So many of the ground crew just don't give a damn because they're not smart enough to understand how fragile an airframe is or how much stress it's under in flight. The sad thing is how it lowers perceptions of ground crew, because a lot of them are smart and conscientious but reap the disdain earned by the morons.
You don't work at RAF Brize Norton by any chance?
