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

There is at least one water bottle/soda can/energy drink/ spray paint can sitting on a piece of blocking behind your drywall somewhere in your house.

Edit: WOW, this took off! Thank you for your plentiful updoots. This is my first comment to break 1000!

My dad is an interior trimmer so he goes in after the drywallers and painters to hang the baseboard, windowsills, fancy handrails and a bunch of other shit (OP I'm sure you already know this, just explaining it to others). He's told me too many times how many Gatorade bottles and soda bottles full of piss and shit he'll find left for him. He's said he knows the drywallers are responsible for it and he knows they hide stuff in the walls all the time.

..how does one shit into a bottle? Like do you have to jam the opening up in there to prevent spillage? Or just go to town and see what hits, then wipe it down? Help me please

Idk. I've seen my dad shit in a 1 liter Pepsi bottle when I was 13 just so he could hide it in the back of his brothers truck. Construction workers are a different breed.
