer's dog

Hired this kid off Craigslist last week, thinking he'd help with the Sherwin-Williams Emerald jobs, and on his first day he mistakes the boss's Graco Mark V for a water gun and blasts the neighbor's lab during a backyard fence paint. Charged the owner $200 just to calm him down and get back to work, but damn if it wasn't the funniest crap-show I've seen in years. Now the whole crew's calling him Hose Boy.

god damn painters, always turning job sites into circuses with your fancy sprayers while us plumbers are out here actually fixing leaks. this is why i never sub out to you clowns.

Haha, sounds like my first week cleaning up after carpet guys.

pro tip: make him buy lunch for the crew next time. Builds character and we all eat free.

Seen worse, but yeah, start 'em on brushes only for a month. Builds respect for the tools.
