Crack heads & tweekers...low lifes & slum lords...crazies & cheap hookers..

Lets hear it!

 

[Chris1971]

Not at all. Not worth it.

Yeah I worked in down town Los Angeles and watched a guy [email protected] on the side walk and then proceed to piss in the street all while he was pissing on his hand and licking his fingers he was yelling at me "you like that! You like that!" I just kept staring and laughing. Great stuff on good ole wilshire blvd.

Maybe unrelated, I've only been on one job where the locals cased the jobs & cars.

Been on a few overlooking things with action...

Ok. I just don't get the luxary of choice.

I'll work the poor side of town. Early in the day. Feel bad for the kids.And Moms.

 

[mikeh32]

Oh, just the ghettos of chicago.

I have seen it all.

they dont even bother stealing tools here, they just steal the car, or the entire gang box.

One of my favorites was when my coworker came out to having no bumpers. They didnt take anything else, just the bumpers.

I worked in the "D" most of last summer...some areas worse than others.. you definitely see some shady ****e.. I do feel better knowing that three of us have cpl's and exercise our right with said licence..also its important to have eyes in the back of your..head on a swivel.. PAY ATTENTION to your surroundings...

Working in the hood now, went across the road to the shore and found a big feed of paddle crabs.

Last year we worked at a school that had a lot of bullet holes in the steel window shutters. This year I've been doing a lot of service at a homeless assistance place. I saw sex in the weeds, and guys talking to themselves, actually arguing with themselves. You ignore them and don't look them in the eye and they usually won't hassle you. Don't walk around smoking like another vendor did. He didn't have a cigarette left. I think I took pictures of the school.







Yes, these are school windows. Near 10th and MLK, (Martin Luther King) if that gives you a clue.

I did a bunch of work for a Level III psych ward... have to bring a helper with no tools to keep guard and make sure no one stole a screwdriver off your belt.... while you are wearing it.

 

[TOOL_5150]

i work in oakland, ca


its so bad there, even the terrorists dont want to bomb it.

 

[owl]

Yeah.

Guy wandered on site, asking for Kolonopins.

Another guy wandered up, furtive as hell, soaked in sweat, and "looking for demo work." I could see him scoping out the place. I let my boss know, but boss still kept tools there. $2000 in tools missing shortly thereafter.

Honestly, I can't think of much right now. I work in poor areas pretty frequently, and what I see depresses me, so my brain blocks it out.

The worst of it in Vermont>

[drspec]

rewired a house a year ago where every racial stereotype was present

hookers, cop cars, corner store, homies hanging out across the street sorting scrap

my favorite part of that job was when I came out to the van to get something and there was a guy riding down the middle of the street at 9 am in a motorized wheelchair carrying a plate of hotdogs

just weird random **** like that
