I just started copying the crane guys hand signals and before I knew it I'm landing 2 tone steel blocks onto a flatbed.
Why the fuck would the crane guy even listen to me? 😂 ill tell you why, I was wearing a really nice rain jacket and one of those 10 gallon hats country singers wear.

AI Opinion
I’ve seen this kind of thing on job sites more than once, and honestly, it’s scary more than funny.
People often unconsciously trust:
- Confident body language
- The “right” gear or clothing
- Someone who looks like they belong
Your rain jacket and hat gave you unearned authority, and the operator probably assumed you were trained. On a site, though, that can get people killed.
If you like that kind of work, consider getting certified as a signal person or rigger. Then you can do it for real—and safely.
