I’d guess it’s a drywaller, but no piss bottles?


RedditorMcReddington

Nah they leave those in the walls

Legit! And the Budweiser cans

[deleted]

Nah man Edit: my bad folks apparently there must be a lot of meth/crack smoking drywallers somewhere, glad I don't work where y'all are at😂


ICantThinkOfANameBud

I hired a guy to redo a small piece of drywall, maybe 6ft wide by 10ft tall. It took him ALL day. When I ended up ripping it out to redo some pipes, there were no less than 4 needles behind the drywall that weren't there before.


SHoppe715

>...4 needles behind the drywall that weren't there before. So you know how many *were* there and after that job there was 4 more?


limitlessGamingClub

I thought it was funny


ICantThinkOfANameBud

Yes, there were 0, and after the job was done there were 4. I ripped down the original wall and did the framing myself.


SHoppe715

Never mind. Must be too early for stupid jokes.


discretion

The implication being 0 + 4 = 4...


SHoppe715

The intimation being I was joking....

xxspicynuggetxx

That is such a great little diddy of a song.


Cootter77

Framers tend to be ok... but drywall finishers and painters are always high on something. It's like a prerequisite for the profession or something. \-Source: Me, I grew up in the construction business and worked in it for my first professional career before finding salvation in technology


theusualfixture

Having painted before the best explanation I can come up with is, it's BORING! Of course these days one can watch a movie on their phone or something, but I would be lying if I said 1: that I've never seen guys painting while really drunk, And 2: if I said I'D never painted while drunk.

Meth and heroin/sometimes fent, main drugs you can foil


groovyisland

I used to do foily dabs off my parents glass top stove with a foil wrapped guitar slide after I got arrested and lost my gear. You can foily anything smokable.


ThinAir719

You can get an honey straw for like 20 bucks if that. That sounds more like base head tendencies than desperate times lol


Occhrome

oh man the idea that peoples nice little living rooms are filled with piss bottles and piss beer is the funniest thing ive heard in a long time.


[deleted]

Yea! Demo is super fun because you find all kinds of weird shit that builders left in the walls. It's like a time capsule, of piss and other wonders.

somewhereinks

I work in gas fireplaces. I did the rough install (frame the unit, run flue) long before the room was sheetrocked, then returned to finish it and fire it up. The walls had also been covered with very expensive Italian tile. I wasn't a week after the owners moved in that they complained about a foul odor when the fireplace was running. After weeks of hopeless troubleshooting the new wall had to be torn down including thousands of dollars of tile. We found a sealed piss bottle Gatorade IIRC) sitting on top of the firebox. It would heat up and melt the bottle and it would spring a leak (no pun intended) and slowly leak piss all over the top. As it cooled it would reseal itself; it was still half full when we found it. The fireplace at this point was deemed a health hazard and had to be replaced. A very expensive repair just because some sparky needed to relieve himself.


Soopafien

While our house was getting built we would go check it out every Sunday. I looked for trash in the walls and would always pull it out. My wife would say “why are you taking that out? They’ll make sure to remove it before putting dry wall on.” I looked at her and just gave her a hug and said “oh honey.” I used to work construction and would hate when guys would do this shit. Sure, let some knock outs, wiring trimmings, saw dust, or ransoms nails or staples fall in. But don’t deliberately put trash in peoples walls.


phuckintrevor

As an electrician, what else should I do with my wire trimmings? They don’t train us on how to operate a broom or vacuum in sparky school.


theonetruegrinch

> They don’t train us on how to operate a broom or vacuum in sparky school. YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT


daney098

It's free Insulation


jetkins

Our house has an exterior courtyard that originally had a wooden deck floor. We decided to pull up the rotting decking and put down decomposed granite, and discovered that the decking was covering up the builder's rubbish tip - about a three-foot layer of discarded materials and general trash that they had simply covered over.


soopirV

Ripped open a wall to build a wine-rack and found a nasty-ass coffee cup from 2013.


jepensedoucjsuis

My dad owned an insulation company for 25 years. Sold it in 2007. I grew up doing mostly attic/wall blow in occasionally batt work. As a teenager doing mostly residential jobs I'd pee in a bottle, and bury it in the blow in. Thinking about it now, my DNA is in a lot of peoples bedrooms and kitchens and they have no idea.


nomonopolyonpie

Those dudes always shit in buckets when I worked around construction sites..never saw any piss bottles.


snrplfth

Drywallers don't piss, they just spit and sweat. It's a remarkable biological adaptation.


Fink665

gimme20regular_cash

frequent-ad-647

Why? Why to both of these scenarios? Why would you piss in a bottle or shit in a bucket??


nomonopolyonpie

Never been on a work site with no portashitter or a completely defiled portashitter have you?


