I'm working downtown next to one of the largest construction projects underway in America. As a result of this fact, I frequently see construction workers walking around with their hard hats and other protective gear on. Many of the hard hats these workers wear are covered with stickers...I'm talking plastered!
Now, I know that job sites often require you to attend a 'job site safety' course before you're allowed to actually work on the job. Upon completion of this orientation you're issued a sticker with a number on it. and you're told to wear it on your brain bucket. This way, if you violate any job site safety rules and get caught, your hat number can be referenced and they'll know who you are...however you're dealt with depends on the severity of your offense.
In the industry it's a sign of being seasoned when your hat has a large number of job stickers (even more impressive is when you've got stickers from specialized, large scale jobs from all around the nation).
My gripe is when these workers (mainly talking about the guys working outside my window) grab any and all stickers they can get their hands on and slap them on their hat in some weird attempt to 'appear' like something they're not. I've seen guys running around with stickers promoting radio stations, energy drinks, sports teams, rock bands, etc.
You're probably thinking "Yeah, yeah, yeah....So What?! Who cares if a guy wants to turn his hat into a portable bill board?! What does it matter?".
My response: Well, it really doesn't matter much at all.

If I had a hard hat I would so be sporting 80's band stickers, just like my car. I would be an ambassador of good music.
