A Labor-Tooth Tiger works nonstop like a maniac, ignoring food, sleep, and their significant other until the job is done. They're usually covered in dry-wall dust, paint, and grass, and they're always at Lowe's or Home Depot, where they spend way too much money on tools.

These tigers take on every project like it's a war. They plan for every possible disaster, even if the original plan was simple. That’s why your five-day job ends up being a month-long nightmare.

I built a shelf. Now I have a full-on wall system, a light fixture, and a new power outlet.

The toilet overflowed. I fixed it, then replaced the whole toilet, the floor, and the wall.

I got up from my chair and it sounded like a bulldozer hit me.

I tried to paint the ceiling and ended up crying because my back hurt so bad.

You don’t want to mess with a Labor-Tooth Tiger when they’re on a job. They’ll fight you with power tools, and they’ll win every time. They’re like a beast in a home improvement store.

My wife tried to stop me from redoing the whole house. I just turned on the drill and she left.

I had a fight with my brother about the flooring. He got a hammer, I got a saw, and now he's on the floor.

They’re handy, but mostly for disasters like overflowing toilets, holes in walls, and random plumbing problems. You’ll never find them working for a contractor, they’re too proud for that.

I called a plumber. He came, fixed the pipe, and left. I fixed the whole house and now I’m arguing with the contractor.

My dog chewed up the floor. I fixed it, then painted the whole room, just because.

Labor-Tooth Tigers are rare, but when you find one, they’re worth their weight in power tools. They guard their home like it’s their kingdom and they’ll fight anyone who tries to take over their job.

I found a Labor-Tooth Tiger at the hardware store. He had a hammer, a drill, and a look that said 'Don’t even think about fixing this.'

I tried to hire a contractor. He just looked at me like I was a joke and started painting my house.

I walked into the store. The guy behind the counter said, 'You must be the new Labor-Tooth Tiger.' I said, 'No, I’m the old one.' He groaned.
