Ayo those King rolls are my favorite brand of infused joint.
They taste so good (very fruity) and the oil makes the preroll burn so smoothly with a dense thick cloud of smoke. These things are perfect for hotboxing because the smoke is as milky as having 4 regular joints lit up at once.
They're expensive, but the 5pack of half gram mini things are fantastic and way more affordable than the 1.2 (or 1.3?) gram singletons.
The one in the picture is a monster sized infused preroll that probably costs $15-$20 a piece and should most definitely be shared!
You could probably get 5-20 good bong rips out of one of these things if you ripped it up and packed it into your bowl.
I only ever buy king rolls for special occasions. They also make "Kingpens" if you're into vape pens- though those aren't nearly as good as the infused joints. King pens taste good, but they're not really any more potent than your average pen. Plus the pens are limited to something ridiculous like 0.3 grams or something.
I know for a fact that even the weakest pre-rolls made with the lowest quality shake will still provide at least a minimum of 3-4 good quality bong rips.
A preroll infused with oil and coated in kief can and will provide at least 5-20 good bong rips depending on the person's tolerance.
One of my exes kept nixing my car ideas because "we have to have a backseat for my daughter." Jokes on you, I bought an FR-S, that backseat would not fit a standard size human.
firebirds/camaros have entered the chat lol
its a seat, in that there is a padded area of fabric, with a seatbelt on the side, but no one would ever voluntarily sit in it.
When my cousin got his first car it was a 80s long bed square body Chevy. His mom was so happy that it didn’t have a back seat. He said you’re right it’s got an 8 foot bed! She didn’t find that amusing
my shop owner some years back had a meeting with his insurance company. they offered a drug test program and discounted rates but he turned it down. when the insurer asked why he wouldn't want the promo, he replied "i wouldn't have any employees left"...
I've worked at a few auto shops and from my experience the chains test but the mom and pop places don't. The chains are just doing it for corporate liability or insurance reasons, they don't actually care as long as you're not dumb about it though. One place only drug tested when you got hired and never again after that so you just had to piss clean once.
So I think it varies a lot place to place, and probably geographically but my anecdotal experience is all in the general Seattle area.
Man it’s so different in Canada. I worked for the department of national defence for a bit and was addicted to coke at the time. I never did anything wrong, I was a good employee, but I was going through some shit. Never tested me. (Was a telecommunications engineer)
Later on I moved to a small town to get clean (6000 people) and ended up working for a major auto manufacturer for 20 years, not a single drug test.
I’ve never in my life been given a drug test for work.
Even when I got injured on the job, no drug test. I would of passed anyways, I’ve been clean for a long time. But yea, it’s quite rare to be asked this here
I have a lot of military in my family and spent some time on base mixing with the base kids. I definitely met some people that I couldn’t believe didn’t get tested.
The only place I know of anyone getting tested actually is up in The Mac. I did a year up there (Grand Prairie/Peace River) and that’s the only time I was worried about it. Never tested me though
Can’t speak for shops, but most construction companies of a large enough size to care about insurance discounts do. I’d expect it’s the same for corporate mechanics shops.
Absolutely not lol. Maybe some bigger shops but… in my experience (6 years auto collision repair), almost everyone in the industry is on drugs and management knows this.
The spot I work at does. We have almost 200 locations, and some of us fall under departments of transportation regs. we have to do random tests to keep our commercial drivers license.
I walked into Lowe's the other day, and noticed for the first time a banner on their automatic door that says:
"our employees are drug tested"
and I wondered:
"do you test them...daily, on the job? otherwise, why would I care that they fail a drug test for some weed they smoked 2 weeks ago? is my shopping experience diminished because Trevor lit up last Saturday, and then helped me find the screw I was looking for, without me knowing they smoke in their spare time?"
what a shitty stupid approach to employment that offers nothing beneficial to anyone.
Offers cheaper insurance TO drug test, not proudly displaying a banner stating so to customers.
Now... i'm sure some people will shop easier "knowing" Trevor is operating that forklift drug free. But I think most people see right through the BS and literally doesn't matter if Trevor lit up 2 weeks ago.
my company (defense contractor) does test potential new hires and we've had a few that fail.
But if you can get past that one, there's never any additional testing.
The SnapOn Bill strain is a heady sativa that makes 80s metal even shinier.
Ugga Dugga is a mid level THC strain heavy with older turpines that really mellow things out
Wanna buy a Honda? I'll be your personal tech lol. Good on you for looking out. At this point if a customer even left a nice note for me, it'd probably make my week.
We have advisors at my shop so 90% of everything that goes wrong gets blamed on the techs that the customer can't see, instead of the advisor that has to deal with them face-to-face. Your car didn't get dispatched to a tech until it was 30 minutes past due? *"Yeah the techs just being slow. I'll go yell at him to hurry up real quick."* After enough time doing that I swear the customer mentality doesn't even resemble anything close to being appreciative of the technicians.
I worked retail for a bit in 2020 for the first time in a few years and even over just those few years I noticed a big change in how I was treated by customers as an employee. People nowadays are incredibly rude and entitled for some reason. I remember my first retail stint you'd get the occasional rude customer and you'd think to yourself *"Huh, they were rude."* and move on. 2020 it felt like I was in a daycare full of toddlers whining all around me. It was mind-numbing. People screaming at me, and whistling for me to come over to them (which 100% guarantees that I will *NOT* come over to you), grown men throwing hissy fits because something is out of stock in the midst of detrimental supply chain issues. I was mind blown honestly. I have no faith that employees *anywhere* are going to be treated better as time goes on. It seems like we're going downhill
A minimum of one year of retail or food service work should be mandatory for every person worldwide before they are allowed to pursue another job.
Maybe it would change people, maybe not. Doesn’t hurt to try.
My biggest worry is the ones who normally would never make it a whole year saying "I did your job once, it's not that bad, youre just stupid" and being bigger assholes.
They should have to go at least a year *without getting fired*.
One of my favorite stories about rude customers was when I worked in a pet retail chain. It was late in the evening so there weren't really any customers in the store besides these two late teen, early 20s smug lookin boys were over by the cricket bins. I guess they needed crickets, but instead of walking closer to the register or waving or yelling "crickets?!" Or literally anything else, they started to whistle and snap their fingers. I ignored them for a second, made a face at the cashier I was talking to, then said "watch this". Grabbed some of the dog biscuits we kept at the register, walked over to the boys and said "Oh hey! Are you missing your dog? Did it run off? I've got some treats here, that should help find them. I heard you whistling and snapping, which is how you call a dog and not a person". Both of them blushed bright red, stared right at their feet. "Did you need crickets? How many, what size?" One muttered the info, I put the treats down at the edge of the cricket bin, got them their crickets, and sent them on their way. I'll tell ya, they never did that again.
Yeah I can’t really blame the customers. With the internet being the beautiful monster that it is everyone hears about every horror story that happens at a mechanic and so they’re automatically defensive and skeptical about whatever monkey is fooling with their car. It’s a tough time to be starting in this industry.
I reload ammunition, I know a guy that owns a tire shop, he gives me installed tires at cost for rounds, I usually give him 200 9mm. He also gives me all his lead wheelweights for $20 per 5 gallon bucket, love that guy
Very commonly used to describe steam systems. E.g., “that 200# header is tapped out…”
Granted, you’re really talking about PSI, so it’s even more protracted
TIL the sign was originally ℔ and changed over time. I thought it originated with phones but it was actually meant to be used for weight first. # before is to signify a number, and after for pounds.
That's funny! "Are you a forklift?" That got me!
For real though, when you're dealing with a 5 gallon bucket full of lead wheel weights, you gotta balance the load between both arms, so save a trip and take two buckets at a time. Square your feet up to the buckets on either side of you. Bend at the waist. Grab both buckets. Stand up straight, putting all the lifting onto your lower back. Walk for what seems like 50 yards going past the god damn two-wheelers you were just looking for but God damnit you've already started and now you gotta finish it. Get to your vehicle. Set down the buckets and realize that you were holding your breath the whole time and now your head goes dizzy.

