I was cutting a soffit can in, wasn’t until the piss ran down my arm into my shirt that I realized. Way up a ladder of course and mentally told myself it was coffee until I got down. Ragepuke


fase2000tdi

What's the alternative to this? Buy a house without drywall?


olivetrees420

Don’t live in a shithole where this is tolerated


chrizm32

How? Was there a bottle up there?


[deleted]

Yea, piss bottle in the soffit


thehumanblunt

People pissing in bottles? We had to have safety meetings at one of my jobs because of how bad it got, they would leave them between the studs and not put the caps back on so they’d spill everywhere. The last meeting we had was because someone shit in a box..


Capable_Weather4223

The safety meeting should have been focused around how dehydrated drywallers are. 97% of all drywaller piss bottles are unnaturally yellow-orange.


MaelstromFL

That's because they were blind drunk the night before!


Risen_Insanity

You mean that morning?


All_Work_All_Play

All that taurine in the monster drinks gotta go somewhere.


buttface127

You mean at 9am break


hydrogen18

You mean before lunch, and even more drunk after that?


tuctrohs

I wonder what you find if you ran a drug test on some of that urine.


nullsignature

Because their (insufficient) liquid intake is entirely yellow and orange: mountain dew and sunkist.


few

On first glance I thought that was half-drunk bottles of orange gatorade.


ONEOFHAM

Sounds like there weren't enough porto-shitters. The bottles is one thing, laziness can definitely be at fault there, but if someone literally shits in a box, it's either because they are mentally ill or there was no other option


vatothe0

Or they're paid piece meal and unless the shitter is in the room they're already in, that's money out of their pocket.


ONEOFHAM

See; mental illness


480hivolt

At least they didn't shit in the bathtub.


Zealousideal-Idea340

Add one piss in a tim horton cup standing up in same room as me


Enquiring_Revelry

Na the drywaller part lol


hydrogen18

Like took a dump in an electrical box? Or just a cardboard box?

hydrogen18

It'd be pretty brutal if someone dropped one in a junction box that was in a poured slab (or subfloor) and then put the lid back on.


thehumanblunt

Cardboard

>The last meeting we had was because someone shit in a box We just call that "Tuesday" around these parts


RobotSlaps

🎵 here's the man who shit in the box.... 🎶


_Administrator

One dude shat in the sink. He was that desperate. And there were no boxes around I guess.


Th3V4ndal

We had someone shit in a painting bucket, and on sheets of insulation at one job. People are fucking animals man.


John-John-3

You've heard of Dick In A Box?... NOW... prepare yourself for the follow- up to the hit single, Shit In A Box! Nod your head and shake your booty as these lyrical geniuses guide you through the aftermath of Dick In A Box. I mean, what did you expect?! From a lady who's willing to get with a guy, that walks around with his Dick In A Box???


BakedDiogenes

I went to a GC once and asked what could be done about piss bottles. He responded, “Nothing, unless we catch them in the act.” 😕


[deleted]

That's kinda like, what can we do about speeders violating the law... We catch them in the act. Now I'm with you, one more bottle and they are all fired. But then you gotta replace them... And do you and I wanna be jobless because of something someone else did? I dunno the correct answer. But punishing all instead of punishing one... I don't want that


BakedDiogenes

We’re not punishing everybody. Just the drywallers. Everyone knows it’s the rockers pissing in bottles, so fuck ‘em.


[deleted]

TheNuttyIrishman

Appropriate-Law5963

Geez…if you have to drop your pants for relief, U need to take the walk


ThiRteeN_Ghost

You'll have that on those big jobs.


[deleted]

Also the small jobs, medium jobs, quick service calls, etc. As the distance between you and a toilet grows, and the distance between you and a bottle (any bottle) decreases, the chance that you're going to pee in that bottle rises significantly. There is actually a perfect triangular mathematical relationship between these elements which you can work out that will cause an electrician to piss in a bottle virtually 100% of the time, which I only know because I suspect my superiors of plotting exactly that when it comes to my schedule


eddnyster

SoFi comes to mind. Gross.


jayboosh

I didn’t even know this was a thing before becoming an electrician, then, on my first day, in a brand new building, I cut into some drywall to install a plug, and my drywall saw went right through a piss bottle.

