April showers bring May flowers — and Florida hurricanes bring eligible Tinder matches.
“Linemen,” the workers laboring over Florida’s destroyed electrical wiring in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, have taken the state by storm — and women are swiping right.
But as the men rush to work, their “linewives” fear they’ll be snatched by “bucket bunnies,” the term they call the women lusting after them.
And the bunnies are certainly out to play, wasting no time hopping onto social media to ogle over the workers.
“Everyone saying pray for Florida but this is our Tinder now,” one TikToker joked in a clip with 9.3 million views, showing her Tinder feed flooded with dating profiles belonging to said linemen.
“Candy store,” one user agreed in the comments.
“My fav kind of man,” another chimed in.
“Bucket bunnies,” loosely defined by Urban Dictionary, pursue linemen regardless of their relationship status — and some two-timers have already been called out by strangers online.
Linemen, linewives, bucket bunnies — oh my! Fellow wives stood in solidarity with those of the linemen online. TikTok-@ohhmteeAn eagle-eyed user claimed to have caught an electrical worker, who goes by Blake, potentially being unfaithful to his girlfriend. In one video on his page, he swore he’d never jeopardize his relationship, but his Tinder profile says otherwise — it was spotted in someone else’s clip. Although he denies he’s even in Florida, users in the comments claim he’s “gaslighting all of TikTok” — or maybe he just has an eerily identical doppelganger.
But some linewives are out for blood — threatening the so-called “bucket bunnies” who dare inch near their taken men. While it’s no WWE SmackDown, some harsh words are being exchanged in some not-so-friendly fire.
“You wanna know what I find ironic?” one linewife asked in a TikTok with more than 14,000 views. “When hurricane season hits and all the little bucket bunnies come crawling out of the woodwork, us linewives are a different kind of breed, honey. And rabbit season starts soon.”
Under the video, which was captioned “I’m hunting wabbits,” fellow linewives and allies stood behind the TikToker’s quips, while others questioned why she would go after other women.
On TikTok, the so-called “bucket bunnies” rushed to parade their Tinder feeds online. @emilyhosein1“Yall get all upset with girls but if the man is on tinder that’s not her fault smdh,” one user retorted.
“If your man cheats then you married a bad guy,” another agreed.
While the creator claims she doesn’t have to worry about her own husband, she warned other linewives the fate of their marriages could be grim.
“I am a pipeline wife,” another TikToker wrote on a clip with 556,000 views, in which she referenced “row h–s,” defined by Urban Dictionary as a woman who works in the pipeline industry but engages in sexual activity to advance professionally. “We dealt with Row H–s before tik tok. I stand with all the linemen wives as they prepare to take on the Florida bucket bunnies. Blue collar is not a trend, it’s a lifestyle.”
While it’s not a “trend,” it’s certainly one form of confusing drama and entertainment.
One TikToker, @dimijimmy1, put it best: “You’ve got linemen, you’ve got bucket bunnies… you’ve got Tinder and you’ve got me, watching this all unfold, and I’m thinking to myself, ‘Wow, I love it here.'”
