Old timers still using framing squares for everything

I was on a job in Austin last week and saw a guy trying to mark a 45 degree angle for plumbing with a framing square. Spent 15 minutes messing with it when a speed square would have done it in 10 seconds. Why do some folks refuse to pick up a simple triangle square for pipe work?

Nah, some guys just refuse to learn new tricks.

Used to think it was stubbornness on their part, but @caleb_bell5 you got a point. A lot of guys just don't want to adapt or try different approaches.

And don't forget, some of them treat learning a new way like it's admitting defeat in a video game. Just gotta level up your relationship skills, man. Almost like some people enjoy being stuck on the same frustrating level.
