Anyone hear the plow driver on the radio this morning bragging about how he stayed awake for 24hrs of plowing? In case you didn’t, he advertised that he uses MARIJUANA CIGARETTES and RED BULL… awesome. Where would one report this asshole? Why don’t they follow the same drug testing and driver log reports of truck drivers?? —No wonder someone got hit by one

FAIL. What a fucking dingus – he should be fucking fired.
So what? How many people go to work hopped up on coffee or spend the day chugging a coke? Is pot seriously any worse?
People who are compare driving high to driving drunk in a way that in any way equates the two have no fucking idea what they are talking about.
This ain’t no feather duster I’m driving…, wait a minute it’s like a cross between a big feather duster and the ScoobyDoo van and instead of Shaggy and Scrappy the Blue Meanies from Yellow Submarine are baking brownies on the the engine block and if we can keep these down we’ll be doing pretty good and then HOLY SHIT A FUCKIN PTERODACTYL just swooped across the highway DID YOU FUCKIN SEE THAT christ I’m hungry I want some fucking mangoes but Martin Sheen says never get out of the boat unless you’re prepared to go all the way heh heh dude said go all the way….
I heard that too! I was kind of flabbergasted actually, not only that he does that, but feels that it’s appropriate to inform people that he does!
was this on one of the spoof stations, that bullshit you all the time.no one, and i mean no one, even remotely crazy, would ever say that on a radio station. no matter how little of a chance anyone ever listened to it. I CALL BULLSHIT ON THIS ONE. unless the o.p. has a recording of it, to share here, that is what i call. occifer tim, i call shenanighans on this one.
I heard it too. I thought, what a fool, because he also gave his location.
Fuck, maybe if he snorted cocaine, he’d get the job done faster – he probably plowed in circles for hours.
Get him tweaked on crystal meth he’d have not only cleared the streets, but dug the hole for the convention center.
Good one Ivan-the-Inmate! Liquid snortingly good. That’ll bring the convention centre in under budget!
Spot on Snoop! The comparisons between impairment of alcohol and marijuana are ridiculous. Apples and oranges.
Sleep deprived drivers, with or without the chemical enhancements, are just as big a threat as hopped-up drivers. Bleary-brained feather-duster operaters. If this one guy is admitting it, how many others are there just like him? Scary stuff!
….giggling to myself in my cubicle again, thanks Ivan. And I have a new neighbour – I have to behave!
How about we all be outraged that people in snow removal are so ridiculously sleep deprived all the time? Isn’t this a management issue not a “OMFG RED BULL AND POT!!!” issue?
People should not have to work 24 hour long shifts, if that part was even true…
My comment of the plow driver going around in circles prompted the thought of this fucking funny video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHzdsFiBbFc
I’m sure most of you guys have seen this but it’s certainly worth a second look.
Send new neighbour a bitch you think applicable…in no time, you may hear giggling and then you can relax (LTWWB: a different kind of addiction).
Ha Ha Ha Ha! I never saw that video before = )
Who uses the term “marijuana cigarettes” anyway? 😛
I have never seen this arachno-silliness before TaTa-girl! I had to watch it twice because it certainly IS worth a second look! Between you and Ivan-of-a-thousand-giggles today I’ve spent more time rolling on the floor than anything else.
nobody i know…but i found this http://saveoureconomylegalizemarijuana.fil…
I was watching it on my iPod at the hospital a few weeks ago, waiting for Hub-Unit to have an MRI – I laughed so fucking hard in the empty waiting room (it was after 5 p.m. on a Friday), two health care workers rushed over thinking I was crying and hysterical.
Lucky they didn’t send for the welcome wagon to have you carted off to the enn ess, laughing hysterically to yourself and all!
Is the enn ess still operating? I thought they released everyone into halfway houses and gave them a pension to blow in a week or so (prompting them to turn to panhandling) before the whole thing was plowed under to prevent people from coming back.
I wonder how many ex-residents wander the halls of the college that now stands in its place.
= p
Those feather dusters were out in full force last night, and then early this morning spraying salt. OP, was the plow driver froma private business or working for the municipality?
i didn’t see it on the news seb^^
TTFN. Thanks for the laugh 🙂
I think Mr. Plow here also moonlights as a Metro Transit Driver. Just got home after not one but 2 unscheduled detours through scenic Burnside and Highfield. RedBull and Reefer – the breakfast of champions
paingirl, nothing is ever true in HRM unless sebastian makes a stupid comment about it first.
Wouldn’t that be so surreal if it was like that NFG? We’d all have to wait in our pods in the morning to find out what reality-of-the-day was… oohhooohhoooo… creepy…
I’m definately onside & critical of the stupid marijuanna laws in this country….but getting high & driving is on par with drinking & driving.
Not that it has the same effect(s) not that one or the other is good or bad or worse. But any of them is impairment. but if your reflexes & or attention span is effected, you shouldn’t be driving.
Fuck it isn’t rocket surgery !
no one should get baked and then go to work. i won’t debate the effects of dope vs alcohol but using either one on the job is not cool
rocket surgery… heh heh
How much does a snowplow weigh?
Professinal drivers are only allowed to work so many hours a day, that number is not 24. Tired, stoned, and jacked up?
Ditto More. You shouldn’t be on ANYTHING while driving. Nothing at all. Double that thought, you shouldn’t be on ANYTHING at work, driving or not.
Snoop, but I’m High on Jebus… is that wrong too?
creepy and queer, TBR!
Snoop… I wasnt saying the substances were the issue, I was saying that this being allowed is the issue, why are they not regulated? Drug tested? Made to fill out driver logs?
The point was:
He has been working 24 hours straight, he is driving a HUGE machine, he is IMPAIRED (who cares how), he is drinking energy drinks to stay awake (obvioulsy awake too long) and he is bragging about it on the radio while acting like a complete idiot screaming “WEATHER BOMB, WEATHER BOMB” like some drunk high school brat.
Now I dont give a crap if someone wants to go to work stoned/hungover/drunk, whatever, go ahead. But if you drive anything or are responsible for anyone’s safety while at work and you are high/drunk/hungover/impaired in any way or in need of energy drinks to stay awake YOU SHOULD NOT BE WORKING!!!!!!!!!
…or you could end up like this:

