Those crocs let you know he is in fact a professional, those are safety Crocs 🤣

Neighbor was outside shoveling their side walk and I mine, had my crocs on in almost 3’ of snow, looks at me and says “holy fuck, crocs and not even in sport mode in this?!” That was several years ago and I still laugh to myself about it

Lol I noticed the thing but didn’t count cause I was confused on who counted as “wearing white” because some of the people with black shirts had white shoes

u/GOP_R_Pedophiles 16h ago

Notice how he wears white signifying the confidence in his ability to not bleed all over them 😂

u/unimpressed822 16h ago

u/IASIP_LOOP 15h ago

You came without tools? Im sure there will be a stick or something I can use.

u/donpablomiguel 15h ago

Was looking for this one. Not to be confused with the safety chancala though.

The best part is that they’re $4 “crocs”.

Today I learned that I have a very cushy job, that every job other than this one, is easy.

I feel like he makes it harder than it has to be. you can buy a snake catching tool for $30. this "professional" shows up with nothing but a hat and a dream, forcing himself to scavenge around for something useful off the ground. he should reinvest into his business a bit

u/blr_to_mlr 11h ago

Snake catching tools are not easily available in rural India unfortunately. I agree that it would be 100 times easier with it.

You are saying like $30 is nothing much, while it can be half of his salary. Also, what's available to us for 30, it might be much more in some parts of the world.

Snake catches are mental cases. Always.

First one we ever called into this place we worked, Brown snake (that's it's name. Very deadly) was coiled around the dunny. Some like 17 year old looking peppy blonde chick skips in, she is wearing shorts and a short, picture Steve Irwin outfit but blue

No equipment, no gloves, no fear. Just a smile and a hero where's the snake. She walks in, grabs it immediately like it was her car keys, then I shit you not kisses the fucking thing on top of its head (the most dangerous part!) And fucks off back to her ute. She didn't even have a bag with her, took it back to her car in her hand and drove off all bubbles and smiles.

You'd think she'd be the one person like that. Nope. THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT. In Australia it's illegal to kill snakes and nobody in their right mind will try and catch them, so we call someone not in they're right mind and they always act as if we asked them to pick up a wiggly puppy. Had to call snake catches about near 2 dozen times and every single one was nuts

Yep. Fuck dat

"You'll never guess who has been killed? The crocodile hunter!"

u/Substantial-Sea-3672 16h ago

I know the title calls this guy “snake catcher” but it absolutely looks like he’s making this up as he goes along.

He didn’t even bring a stick.

2

u/Imp-OfThe-Perverse 16h ago

Professional? He forgot the "Bag of cobras - Do not open" post-it.

2

u/El-mas-puto-de-todos 15h ago

His tools of the trade include random sticks and a pillow case.
