There were some good insights on a earlier poast (roofers), re status amongst tradies, but I found it lacking. Here is my assessment, BASED on 35+ years of bein in the trades (ranked low status to high):
cleaners/maids = you are retarded
materials delivery driver = not even worth talking to, total dimwit that 'used to work construction'
trash hauler = retarded drunk tweeker
landscaper/yard man = you are retarded and probably a beer addict
painter = semi-retarded and 95% certainty of alcoholism
drywall dude = a bit thick in the head, loves beer and pot, plays in a shitty classic rock band
wallpaper (only) dude = total homo, bitter, knows all the guys laugh about him, will rope some day
carpet (only) guy = idiot, closet fag
roofer = ex-con that is easily insulted by imaginary slights, loves vodka and meth
rain gutter installer = too pussy to be a roofer, constantly complains about the weather
siding guy = a failed carpenter that is always hung over, porn addict
plaster/stucco bro = tough, cranky, doesn't give a fuck bout nuthin 'cept gittin paid, alky
heavy equipment operator = brute, boozer, closet fag, installs and deletes Grindr app several times a day, wife-beater, several DUIs
pool builders = tough, understand basic plumbing, porn addicts and alkys
mason/brickie = dumb but funny and hard-working, honest, bro
framer = surprisingly smart, tough, but crude...has done time but now stays out of bars
flooring guy (all types except carpet) = average IQ, stopped drinking but vapes constantly
tiler = flooring guy with slightly higher IQ and stamina, obsessed with large-breasted women
window/door installer = always raging about something, usually the 'fuckin framers'
finish/trim carpenters = smart, loners, hate everyone on the jobsite ('umm could you turn the radio down?')
plumber = reeks of sewer but makes fat bank, fairly intelligent but drops F bombs constantly
electrician = smart, aloof, looks down on everyone, doesn't speak
AC/HVAC dude = got tired of being a plumber, now makes the same money but doesn't reek of sewage
kitchen installers = don't even look in their direction, you scum
decorators/designers = only see the homeowner, everyone else is invisible
architect = GOD (edit: also full-blown homos)

You can't be an idiot and wire houses safely. I'm looking at every carpenter who thinks wiring a three way switch is too difficult, but tries anyway. I had too much to fix already, with you dipshits ramming nails into my wires, let alone spend time fixing your wiring fuck ups.
HVAC guys cry about spacing but still just HAVE to smash my romex because they "didn't see the wires bro!"
Plumbers are fine by me, I don't try to secure my wiring on their piping though.
Drywall fags, I hate you, there's no reason for you to nail my wires when they aren't even in your way to begin. Drive your nails straight you fucking faggots.
Architects, you designs don't accommodate for the retardation of the average construction crew, learn to anticipate it for once in your miserable lives.
Roofers, stay the fuck away from my tools, my truck, and my employees. I don't care if you just got out last week, I'll send your ass right back to all the buttfucking you can dream of if you molest my gear.
Yes, we look down on all of you because we can party but still stay sober for the jobsite. Yes, we can make it look accidental if you want to test our limits. We don't come from prison because we cover our tracks.
Fuck you Anus, you know the entire crew too well, bastard.

This is a man who does not produce or labor. He is not trading his time for money. He is selling his body.
This, to me, is perhaps the lowest position a man can find himself in above begging and welfare.
