A Queensland artist is airing the clothes of his industry in an online storytelling series and has uncovered some incredible acts.
Kyle Romaior, 31, is a fully licensed electrician who has worked in the industry for years and has heard many stories on the site.
Two months ago, the 31-year-old set up an anonymous confession box on a construction site to see what traditions had been submitted.
It was a success, and now tradies can anonymously submit the wildest things they’ve done or seen at work online, and the results are shocking.
One dealer admitted that after a customer refused to let him use the bathroom, he retaliated by saving his pool and including it in the renovation.
“I doubled it. He threw it against the wall with insulation and covered it with a sheet”, he confessed.
Another dealer confessed that he and his friends used to draw unpleasant animations of a rude female customer on the unfinished walls of her house they were building.
She never had to know because the art would eventually be covered up, but their boss didn’t know and walked around the site with her, and she was confronted with the rough drawings.
After she discovered it, they were paid for their work so far, but lost the remainder of the work.
Horrifyingly, one renderer admitted that when he was working on a construction site where there was no bathroom for miles, he defecated in a bucket and then mixed his tub with concrete and used it to finish the walls.
“I got on with the job and now every time I drive by that house, I think they literally have words embedded in their walls,” he revealed.
There are also tons of anonymous stories of tradies who discover sex toys in unlikely places, or have affairs with married clients or hot moms who turn them on.
One dealer admitted that after coming to a woman’s house to fix a problem, they ended up having sex, and it wasn’t until it was over and he was “packing his tools” that he noticed a wedding photo on the wall.
It’s a terrifying insight into the secret life of traditions, and people who watch the videos are usually shocked.
“My jaw is broken,” wrote one.
“That’s crazy,” remarked one.
“Wild,” someone else wrote.
Mr. Romaior told news.com.au that the stories that hit social media aren’t the craziest either, but he doesn’t feel comfortable sharing some of them.
“The wildest stories I can’t share because it’s against TikTok and Instagram guidelines,” he explained.
The 31-year-old said that the most popular stories are frauds and those where women sleep with traditions.
Videos recounting the tradition on TikTok are racking up hundreds of thousands of views, and while Mr Romaior had a “hunch” they would resonate, he is shocked by how quickly they have taken off.
The 31-year-old has found pleasure in sharing his industry stories online and hopes it will open up more conversations.
“In a private setting, traditions talk to each other. There’s never been a problem with humor on the ground, and civilians have never had the opportunity to listen before,” he said.
Mr. Romaior also hopes the platform will allow him to share other important traditional stories and discuss things like mental health.
He said trans people often still feel pressure to be seen as “difficult”, and while they do talk to each other, there is still a stigma to talking about mental health issues.
“It’s not weak to talk,” he noted.
Construction sites talk about funny stories, not mental health, but hopefully that will start to change.
Although his industry can be a little controversial, the 31-year-old likes to be a tradition. He likes that he can move around and isn’t stuck in an office all day.
Sometimes it’s disgusting that people always complain that traditions are “overwhelming” as the electrician pointed out, “no one sees the work we do”.