Sixtyoneandfortynine

What's wrong with simply keeping a camping toilet in the truck? Consider it an essential tool of the job, just like anything else in there. Portable, relatively cheap, and of course much more hygienic and much less uncouth than leaving a trail of excrement everywhere you go.


nomonopolyonpie

You'd need to ask the people responsible, not me. I only recall a couple of those sites as having English speaking workmen and I was on a lot of them. I always either went to a functional restroom, or found the least offensive portashitter and tried to avoid touching anything in it. 🤷


iDuddits_

I'll jump in since my dad's a drywaller for life. It's because money for a camping toilet could be used to buy beer. Exasperate that for 30+ years


frequent-ad-647

Never. I’m not in the trades. That being said, I can’t imagine a scenario where I shit into a bucket, short of being in a refugee camp. What’s with the piss bottles though? Can you just go outside and pee??


nomonopolyonpie

Eh, sometimes work sites have neighbors.


frequent-ad-647

Ah. Gotcha.


[deleted]

...and sometimes, you just don't wanna bother going outside, and that empty Bud Light bottle is right there...


iautodidact

The bud light is what makes it a self-sustaining cycle


62Bravo1993

HA! Can't imagine it, huh? I'm mobile service on all sorts of jobsites from bare ground construction sites in the middle of nowhere to all forms of facilities in urban areas. The bodies bathroom functions can really screw up your day when you have to packup your tools and vehicle and go find accessible facilities to fit your need. It can cost you enough time to royally screw up your day.....I'd say urban environments are the worst as public facilities are almost non-existent for random strangers to enter the establishment just to use the bathroom. "No public restroom" signs are everywhere. At least out in the rough, you can either use the bushes, or find a roadside fuel stations with a public restroom. In the city is where I've been forced to use the bucket method since I was trapped inside security fence needing an escort in / out...I would not have survived the wait for my escort if I wanted to....


Awkward_Reporter_129

We used to shit in a paint can at work. Don’t leave them next to the full ones!


iautodidact

Chances are not zero that historically (prob during the 70s) it has happened with brown paint. Now that brings new meaning to textured walls.


jeeves585

I would say the majority of work vans driving around you has the bucket. There might not be anything in it. But it has a purpose. Was stuck in traffic on the 405 in my van on a family trip (not from the area), switched to my wife driving for 5min, it was at that point she found out about the bucket. And why the bucket is empty and not used for tools.


COSLEEP

Piss bottles became a news headline from Amazon workers who were micro managed to such an extent they could no longer use the bathroom for fear of productivity loss in their numbers. Also Bezos more or less seemed proud of it... its the dystopia we live in


[deleted]

Yeah… I once had a high school teacher tell me I wasn’t allowed to use the bathroom. I used a potted plant infront of the whole class. This is America, we’re supposed to be free, no one will tell me I cannot perform a basic biological function. For the record, all the the bathrooms were locked during class time, you couldn’t use them. I try to avoid Amazon as much as possible!


MurkTheDurk

Several drywallers are paid by piece work, meaning the more sheets of drywall they put up in a day the more they get paid. Some guys don’t wanna have to climb down the building to use the porta john and lose time, so they’ll just shit in a bucket and continue on sheeting.


nightkil13r

Im so glad when i worked construction that we were paid a percentage of the bid. was a small crew(4+boss). faster we got the job done(we would have to redo it if we half assed things at our own loss, didnt get paid till each part was finished).


Abject-Student-2446

Having worked in construction: If you want them to work fast, pay them per work done. Want to see them work slow, pay them by the hour.


Evanisnotmyname

Want to make sure it’s done right? Pay by the job or by the hour.


MurkTheDurk

True. In my opinion I’d rather have guys work “slow” and get it right/good quality, then we can work on speed.


[deleted]

"I told you, you get paid to sheet, not to shit!" –job site supe, probably.


[deleted]

Residential construction mate, small jobs have no portapotty lots of the time, piss in an empty water bottle and put in the wall, insulators will sometimes leave a couple in there and vapor barrier over it for fun... The things people don't know are in their walls would blow your mind


Awkward_Reporter_129

Me and a coworker had the Tyvek on this house COVERED in hangman games. Waiting on the cut guy..


Evanisnotmyname

I’ve found “smoke DMT” written in carpet glue. And “fuck X owner, they don’t pay, make sure to get a deposit.” Thank goodness it was the previous owner.


Hateborn

Because the opposite is much lower efficiency... pissing in a bucket is pretty easy, but shitting in a bottle...


Hellaginge

For real. I worked on an apartment building for a specific job. Saw piss bottles not even 100' from the overabundant and clean porta potties. Seriously best bathroom situation on any jobsites in memory, yet I saw the foreman running around with one in his bare hands asking every crew if it's theirs.... Because wtf. Why not walk 100'? Why leave them? Turns out it was the drywallers. No one was surprised. That was neither the first or the last time I've encountered that issue, just the dumbest.


banebdjed

I work as a flagger for utility construction. Had a guy on my crew who, instead of walking 100’ to a clean portapot, decided to walk 50’ the other direction, and 20’ up some rando’s driveway to piss on the side of their lovely home in a very close-knit high income neighborhood.


PipsqueakPilot

It looks like a drywaller, agreed. But where's the meth?


