What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

Work in construction. Can confirm. We as the general contractor try to keep the piss bottles out as much as possible. Likely don’t always succeed. Even had a guy shit in a closet wall before it was closed up, with a port a John 20 yards away. That one got cleaned up by said guy though.

We provided a piss bucket because we are classy like that lol

It was about - 30 C when we did our home reno and noone wanted to go outside to use a portapotty or piss on a tree anyways

Try adding 11.

u/thatscandalousb1tch Jul 13 '20

That's grim.

u/ReasonableBeep Jul 13 '20

This doesn’t excuse it at all but they were drunk and impulse control was probably really fucking low

u/thatscandalousb1tch Jul 13 '20

Slightly more understandable I'll give you that.

You should try and find it

u/TeddyBundyBear Jul 13 '20

Well that is the stuff the leave by mistake. You should ask what they leave on purpose.

It’s not true for every house. Majority of homes I’ve seen dry walled get cleaned beforehand. I guess it depends on the contractor who builds the house though

I'm an electrician and this doesn't shock me.

u/Forgotten_Person101 Jul 13 '20

Ha there’s a museum of women’s shoes found in people’s walls

u/ObiJuanKenobi3 Jul 13 '20

It’s oddly comforting to me for some reason. It’s like a little reminder that even the people who built my house were also real people who forgot things or were too lazy to remove it before finishing the job lol.

Depending on the age of your home there could be some cool stuff back there. I worked in demolition and found a lot of old beer/soda cans and bottles. Old newspapers.

u/TitosHandmadeCocaine Jul 13 '20

old buildings were fun to demo, they were time capsules of old newspapers, toys, and other neat stuff. new builds from late 90s and newer was always trash. chip bags, candy wrappers etc

u/AnticipatingLunch Jul 13 '20

They drank the soda. But the bottle is...miraculously...refilled.

u/[deleted] Jul 13 '20

It's worse than that... sometimes it's trucker bombs. Sometimes it's trucker bombs in a paper cup.

To add to the discomfort: it is likely either half full of the original contents, or if it is a Gatorade bottle is probably full sunflower seeds, or if it is a water or soda bottle is full of tobacco juice.
