Poll of the Day > Ever work with a drug addict?

(+) Yeah! (+)

dude i work with feel asleep for 2 hours then lost our work keys then looked at me as if he was gonna kill me

Kind of? Guy I was working with got dropped and tested positive for coke. He was addicted to Crack in the past, so I assume it was the same now.

Nearly everyone I've ever worked with has been a caffeine addict

probably

I didn't see any symptoms though

Worked with a guy that everyone assumed did they never bothered to drug test him since he worked in one of the data centers by himself, never messed up, and put a lot of effort into the job. He was hella creepy and no one liked being around him and one of the other Data Center managers was down right terrified of him, so much so that the LA Data center guy filled all the data center cabinets and stuff of pictures of him after he left.

I used to work with a guy that would get fucked up off of xans I think, he was a delivery driver too, one time he ran into someone's mail box

LOL what the h

tbh the people with cigarette addictions take up the most time at work with their habit

People who smoke are fine, people who have smoked weed were mostly fine, people that have done hard drugs were fucking awful to work with because they have no control of their lives

you're addicted to air

Literally, it uses the same part of the brain

Possibly, though I don't remember any of them exhibiting obvious signs.

I did have a co-worker who got fired earlier this month after failing a drug test.

Yes. But it was cool. We were all doing a bunch of coke together.

Yes and I work in a prison. Dude would be lethargic and lazy. Go to the bathroom for a little while then come out with Hella energy and start giving all the inmates hell. He's in rehab now. He gamed the system. Right as people started to suspect him he entered rehab and you can't fire someone seeking help for their addiction.

I hope he gets his help but I also hope he considers another line of work. He was a real piece of shit. He always tried to push his work off on other people and once even came and just told me to swap posts with him. When I asked why he had the balls (honest at least) to say he wanted to sleep (my post had me off camera where he was under a camera) and he got pissy when I said no. What really got to me about this is he was still pretty much a new hire where as I wasnt.

To my knowledge no but I have worked with people who did drugs but I have no idea if they were addicts or not but it doesn't surprise me in that America now has the world worst drug addicted people and the worlds worst mental illness and I can't understand how a country as wealthy as the US could have so many societal issues compared to people in countries that have major issues that we don't see in the US at least not on the same scale.

Yep, worked with a guy who once or twice dropped acid on his way to work -- call him a user rather than an addict, really, although apparently his habit was quite a bit heavier outside of work. It was a tad unsettling on one occasion when he lost some focus while handling drums of toxic chemicals.

Yeah, I worked with a guy who absolutely could not function without weed in his system. Which I found out about when he drove off to go smoke up a bowl *with me in the car next to him*. And I was the safety inspector for the job site.

So yeah, he got fired for that - honestly, as much for his stupidity as the drug use.
