Workers are repairing downed electrical lines after a storm.
TikTokers shared a picture of a bunch of linemen on a dating app.
The wives of lineworkers have taken to the platform to rid themselves ofbucket bunnies who pursue their husbands.
The blue collar men were dispatched to fix the power lines after Hurricane Ian.
"Just want any wives or girlfriends to be aware that their lineman husbands or boyfriends, now that they're out of town helping us in Florida, this is what my Bumble account looks like," she said in the video.
TikToks showing pictures of linemen on dating apps, particularly one byemilyhosein1, sparked intense conversation on the app, eliciting jokes from spouses and backlash from angry spouses.
The video was viewed more than 9 million times. The # linemen, # line wife, and #bucketbunny have a combined total of 381.2 million views.
Many relationships can be strained due to the fact that journeyman lineworkers are often on a job site for weeks or months at a time.
The world of drama on the platform was created by posts from "bucket bunnies", women who are openly pursuing lineworkers.
Line wives said they spotted their partner in the video or men with families who they recognized and requested from others for Floridians to post more.
She encouraged "bucket bunnies" to continue to post about the men they were seeing on dating apps since her husband was not currently in Florida.
She said "for any of you ladies who have found your man in this post, wait" You don't know for a while. You get rid of the bad guys. You go and live your life to the fullest.
Lineworker wives took a different approach.
"You might have a snack," a person said in a TikTok. He knows he has a full meal at home.
She said to say that if you're thirsty or desperate.
A woman who calls herself a "pipeline wife" gave a three-fingered salute to line workers' wives. She wrote that they dealt with row hoes before Tik Tok. As the linemen wives prepare to take on the bucket bunnies, I stand with them. It's not a trend to wear blue collar.
While some spouses have directed their ire at "bucket bunnies," others have focused their attention on the "hell" that the actual linemen may face.
"I promise the men fear the wrath of their old lady a lot more than anything Hurricane Ian is doing right now," said TikToker. "I know that's a natural disaster, but baby, this will be hell brought to you in a handbasket, and I'm sure all the others will be caught on them."
Videos from self-professed bucket bunnies have elicited anger from linemen wives, but they mostly inspire jokes.
The dating profile slideshows have descriptions of their partner and care notes like he likes the extra rinse cycle on his laundry, to disillusion posters from the desirability of the linemen wife life.
When you want to return him to sender, let me know so I can clean my house and hide the Amazon packages, said the TikToker.
Brit Hunter told "bucket bunnies" in an October 1 video that being a linemen wife is not for the faint hearted.
She said that it was too bad that you wanted to buy a cute 1950s farmhouse and fix it up. If your husband isn't home to do it, pay someone to do it. He is tired when he is at home.
The app's amateur sleuthing has been affected by the app's viral nature. At least one man shown in the videos is not the same man as the one in the picture.
A video was posted about the mix up. He said that he was in Florida and on the dating app.
The owner of the account was banned from the dating app on October 1st.
DeMelo said that he had finally cleared his name.
Jake's photo was used in a profile under the name "Landon", though the photo was taken a long time ago in Iowa.
I didn't work in Florida because the power company didn't let me go and I didn't have a phone. There are certainly some posers down there.
