Say what you want about the Hispanics but they will work their asses off
I hired 2 from the Home Depot parking lot a few years ago to help clear and burn some brush
Couldn’t have asked for better workers
I paid $10 an hour plus $50 bonus for each

Hard doesn't mean quality. Their plumbing/electrical is atrocious

Much of what they do outside landscaping, is make shift and shoddy.

 

[Mr.Blonde]

They are very hard workers, they just don’t realize how bad they’re getting exploited.

Oh they know… As long as they are here in the greatest country in the world and they have made it to the land of opportunity they dont care, but There is also the possibility of them being here and they have to send money back to the cartel just for being here, which is very prevalent and unfortunate. Just cause theyre from poverty doesn’t make them dense.

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible but a lot happened in a very short time.

Had this idiot in a Rivian cut me off today, I was so close to rear ending him that I heard packages slam against my bulkhead door when I hit the brakes. Naturally I laid on the horn. What’s this idiot do? Accelerate about 30 feet then try to brake check me, only problem was I was pretty much at a dead stop. I switched to the right lane to try and get around him but he cut me off again and brake checked me. I yelled as loud as I could, “What the * are you doing?” His windows were down so I knew he heard me.

This dude gets out of his car, truck, whatever the hell it is and walks up to me on the driver‘s side door. I closed the door so he stopped, starts pointing at me and says “You want some of this?” (with a lot of curse words and insults) I told him to get back in his vehicle. He doesn’t, instead he starts walking toward my passenger side. Red faced, cursing, very erratic behavior.

Now I’m thinking this guy is insane so I put my truck in park, unbuckled and stood at the top of the steps. One hand on railing with my right leg cocked back as he approaches the open door. I didn’t even hear what he was saying because my adrenaline was pumping so hard. In the most aggressive tone I could muster I screamed, “GET BACK IN YOUR VEHICLE OR I WILL KICK YOUR * TEETH IN!” At this point he is standing with one foot at the bottom step of the package car. He pauses, likely realizing the disadvantage he’s in and backed off.

“Ooooh you gonna threaten me you ***** I’m calling the cops!“ Pulls his phone out and takes a picture of the license plate, all while crying about getting me fired and filing a lawsuit. After a minute long meltdown he finally gets back in his stupid car/truck/whatever and drives off. This was on a two lane road, so during the entire altercation vehicles were struggling to get by becsuse we were blocking the right lane. I called my sup as soon as possible and told him about it. He said, “was there any physical violence?“ I said no and he says, “Okay you should be fine, we will deal with it if someone calls in. It’s probably some lunatic, so forget about it.” I also called my shop steward to give him a heads up. He made me feel a little better with his own road rage story that was even more heated.

Anyway, that was my day today. I’ve never had anything like this happen to me. There is a good chance this dude was on drugs, his behavior was out of control. When he set his foot on the bottom step for a couple seconds I pulled my foot back ready to kick him with everything I had. My inner voice was saying, “DO IT! DO IT NOW!” Luckily he backed off. In that moment I could have easily broke that guy‘s jaw, and most likely lost my job in the process.

Have any of you guys been involved in road rage incidents, or am I a nutcase? I don‘t even know right now. I need a little comfort right now, not gonna lie.

Yes, this happened to me a week before we were to strike. The guy blew through the light aggressively drove beside my driver side and said " I HATE YOU UPS MF'" and gave me a firm FINGER BIRD. Didn't stop there, he aggressively pulled in front of my pkg car and stomped on his breaks and claimed I hit him. So I met him at the gas station to discuss his claim and He said " I should fight you MF'R. Will add when he stopped in front me the police had already been contacted. He continued to follow me cut, me off again jumped out his car and said I'm going to video tape you and get you fired. He ultimately drove away, he came close to getting on the truck passenger door was open, but he did not enter. All the while I was trying to lead him to the police waiting for me @ the building. We only did a police report, the did not catch the man. I must say he was like 70 and old and I would've could've easily beat the BRAKES Off em. Took the high road preserved my job and called supervisor whom in turned called the police. No, this has never happened while working nor in my personal life.

Want to add this situation is highly uncommon, keep your head up and know it happened to me too. It's so surreal but YES it happened.

Similar thing happened to me also. He was not 70 years old but complete road rage coming out of nowhere.

Never in my dreams would I even imagine someone being so angry over getting honked at. It wasn’t for no reason either, I legit almost destroyed this guy’s vehicle.

If you find yourself bewildered again just remember there’s men out there that women wont touch them and have a napoleon complex, they are called incels. They are usually threat yellow.

 

[Pullman Brown]

Oh man I was so close to kicking this guy in the face, he was all leaning into the cab chin first too. Only thing that stopped me was the thought of losing my job and a real quiet voice saying, “Wait, you might kill this guy with a hard kick to the head.” I thought about grabbing the fire extinguisher and giving him and mouth full of that but probably wouldn’t have time. Absolute nut jobs out there, all over a horn.

This is one of the very few circumstances where a well-filled pee bottle would have come in handy!

Pipe down dont pretend like you have the steady hands to pull off a procedure like that.

I firmly believe this was that dude’s problem. He must’ve spent thousands of dollars on cosmetics, clothes, his vehicle and even surgery to get laid but still couldn’t convince a woman to get naked with him.