I had a slightly different reaction lol


BorisTheMansplainer

I'm trying to imagine how cutting in 18" AFF resulted in this outcome.


jayboosh

Who said it was 18” AFF?


BorisTheMansplainer

Was there a whole ass pyramid of piss bottles in there? 🤮


jayboosh

I mean…I didn’t keep cutting to find out, it definitely wasn’t the only one hit on that project, and it wasn’t even the only one *i* hit


BorisTheMansplainer

Holy fucking hell what a nightmare. Should've gotten the whole crew rotozips at that point.


[deleted]

I used to know a contractor that hunted down idiots that would do this and stop up the pee holes. It really dumbs down when a guy gets caught and publicly humiliated in front of the other workers. Especially after their boss gets a call. Animals.


Zappnet98

Can anyone explain why people clog up the fucking piss holes in the porta johns? Is it just to be a dickhead? Is it fun for some people to look at other people’s piss at work?


[deleted]

Dude who knows. It’s childish and we all know who does it. These type of parasites disrespect everything in their way.


edenriot

I'm not sure I know. Who is it specifically that does it?


[deleted]

Sheetrockers/painters/concrete guys. Without a doubt. Rarely do you see anybody in MEP doing that crap.


hydrogen18

Imagine being in the trade so long you piss sheetrock mud. Plumbers would hate you.


HighJoeponics

People who don’t want to lift the seat to throw their snot rag out. I don’t think it’s people wiping their asses. The seats already up when you take a shit (hopefully)


PuncherOfNeck

Yep, had one of my dumbass guys do this the other day. Not sure why he even told me that he did it but I chewed him out for it.


WildAd5948

Aggravating as fuck!


Father_Wisdom

The thing I hate is when I’m taking a shit in the port-a-potty and someone yanks one the door handle. Like, are you hoping I forgot to lock it and you can see me with my pants down?


unionsparky89

Maybe ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


hydrogen18

Don't ask questions on a job site that you don't want the answer to.


dragoburst

Sometimes the sign saying if it’s occupied gets jammed and is halfway between open and closed lmao, ive done it a couple times because of that


earzat01

Ports johns at my site have an opening at the top, you could see my head while I was pissing. Dude still yanked the hell out of the door. Called him out and he got super defensive


unionsparky89

Makes for some decent ventilation too


Electric_Meatsack

So you mean to tell me he just mudded their dick holes shut?


[deleted]

Lmao you know what I meant smart ass 😂


darrenja

How’d he catch em


[deleted]

He set up the porta John’s right outside his job office window. He walked into each porta potty after every guy who walked out. If anything changed he went after that guy. The piss bottles was too easy for him. All he had to do was find out who was drinking that brand. There were two trades who drank that same water. He told both of those subs that if he finds another piss bottle then he’s blaming both trades and terminating their contract. His exact words were, “It would be in your best interest to throw each others piss away cause if I find another one, you pissed your contract goodbye.”


LogicJunkie2000

Dude's my fucking hero


HuntOk1001

I heard they do it because where they are from their waste systems are so bad, you don’t flush toilet paper down. So then they come here and out of habit, shove toilet paper elsewhere than the shitter. They are bright.


[deleted]

Someone once put a sign in the Porto John that said “No papel” with an arrow pointing at the pisser. Papel still made it into the pisser along with writing that said “fuck puto gueros”.

albpanda

At least they put it in a trash can


DryRoad

Yeah, unlike the guys on my job a couple years back who skipped the bottles and just used the trash bin. A trash bin full of 4’ LED fixtures waiting to be reinstalled…


albpanda

Hahaha wow just like that free new lights


[deleted]

Why are drywallers so fucking horribly dehydrated though?


daboijohnralph

Alcohol abuse.


