Plumbers broke through this foundation to add pipes, compromising the structural support of the home.

It’s hard for me to believe a sane coherent person did this.

100% I was baffled trying to imagine someone normal doing this? They make 45s and 90s for a reason just go around?

However, I’ve also done speed and cocaine. I could imagine being all fired up, teeth grinding like fuck, and just smashing right through that bitch 😭

That is a refreshingly honest take

Which tradie doesn’t get on the beak or fet?

u/Boysenberry-Street 2d ago

Why would they do that, what a waste when it turns out like this example.

u/Parking_Ocelot302 4d ago

I bet being that geeked. Smashing thru a wall would make me feel like the hulk.

u/Ok-Put8034 4d ago

I'm too fat to feel like the hulk, I'd probably feel more like the Kool-aid Man.

u/Naked-Jedi 4d ago

In the same boat with carrying the extra chunk.

When I'm smashing shit, I like to think of myself as his lesser known flabby cousin The Incredible Bulk.

Why thank you, I've never been called incredible before.

And do you listen to Jesus playing lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd while he wears a tuxedo t-shirt?

Did you eventually see the sailboat?

u/Naked-Jedi 4d ago

It sank. Carrying too much chunk.

Most meth users see a drastic weight change.

u/Then_Investigator_17 2d ago

If you did speed or meth, you probably wouldn't be fat much longer

Coke really does like to cement the first idea that pops in your head

u/T46BY 4d ago

Lends itself to tunnel vision on "how do we make this work with what we got" with no consideration of just getting a few additional parts that would make it work.

u/meatloafcat819 4d ago

Thank you, you actually just made me realize why most business people can be successfully incoherent most of the time. You can’t tell them no lol

u/punksheets29 4d ago

It’s easy to break through when you’re on speed

u/I-Love-Tatertots 4d ago

I feel like I’m the only person who didn’t get the real coke experience when I tried it…

Spent a lot of money on it to try it, even bought a testing kit to make sure it was legit, and my nephew who procured it (he’s only a year younger than me, basically my second brother) was hyped up on it, and so was his stripped ex-wife….

Meanwhile I was just walking around thinking “this is like a worse version of adderall, because at least adderall makes me productive”.

I’m kind of glad though, because if I liked it too much it would have been an issue.

u/sousyre 4d ago

I read the first half of your comment and my reaction was, umm… have you perchance heard of ADHD?

Second half, nevermind. Lol.

u/I-Love-Tatertots 4d ago

Never been officially diagnosed, been meaning to do it but keep putting it off... Used to have someone who got 90 each month and would give me 30... COVID took her unfortunately :(

u/sousyre 3d ago

That really sucks, sorry for your loss.

Good luck with the diagnosis.

u/T46BY 4d ago

Like if it was some amateur job like I've experienced fixing my Dad's shit I could kind of understand it without the meth, but if you actually paid some "professional" to do this other than meth I don't know how this is possible...prions?

This is one of the best things I've ever read.

u/Max____H 4d ago

Either that or upset with the house owner, I’ve seen some fun work done by upset tradesmen. I was working on a shutdown at an oil refinery and hear my site supervisor just lose his shit laughing for like a solid 10 minutes. He stops our entire crew and has a meeting just because he found it so funny and wanted to share the story. Apparently on the site next to ours a crew had been laid off without reason but still contractually had to finish the job they were on so the entire crew ignored their drawings and just started randomly welding pipes to each other. The new crew came in and done an initial site inspection and about 700m of pipe work looked to be in the right place until he looked closer and found it just does a full circle of the site then joins back to the start again.

u/Accomplished_Load984 3d ago

I could read story's like this all day long

u/Reddenxx 4d ago

This shit making me laugh broo

u/hummelpz4 4d ago

To cheap to rent a core drill.

u/Altruistic-Good-633 4d ago

I suddenly have a new understanding of the Kool aid man just busting through walls all through the 90's. That makes so much sense now!! Truly thank you for your insight.

u/River2DC 4d ago

Fuck this cinder block and its whole existence... Jimmy give me the jack hammer we goin in... sniff sniff

u/Vociferate 4d ago

I read this and was audibly laughing.

I use to work with a Mechanical Fitter who was a lifestyle meth user. (We worked 3 weeks on 3 weeks off).

And on our RnR, he would do some side jobs. Geared up, and off his gourd. I can 100% see him using the same thought process. SMASH REH BITCH! LET'S GOOOO!

Hope you're OK Mickey! Gifted fitter, loves the drugs.

u/DeBomb123 4d ago

There’s a lot specific plumbing code for routing and the amount of offsets you can use and the sloping of the pipe. Could explain why they don’t go around but if you’re going to go through a wall you core drill it and not hit it with a sledge hammer 😂

u/IceFire909 4d ago

Punching or eating through?

u/K1NGEDDY423 4d ago

Bro same here. I did alot of drugs in my life, but I haven't gone to these extents lmao. But ye I have done alot of dumb shit

1

u/Crayons4all 4d ago

Those just help you make bad choices at a faster pace then normal. At least for me

1

u/Fickle-Act1200 4d ago

Only on Reddit could you find someone who has enough plumbing experience to understand why this should not have happened AND enough drug experience to understand why it did. Thanks for the insight! Lol

u/Apprehensive_Ask_259 4d ago

Not only doing it high on meth is a likely scenario but also believing what youve just done was a stroke of genius. Meth is horrible but in the moment youre king of the world.

u/InTheBlkHoodie 4d ago

The first part I was like “yeah”, second part I was like “woah”

u/I_Dont_Like_Rice 4d ago

No way I’m going to Home Depot and back, hand me that sledgehammer I’ll make it quick

Meth logic

u/Hege98 3d ago

it comes back like in 2 meters why would you go around if it is not needed?

u/AntonChigurhWasHere 2d ago

Is this my brother in law?

u/irresponsibleshaft42 2d ago

I feel like the added paranoia would have me freaking out about clogged pipes with the bends too sharp so id come to the "logical" decision of making holes to achive maximum laminar flow lol

u/forsurebros 1d ago

That escalated quickly.
