“Constructional Signals”

Have you ever stood outside watching a crew work on the roads, irrigation pipes, houses, and so forth with heavy equipment blasting in the background, and the men sending signals? Maybe you see the hand go to the neck and does a cut throat chop? Ever wondered what this meant? Well, this means that the worker messed up and the job is finished.

Another body signals is the hand on top of the head. This means the position of whatever the man is doing is too high. The hand touching the chin and dropping to the stomach means the action is too low. If the fingers are briefing the chin at a level angle thus the person is telling you the project is leveled.

Still, others will combine hands over chest, legs crossing over, and shaking head to let someone know they screwed up.
