Meanwhile, robots are slowly taking jobs away from painters
VideoGreat, now we gotta deal with robots smoking weed in their cars on break.
So true. ( I'm a painter) Lol
I firmly believe it's the one and only trade that it isn't a problem for. I've almost come to blows with other carpenters who've put my well being at risk because they were less than attentive due to smoking weed on the job.
The weed is to take the edge off the VOCs they’re inhaling
And it gets boring
a podcast or audio book helps too.
I've worked in a basement reworking the electrical as an apprentice electrician in high school. The painters were there for over a week because some rich old lady wanted an interior red brick wall painted stark white. They slept in the empty rooms upstairs and worked all day, making bank, but it was obviously hell for them. 20 coats of paint or something absurd just on that one big wall.
Anyways. I had to install all the outlests and crap in those upstairs rooms. Now it was obvious these guys were stoned off their ass the entire time and no one cared because they were very good at their job. Kept it clean and professional. We were all friendly to eachother and they were a laugh sometimes
But little 16 year old me discovered late into the job what 5 gay dudes did all week with nothing but weed and mattresses on the floors. The smell in those rooms. The trash. The accessories. Couldn't look them in the eye anymore