just yet another reason to avoid driving in bad weather…

Sorry Frenchie, I just sort of assumed that you thought the substances were an issue since you CAPITALIZED BOTH OF THEM.
I was simply pointing out that marijuana and red bull aren’t really that big of a deal in general, and that a lot of people incorrectly assume pot is just as bad if not worse than alcohol (not necessarily you seeing as nowhere in your bitch did you compare the two or even mention alcohol). It didn’t have that much to do with your bitch, because sometimes when I find a bitch that I agree with and thus don’t have anything to add to, I’ll bitch about something else that pisses me off on the same subject. I actually agree with you, as you might notice after reading my other comments about how they should be better managed and how people shouldn’t be on anything behind the wheel and/or at work.
And TheBlackRose, that shit is worse! Seriously, I wasted away half my life on it, YOU NEED HELP!
QUICK! We need a Jebus intervention for miss rosie – STAT!
Rawk!
But Baby Jebus loves me…. when I masturbate it makes him cry (he cries a lot)

GOOD, he was probably going to cry anyways…
I once read a safety bulliten at work that said ‘ Would you congratulate a employee, for having 3 shots of hard liquor a half hour before starting work ? If you wouldn’t why do you congratulate workers for working double shifts ?? after 13 to 14 hours of working, a person hits an cognitive impairment level equal to having been drinking alcohol “
Really made me stop & take notice. Because this is how I’ve worked/lived for over 20 years .
Looking into it I found others in my industry made this. My longest day has been 27 hours, I’ve done so many 20+’s I’ve long ago lost count. Doing 16’s ,6 days in a row is pretty tough as well !