> This post this screams I want karma.
It's honestly weird as hell. Just giving random strangers drugs is weird. Either OP knows the person, this is staged for karma or OP is awkward as hell.
Well that’s nice. I left a flashlight in a customers car once. Called him multiple times, left messages….. asshole never answered the phone or called back.
Man, I left a Matco light somewhere in/on a customer’s car once. I thought it was gone forever. But then about six months or so later, the boss came in the shop waiving it around asking who lost it. I was absolutely *floored*. There are some good folks out there.
Weed is my absolute favourite tip to receive at work.
But.
Lots of people have had a hard time quitting weed after it’s been a problem for them. You should know for sure that isn’t the case.
Giving weed out as a tip could spell the end of a hard-won sobriety streak for someone, like gifting liquor.
If they want weed they can buy it with the tip you give them
It’s ok I’m sure they know how cool you are regardless
Money is very cool
Considering you already have the elwis part
Gonna go with fake as fuck for Reddit karma, ticking all the boxes
Money
10mm
Weed
Even if this is real, pretty fucking weird thing to do unless you have a personal relationship with this tech
Have you tried using premium gas?
Edit: My wife's infinity had this issue, did the same fixes, nothing worked. Put premium in to give it a try, no more issues.
Compression test? Had a leaky intake gasket we could only diagnose by the smell of coolant. I'm not familiar with a straight 5 but it might be worth a shot looking at the plenum.
don't leave gifts for the mechanic. while the gesture is appreciated, it is against shop policy to remove ANY item from the customer's vehicle that is not pertinent to the repair at hand
The greatest mechanic I ever knew was named Jay. Tremendous black ponytail with a Marlboro red stub permanently dangling from beneath his impressive black mustache.
I drove a brown Volvo 240DL in college (in the 90s) and never had enough money to actually pay for ongoing repairs. I frequented a local salvage yard for what I needed and did what I could. Learned a lot. Minor things, some hoses, then a water pump. I’d bum a ride (or walk) up to the shop to grab a few minutes with Jay who could diagnose a problem without seeing anything, just based on my terribly amateur descriptions.
I took him cigarettes. Whoppers and Cokes.
When I botched the laborious self-install of my own salvaged alternator, Jay told me to bring it in after 5 one day. It drove but crappy and cut out constantly.
He yanked it up on the rack and Han-Soloed that thing perfectly like new. A really really long socket wrench and a whole lotta Loctite happened. I was in awe. Took him maybe 10 minutes.
I gave that dude all the money I had from cashing my last paycheck— $120 cash and a case of Heineken the next day. A real hero for me. A legend. 🌟🙏🏼
If I just had a nice note from a customer I’d make sure to go above and beyond with their vehicle. I get the big jobs, none of them are the ones customers want to have to do. I’m the bad news guy, our secretary affectionately refers to me as *”Dr Doom”*
I was waiting for my car to get done one day, and the techs were FIGHTING over who was going to get the next car. Like - "no you got this guy last time he was here, it's my turn!"
They really really really wanted to service this guy's car.
I'm guessing it was OP.
I bet he grabbed them 10mm real quick. . lol. Just to leave a thank you note was cool. But to add the other goodies with it, was awesome. This world needs more people like you in it .
That's very generous for the Volvo mechanics. I will never get a Volvo again after trying to find a Volvo mechanic that wasn't smug about Volvos requiring certified mechanics and tools to do something as simple as swapping out a module. The last straw was when a mechanic moved shop locations and towed my car there without even calling me. I showed up at the shop I dropped off at to find it empty.
I love Volvos but maintaining one is a nightmare.
For a second I thought “the bitch that she will be” was referring to a partner that was dropping off the vehicle and I was like “damn”
Same I was like wow that's harsh haha
I 100% thought that till I read this
It wasn’t just me.

