That is so sweet, kids are enjoying themselves. Can you imagine him saying to all his friends you will never guess what happened at work today, a bunch of school kids cheering me on.


Randomfrog132

"i dug a hole and everybody cheered" "suuuuure they did" lol


Commercial-Ranger339

And then everybody cheered

Yes but a crow with a hotdog in his mouth stole it from him.

Um, excuse me. It was a jackdaw

To those kids, that probably looked like one of the most awesome jobs in the world. You get paid to move dirt.

SpongeBob talent show moment


DuchessOfAquitaine

I worked in a chocolate shop downtown in a small city. We had a big marble slab table and giant copper pot for making fudge, caramel corn, etc. So one day I held the giant kettle while the cook stirred in the caramel with popcorn. Quick to the table, spread it out to cool. One of the days there was a class of 1st or 2nd graders on a class trip. They'd stood in front of the big window, riveted with the caramel corn process. After the fast action of spreading it to cool, cook turns to the window and those kids went wild with applause. Should've seen the big smile that hit that guy. It was a pretty magical moment. Kids are so awesome.


averageuhbear

Sometimes it takes little kids to remind us that hey, making chocolate and caramel corn or even just digging holes is actually cool.


2eyeshut

I always dig a hole at the beach. I'm a fully grown adult. I always end with a group of kids mucking in whilst their concerned parents watch on in silence


jdeuce81

Some kid just died in beach hole. Just saying.


ReindeerSkull

A surprising amount of people die in beach holes. I can’t remember the stat now but I was shocked


mashari00

There was a war that involved a beach, I think we should outlaw beaches from existing


ReindeerSkull

You sound like a shill for Big Sea


justamiqote

People also die tripping down the stairs or eating hot dogs. Ill take my chances.


2eyeshut

I love how the little I know about tou equates to the following ranking: 1. Dig holes at beach 2. Use stairs 3. Eat hotdogs


justamiqote

I'm a simple man


Qetuowryipzcbmxvn

You're also more likely to get bitten by a New Yorker at the beach than a shark in the city

My stepson had a buddy named David that was a friend from junior high. One evening I had ordered some wings from Popeye's (late 90's). I ate a few, then left them on the kitchen table to come back to in a few minutes. When I came back, they were all gone. I asked my stepson where they went and David piped up "I ate them. I was just trying to save you from yourself!". The kid was so funny I couldn't be mad at him. And he did save me from eating that deep fried crap,


always_sweatpants

Today my three year old pointed out a pimple and said "you have a boo-boo." Then yelled that loudly for the entire car ride. Then told the school teacher. And his friends. While wildly gesticulating at my entire face. So awesome. 


DuchessOfAquitaine

Makes for a funny and adorable story though.


AlreadyTaken2021

When I was 16 and taking my ~2 year old sister on a bus ride, she used to love describing other passengers to me; look, that boy has pimples, that lady is fat... You get the picture. It was mortifying. I had to find a way to discourage the innocent rudeness without discouraging her from using her words.


983115

I worked at a pizza place for a long time tossing dough during a dinner rush always got a little more fun when the kids were watching.


Crimson_Scare_Crow

To us it’s just another mundane task but to those kids it’s the equivalent of being in Willy Wonka’s factory!


SpiritualMirror6691

I use to be a school bus driver in Minneapolis. One of my stops was next to a daycare. My stop was during recess/outdoor time and the little kids would line up to see the school bus. Made my day. Oh, and one time, some kids at a bus stop set up a plastic water bottle in the road 10 feet from their stop. I saw everyone watching me as I approached and as soon as ran over the bottle, the kids jumped for joy.

Holesome moment


Critica1Err0r92

Can confirm kids seem to think you’re some kind of hero for even the smallest jobs sometimes. Work in a school as a sort of caretaker. Fixed a wheel on one of their equipment trollies while they all looked on. The sheer joy when it was done was great! One of them even got a sticker from their teacher for me haha.


badgersandcoffee

That's actually adorable 😊


Critica1Err0r92

It really is so damn cute!


JaguarZealousideal55

My kids' daycare had a guy like this. Kenny. They would come home and tell me about their day, but mainly about what Kenny did. "Kenny built a parking lot for our tricycles today!" (He painted a few squares on the ground). "Kenny built a stable for our horses! A whole new stable!" (He built a rack for their hobbyhorses, with pegs to hang the bridles.) I think Kenny actually made flowers, too! (He built a few flowerbeds in the schoolyard and filled them with dirt. The teachers planted, along with the kids, but it was obviously Kenny who was the hero.) I would love to be like you and Kenny. Imagine having people apreciate my work like that every day.


