Interesting Employees

when I have to sh!t I just go in the unfinished basement. The cement-heads love that!

Best part is, they think it's the roofers!
Even better part is, they're partially right. Except I guess the roofer doesn't use TP

Darren@Partners

Naw, Whitey, roofers use the upstairs bathtubs. Framers use the basement, nice and cool wall to lean up against. And no roofers don't use TP.

I was doin a doublewide and used a big piece of plastic, closed it up tight with a knot and put it in front of my front truck tire because the back of my truck was right by the doorway and I didn't want the customers showin up with a stinky turd bag by the door. I also knew they were comin back that night after I left. Well at the end of the day I forgot about it and left. The next morning when I got there I was like whats that on the ground... I ended up running over it when I left causing it to pop out my poo. I'm grinning right now, I can only imagine what the homeowners were saying when they showed up that night.

JoeMudder, I like the your application idea. A great way to weed out the thick ones. I can't tell you how many times I've had to show some guy how to read a tape. I just don't understand whats happened to the labor pool in this country.

I've been reading this thread since it came out, but never had the time to write about some of the knuckle heads that I've had come and go. It would be a whole book, you'd think that I would learn after a while. I got my wife's nephew into the carpenters union, first just hanging rock, and now he frams and everything. So anyway, he gets 2 dwi's in about 3 months and calls me up to huber him out of jail. Since the company that he works for was doing all out of town work he begged me to get him out during the day. Your suppose to be able to prove that he worked for me for at least a month but after I talked to the jailers, they let him work for me. What a pain in the ass, he pretty much used me up, just to get out of jail, I doubt that he hung more then 30 sheets a day, walking around like he's a big shot. One day his wife shows up to take him out to lunch, well he never came back that day. So the next morning I called the jail and told them that I didn't need him today and to keep him for the weekend. Monday morning I go pick him up, boy was he pissed. To bad, I got him out of jail to work, not to screw around all day, he called me a bitch about it. Well, after 45 day's in jail, he gets out and has 90 days of house arrest to do. During the first week they give him a drug test and he failed, it said that he had opiats in him. It turns out that he was snorting pain killers and smoking pot while working for me and before he went to jail in the evenings. So they throw him back into jail for 90 days. He calls me up crying because they don't want to let him out on huber anymore. " can't you talk to them and get me out"? he would say. Ya right, learned my lesson on that one. No wonder why he could only hang 30 sheets a day, when I know for a fact that he can hang a lot more. We used to put up over 100 working together. fricken jackoffs.

look at it on the positive side,

at least you got 30 sheets out of him without an accident

Those were the other 2 guy's at around the same time. One of them nails a 2x4 across a closet using only 1 nail on each side and throws a couple of planks across it thinking that the 2 nails could hold 500 pounds. Well, he was wrong and both of them went tumbling down the stairs. One guy broke a couple of ribs, and the guy that had the hair brain idea didn't get hurt so bad. But it turns out that he was snorting the pain killers too, just like the nephew. He turned into a piece of **** real fast. This was at a time when I was just starting a 5000 sheet project without any help that knew what they were doing. The 3 guys that even had a clue as to what was going on were down now, all because of drugs. Man that was a bad winter, I'm getting mad just thinking about it. I ended up working 7 days a week, but I got it done with no help from them. I'm bidding on a couple of projects for this winter that are big like that, total about 9000 sheets. I'm wondering why I could be so crazy, but you never know, it might be all the work there is.

Wow ..... You go to HD or Lowes or Walmart...... Get the Cheapest toilet seat ...5$ How many buckets do you have laying around ? buy a bag of dirt.

You can do either business in the bucket put a layer of dirt on it ....no smell.

My toilet seat goes in the job box ........Oh and of course a package of baby wipes in a zip lock bag..... Cause anyone that still uses TP is GROSS.

I just scrape er clean with a knife, then add my doodoo to my mud for that nice level 2 finish.

Once on a two-hour trip to a job, buddy (who had been partying all night) had to crap about every 30 miles or so. After the first 2 stops we were out of anything for him to use. The next 3 stops were a sock, the other sock, then his t-shirt. He was down to his shorts when we got to the job.

A guy on a recent job told me his dad worked for a crew in Phoenix. A guy took a crap in the bathroom tub in the house, while doing so another guy walks in gets pissed and acts like he's gonna throw his hammer at him, hammer slips nails the guy right in the head and kills him. Now this is one of "those stories" so I don't know if it really happened but damn if it did...