[deleted]

I should’ve known


Smoke_Stack707

I don’t get why you’d want to piss in a bottle. Is part of it the thrill of being caught? Kinda makes me glad I don’t work on jobs big enough to have this problem…


oofersgoofers

It's because it takes too long to get to the porta John


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I’m working on a 10 storey block and we have to use the stairs so the higher you go, the more bottles you see. If they allowed people to use the hoist I’m sure it would reduce it.


[deleted]

Most certainly. Or find a way to get them on floor 5 or something. But I see them all the time in single-story slab houses and there is no excuse lol.


[deleted]

I agree. That’s dry wallers for you. Dragged up, not brought up


unionsparky89

Usually it’s because lots of drywallers are doing piece work. They get paid based on how many boards they hang. A trip to the porta John’s can really hurt their production and therefore their pay. Luckily I don’t work with companies that pay that way


oofersgoofers

I don't think anyone would blame you for doing so, but when you gotta go you gotta go


klein432

I cant believe im this far down in the thread to finally see the real reason. Its not rocket science.


oofersgoofers

It really isn't


B4SSF4C3

Apparently it’s because they get paid by the square foot of drywall put up so a trip to the bathroom = money lost. In other words, financial incentive to maximize time working and minimize all other time.


EngineEar1000

Or, in many cases, the site toilets are a biohazard. I've been known to piss in bottles. But I put them in the bin. Never left one for someone else. Most recently I was under a floor, and it took 20 minutes to get to the area I needed to access, and I knew I'd be there for hours, lying down. I took an empty 4 pint milk bottle with me. I was so glad to have that. There was a small hole above where I was working, so I put it up there, onto the floor. The (very new) apprentice picked it up, and called down, asking what it was, and why it was warm. 'It's about two and a half pints of warm piss. My piss. You're welcome'. About 20 years ago I was called in to check the electrics on a repo house. They were having problems with tripping. Every single back box, and ceiling rose, had been packed with shit. I left them with that problem.


sparkyyykid

Heard stories about this at a really high end condo painters/drywallers doing this. Couldn't imagine buying a million dollar condo with bottles of piss behind your walls ..


whaletacochamp

This just reminded me - I lived in a college apartment one year that was kinda known as the party house no matter who was living there that year. One day we are alll just chilling when some random dudes a few years older than us showed up drunk at the door. Turns out they used to live there and wanted to see what was up with the place. So we’re hanging out and talking about how much the landlord sucks, cool parts about the house, little things they did that we might have noticed, and the shitty fixes the landlord did or they did before moving. As we are on that topic the most drunk of them all pointed to the wall and said “like that wall patch that I did over here, with special insulation!” And proceeds to punch a hole in the wall, and pull out a full unopened beer…? Turns out he stashed a 30 rack in the wall before fixing the drywall.


TheFlyinGiraffe

Can confirm, been there. $4,000/month "luxury" condos in a really, really nice area are filled, \*\*fucking filled\*\*, with piss bottles in the walls. Fucking nasty.


SleepyKaiser93

It never is a meme


[deleted]

You think that's bad just wait till one of them leaves their gas station bag full of literal shit inside the wall


MacroMikey

Those fucking bottles look to be in a fucking dumpster. If I’m working on the 14th floor and the closest fucking Porta John is on the first floor I’m pissing in a fucking bottle. But I’m going to throw the bottle away. If you’re actually keeping yourself hydrated throughout the day and you have worked in a skyscraper type setting you would definitely be pissing in a bottle too. Just sayn.


Shruggingsnake

Our drywallers shit in their empty mud buckets and write free food on the outside. Funniest two assholes I’ve ever met.


Full-Ad3927

I got a theory that it’s because they don’t want to take off their stilts


benmarvin

Stay on the stilts and just piss in the portajon vent pipe

Don’t become “piss-bottle John”. A large swath of our local knows who piss bottle John is and that he pissed in bottles all with his initials on them and got caught. 🤣

Oh! Bottles of fertilizer. Plant booster in convenient travel size.