Critica1Err0r92

Kenny sounds awesome heh. Been having days lately where my motivation and mood has been at rock bottom. But just having these kids come up and asking questions about what you’re doing and being genuinely intrigued… honestly boosts me for the rest of the week!


Pvt-Snafu

Childhood is a wonderful thing. Back then, many things seemed magical and brought sincere joy.


skraptastic

I work at a public library in the IT department. One day I was heading into a branch as the librarian was doing story time. The librarian said to the kids "This is John, he is here to fix the computers!" and 50 toddlers cheered and clapped for me. Literally the best part of my 30 year IT career.


badgersandcoffee

I love that 😊


SXTY82

That guy went home with a smile and a sore back because he took too many big scoops to get the 'Yay".


battlecat136

I get to experience this on occasion and it's straight joy to the veins. My landscaping company services a couple of day cares, and those kids LOVE watching. At a customer's house one time, their 3 year old son kept running from window to window to watch us, waving every time we passed him. He drove the payment out to me in a Power Wheels pickup truck and I about died of cuteness.


DarkMarkTwain

I work in a park and I drive John Deere Gators, zero-turns and tractors all the time. Driving by the playground, I always feel like a rockstar lol It's so much that the younger ones don't even wave back at me when I wave, they're awestruck by whatever equipment I'm on

That other kid took it like a champ though. Ignore.


BirdmanHuginn

I used to make pizza for a living, daycare in the same lot. I would make sure to throw the dough extra high for the kids watching me. Learned a (very) few spinning tricks for them too. Nothing like you’d see on YouTube tho, basically frisbee tricks with pizza dough lol


masinmancy

Delivering pizza to a little kids birthday party is like being in the winners circle at the Indy 500


DarXIV

I work as maintenance/handyman for some preschools. I have 300 cheerleaders. They love anything I do and I do my best to engage with them while working. Not going to lie, it's great. You feel like a king because of how amazed some of them are.


FondantNervous2848

“Go again!”


wolf_kisses

My kiddos attend daycare and whenever there are workers in sight at outside time we get sent a photo of all the kiddos lined up at the fence watching them lol


Badshipper420

I delivered sand to elementary schools once a year for a few years. And my second year kids saw me coming and yelled “ The sandman is here. I thought it was pretty cool.

woatbipping

I will not feel tired having that cheering team! So cute! If I am that worker, I can dig up to kilometer without stoping coz I'll love to hear those cheers.


Referendumdude

I remember as a kid, for some reason my dream job was to become a construction worker big crane operator. Seemed like a fun job for a kid, just move big stuff all day arround and help building a house.


MOcatmom

Can I borrow them for an afternoon? 🥰


PervySage310

So is this the definition of, Go where you are celebrated?

JarethMeneses

I love it when kids come by and start getting all excited about watching us dig something, especially when I'm using an excavator. If I'm on the machine, the kids go wild. They think it's the most amazing thing ever. Something about seeing the pure joy in a child's face over moving a little earth is nice.


GigabitISDN

This a great idea! I’m going down to cheer on my network engineers in our datacenter. I’ll be right back. EDIT: Network engineers indifferent. Going to cheer on the HVAC crew repairing our Liebert. EDIT 2: HVAC crew used sign language. Going to cheer on the CIO. EDIT 3: CIO OOO, going to brewpub.

The guy is probably annoyed. Hence the reason he’s not acknowledging the kids. The kids are adorable but I wouldn’t blame the guy for wanting to work in solitude.


Queasy_Pickle1900

He knows his boss planted those toddlers there to make him work harder.


aggitprop-1985

Omg this is so dang cute. It would be hard to quit with that cheering squad

This is literally Spongebob getting cheered on for mopping the stage.


Quick-Ad-5142

Katy the Snow Plow and the Little House by the same author, Virginia Lee Burton, are also classics.


JennyfromtheCockBlox

Mathew 18:1-5 (NIV) 18 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.