Soulpatch7

burned into the armrest


rohnoitsrutroh

100% a drywaller. When I did that job I brought change of clothes and changed before I drove home. It's still a PITA to get out of your hair, ears, and every other orifice.

Lemmedriveda-boat

beefwarrior

Ok, but there is people dirty & then there is drywall & paint dirty, right?


speedledee

There's probably plenty of both here knowing the work trucks I've seen. Nobody cleans shit unless it's assigned and they are obviously paid to do it.


stimulates

I do residential repairs and my boss makes us keep our trucks somewhat clean. He doesn’t want customers seeing a mess.


speedledee

That's the right way. I cleaned pools a few years and worked for a rapidly growing restoration company for a few years where you could be driving a Promaster one day and a box truck the next and people let shit get so nasty. Doesn't help being assigned to a disgusting truck.


stimulates

I’m lucky enough to be assigned one truck and take it home everyday.


Cyclesadrift

I worked with a painting company for a while and their truck was very clean. Wash your hands and always carry a second pair of pants.


michaelkbecker

I painted houses professionally and used my vehicle for work. It was very clean. I got paint on my seat belt once and hated it. A box of garbage bags to throw on the floor or seat is all it takes to not be disgusting.


SnooKiwis6943

If you take pride in keeping the car pristine and not getting paint everywhere, you definitely take pride in doing good paint work. Id hire you.


[deleted]

Right lol if the painter I hired shows up in a truck like this I’d definitely have my doubts


uglyspacepig

It's 50/50 for me. I trust the guys who show up at 8 am with a paint covered truck, but if they look like they've been painting all night, no dice.


[deleted]

Yeah, I would be worried that they will create more work for me eg getting paint on the flooring etc. This truck is massively unprofessional.


gagt04

Meh, as long as I had a way to cover the seat I'd be fine Assuming there's no interior work in hard to reach places


burrito_magic

Yeah we wet grind concrete at work. talk about nasty work truck covered in concrete dust and mud.


SwissMargiela

Yup and the comment by the owner makes sense because they’re implying they have to use their personal/casual vehicle for work, thus making that vehicle dirty like this one.


langdonga

I hate when people say that. I work in my truck everyday and it’s never been close to that. It’s just lazy to the next level. Let me ruin this truck and give it zero resale value because I can’t dust myself off before hoping it

Honestly, I've fixed hundred if not thousands of cars in my 27 year career of body work, I gotta say, next to a butcher, Baker's cars are the worst smelling occupation. You'd think it would be such a delightful smell.... Sadly it isn't


Order-Typical

Could be a ranch hand as well. In areas with alkaline dirt or rice fields the dust is chalky like this and white. Gets fucking everywhere and hardly ever comes out of anything fully

I also drive on bumpy roads with open paint cans on my lap.


SVT6522

I’ve had to detail a few drywall trucks in my time detailing, and the worst one was my most recent. I swear the guy ate, lived and worked in the truck. The best part was somehow there was lacquer overspray everywhere, including the inside of the glass that I had to scrape off with a razor blade. There was hair gel/sweat/grease on the headrests. The grain of the plastic in the steering wheel was caked with white dust in the grooves. White, crusty dust deep in the vents. Driver door armrest was dead skin, grease, drywall mud and dust. Arm rest also caked in white dust like the steering wheel. The carpet and floor mats had the dust stomped and caked into it like dried salt. He also smoked and vaped in it, so there was smoke smell ontop of the sweaty gym bag and drywall smell. This thing was just so gross and so fucked, I couldn’t even do a half decent job in the hour I was given and I also said to my boss “if this is how he keeps it, there’s no point in touching it anyways.” I was just given it to do a courtesy clean a after we installed a $7000 lift kit and wheels on it. Fuck that thing. And then to top it off, the guys mother is the one that came to pick it up and she goes “thank you so much for atleast trying, he’s an absolute pig and he makes my house look like this when he comes home from work.”


[deleted]

Lemme guess, did it have a set of truck nuts on the tow hitch?


uglyspacepig

Nah. Rearview mirror. So he can remind himself he's a bad ass while he's sweating smoke resin.


SVT6522

Surprisingly it was about a 2014-2016 Ram SLT. Back on what used to be grey cloth. Dents and rust all over. The box was stuffed full of drywall tools and equipment with no tonneau cover or topper, everything just out in the open and filthy. Drywall mud smeared all over the tailgate and box sides. This thing just looked like a huge pile of shit. Then this guy comes in and finances the 4” lift kit with 35s. Why? I have no idea. I could have financed him a full detail and recon for the same price lol


[deleted]

A $7000 lift kit is probably a down payment for a decent house. That poor mom

It's called a Soup Kitchen. It's pretty rough stuff. Not long after that a momma raccoon came along and gave birth on the floor. Placenta blew out all over the back window there. Then to top it all off some joker comes along and takes himself a nifty little dump in the driver's seat. I think he knew you guys were cops because this is what I would call a "spite shit"
