Jfc yes. Why i quit doing tree work with my step-dad. He would give conflicting instructions, get days wrong about when my next day of work was and then get annoyed when I would demand clarification and specifics. I still love him and still would work for him on occassion but God it was frustrating sometimes.

Like it’s been a long time since I have done that kind of work and it is literally the most dangerous job in the US (not talking pruning and landscaping I’m talking taking down giant redwoods and eucalyptus on private property near houses and infrastructure with extreme precision) and you can’t just expect me to immediately understand what you mean when something like “the hook” might mean you want me to detach the log clamp from a 1000lb section of a redwood or the clamp from the actual hook connected to the boom crane.

Now these examples may seem obvious even to NT people but it led to me fixating on making sure I knew exactly what was meant by every instruction and harder to trust my intuition when I did know what he meant or thought I did.