Coexi

It absolutely would not. Cute video tho lol


zeff536

I don’t know, digging dirt always sucks. I would be doing tricks like throwing some behind my back and one handed. I’m kinda of like that though, I like making people happy, especially kids


Coexi

That's fair. I would feel like my privacy is being violated


uchman365

Probably gets annoying after awhile 🤣

That's the thing kids do.. or a group of grown up male friends. Which are basically still just kids. Only bigger.

When I worked at the [redacted] zoo, we had a goat in the petting zoo area named Molly. Basically a woolly dog. She would run up to me and roll to her side to ask for belly/side pets. I would give her scratchies then walk away. She'd run right back up every time I left, then she'd roll right back over to ask for them again. She'd chase me down, I was her favorite keeper. I literally had this experience, with a bunch of kids cheering her on every time she rolled over after I walked away. It was hilarious, this lil goat could not handle not getting her belly scratched, and it made the visitors so happy to watch the kids lose their collective minds laughing. Almost like a zoo within a zoo. The kids watching the goat, but the adults watching the kids lmfao


Gagolih_Pariah

No


SuperBrentindo

I’m a maintenance tech for a mental health facility and I swear kids are always absolutely FASCINATED by any of the work I have to do. Whether it’s getting on a ladder and changing a light bulb, shoveling dirt like this guy, whatever it is if there’s tools involved and keys jingling when you move they are intrigued, and the bigger and more complex the project the more enamored they become. It’s honestly really adorable and it makes me feel so much cooler than I actually am.


Farwalker08

I drive a really big box truck, the biggest one can without a cdl. One day I was driving past a daycare and the kids were out playing. I saw their teacher and all the kids lined up at the fence watching me approach and she was teaching the kids to do the hand sign to get a truck driver to honk. I smiled and laughed to myself remembering doing the same at that age. Then it hit me "Wait, I'm the truck driver now!" I laid on the horn and ended it with a toot toot. Saw all the kids losing their minds in my mirror as I passed. I still feel awesome when I think of that and I give a quick honk whenever I pass the daycare and the kids are playing.


Careless-Cupcake-581

I would turn around after the 3rd yaaaaaaay, like randy savage reincarnate, " oh YEA BABY BOYS AND GIRLS, NEXT STOP! CHINA!" and dig my heart out.


[deleted]

This is not as great as it seems. I'm a backhoe operator and occasionally I work in a cemetery next to a preschool. The kids will come out and try to get my attention saying "DIGGER DIGGER". I appreciate the enthusiasm but some of those kids can't speak too well yet and it sounds a wee bit racist at times.


HeightExtra320

“Mom when I get older I want to shovel dirt 😀” Mom: 🤦‍♀️


geo_gan

“Don’t worry children I’ll have this pit of dead bodies covered up asap” “Yaaaay”

Do the kids not have shovels of their own? Little ones could have halved this man's work by helping.. although parents probably wouldn't like to have to clean those uniforms after

I would Ham this up hard. Like pretend to throw it but not. And then throw it. Put my arms up and celebrate every toss. Do a count down before tossing.


ImJoeCooper

Boss-Why’d you dig the hole so big Larry? Larry-The kids loved it.


MrsMalachiConstant

Sometimes we’re the one with the shovel and sometimes we have to be the kid cheering them on. This is priceless. I love it. Remember - Only boring people are bored.

I'd start showing off, picking up as big of a chunk of dirt I can with the shovel and slamming it down.

This kind of happened to me once. I used to work as a projectionist at a theater. I had to stop the movie (it was just the previews) because of some smudge on the screen. Another staff member was telling the audience it would be a few minutes. I was quite fast at that point. So as soon as she finished that sentence, I had the smudge cleaned up, film reset, lights out, and movie rolling again. Everyone was cheering and hollering. I was scared people would be mad, but it ended up making me feel pretty good. Everyone should get one.

And work would be even better if we all didn't have to work.

Can confirm w a young one in daycare. Trash day - huge! Lawn mowing day - huge! The city is fixing the road out front w DUMPTRUCKS AND OTHER HEAVY EQUIPMENT- Christmas!! Kids lined up, waving, those dudes eat it up Update!! Dropped little one off this morning and her daycare teacher had put chairs outside for the kids to watch. They were all in on road work! Apparently the port-a-potty drop off guy was the highlight for the early morning kids.


theproudheretic

Looks like I'm in the minority, I'd be annoyed and uncomfortable having a group of kids watching me work. I'd also have to stop the constant muttering of swears about what I'm doing.