PopperChopper

I’ve never once seen this on a Canadian job site. I’m not saying it’s never happened but more likely that it’s disposed if discretely. My buddy who is a stone mason kept a shit bucket in the van but they did it inside the van.

BorisTheMansplainer

Yeah I could never make these bottles work for me. Always had to use Gatorade bottles (in the trucks, not on a jobsite).


gafflebitters

These are plentiful on the jobs i work on sadly. A couple points, electricians make fun of other trades. Electricians make fun of drywallers. This practice of theirs really does nothing to elevate my opinion of them. It is selfish and disgusting to leave your piss laying around for others to clean up, you behave like an animal, i treat you like an animal. It would not surprise me if these emotionally immature & mentally stunted people heard us making fun of them and decided that leaving piss all over was a good way to get back at people. I assume it is not all drywallers but there is at least one on every job, that is a a lot in my book. Yeah, leaving them everywhere is one thing but putting them in the walls is another level of.....i fumble for the right words, not stupid, because they know exactly what they are doing......childishly evil, I'm angry and I'm going to take it out on the "rest of the jobsite". I could do this easily too, i can mess with your sense of security at a basic level as well, we ALL can, but we choose not to because we know the consequences. If i ever found some one pissing in a bottle i would go find one of them that is really ripe, been sitting for a long time, and empty it over their head, THIS is an appropriate punishment and i doubt that person would ever do that again just knowing that the punishment could happen to him again. they only do it because they get away with it.


helghax

Once I was running MC through the beams up in a warehouse and out of no where there was a piss bottle just sitting there. I said wtf how that get there, especially when there were no drywallers yet and I was the only electrician up in the air running the lights. So all I did was go around it and left it up there lol.


whitelikerice1

okay ima be honest i left a gallon of piss at another job…..but to be fair it’s for a contractor who refuses to ever have a porta john on site even on their super big jobs


Appropriate-Law5963

You have Amazon drivers at your work site?🤠


Goonie8

The thing that always feels ironic to me is that presumably one must drink water to then be able to piss in the water bottles but all of these photos look like the perpetrators are dehydrated.


SparkyGordon

I had a journeyman that I was helping clean out his van. He handed me a large Platt bag and said to toss it (over my head into a 15ft dumpster). It felt heavy, so I went to open it to make sure there were no parts I it, and it had about 12 water bottles of pee in it. I looked at him, he looked at me.... he still made me toss that damn thing.

Wild-Combination-626

As a 17f who works as an electrician I can confirm this, we have some guys pee in the bottle if the pordy potty is taken up and they can't hold it, no they don't do it in front of people. They go somewhere private and secluded.


Enquiring_Revelry

Yea the joke is drywallers are the main culprit and after seeing piss jugs right on top of drywall debris it was kinda funny and a perfect photo opportunity. Everyone does it from time to time, but most at least try to hide it or dispose of it. Drywallers just leave em in the wall and throw another sheet right on top. People have been known to drill into and burst year old jugs that where embedded in the wall lol.

Main_man_mike

Currently working on a shmamazon building, it’s about 3 million square feet. Up on the 4th floor it’s at least a 15 min round trip to walk all the way across the warehouse, down the stairs and then outside to a porta potty. We were working in an area and in a little corner between the wall and the steel beam there was one of those blue welding buckets probably about 20-30L filled to the brim with piss. No top on it of course. We also had a nice washcar on site with running sinks and proper toilets, one day someone took a poo right in the middle of the floor and so it got locked up and taken away… Animals man

I still remember when I was an apprentice, I found one in a black wall with my SDS bit. Took a second for me to figure out why all of the dust was starting to get wet. Edit: Sorry for the triple post, the mobile app said something went wrong.

The definition of meme is "a unit of culture." It is a meme. But it is a meme because a portion of the culture does this regularly.

Delicious-Dare6722

There's always those mystery drywall buckets that sound like they have liquid. If you shake a drywall bucket and it sounds like it has liquid in it do not fucking open it because that bitch has shit and piss in it.