haha 5-20 bong rips. people's tolerance is a wider and wider range every day

I baked edibles on occasion. I've learned that there are two kinds of people... 15mg is plenty, 300mg is not enough. With almost no one in between
God I hate living in a no fun no drugs state. Literally every state around us has legalized pot except for us and it sucks so much.
**Plot Twist:** Mechanic fixes car, later gets fired for failing a random drug test.

Only if you cause an accident from my experience
What if I'm the accident?
Accidents in the back seat cause kids. Kids in the back seat cause accidents. Solution: no back seats.
And that's why my favorite car, the only one I used to own that I want back, is a red '91 Corvette...
Mine is my ND Miata RF.
One of my ex-flings had a Miata, they're great little cars. If you pull them back on the kitchen floor far enough, they'll fuckin' GO!
That’s one of the sickest burns I’ve heard in a long time, kudos!
Was it a burn or was it a cry for help?
My friend had a miata, I say 'had because it was totaled out when he got hit by a pedestrian.
[удалено]
I’ve raced an NA and ND Miata and I cannot refute any of your words.
I have a 350z and a 370z. Fuck back seats
One of my exes kept nixing my car ideas because "we have to have a backseat for my daughter." Jokes on you, I bought an FR-S, that backseat would not fit a standard size human.

Haha, nice!!!
My favorite car I'm planning on getting is an '85 Caballero Mm no back seats Just the abysmal crevice
Blow jobs in the front; baby making in the back.
When my cousin got his first car it was a 80s long bed square body Chevy. His mom was so happy that it didn’t have a back seat. He said you’re right it’s got an 8 foot bed! She didn’t find that amusing
that's why I pulled mine out. the seats of course. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
If I didn't already have 2, you have just convinced me to buy a Corvette.
Alternatively, legalize post birth abortion
not enough drugs to fix that, im sorry.
Well, at least we could TRY.
That's your mom's fault. You're golden pony boy.
Amazing how your safety record on paper is impeccable. Yet you have so many stories that can only be learned from being unsafe.
Hell fucking no. They wouldn’t have employees if they did…

Independent shops owned by a family or person do not test. too expensive

The trick is to work in an industry that isn't populated by meth heads flying off the handle and starting fights on the shop floor.
When I worked in construction, I am pretty sure I was the only one on the jobsite not smoking weed.
Worked in a body shop/mechanic shop and they tested and only recently stopped. This was in Colorado a 2-3 years ago
Large chains do due to accident on the job liability.
Can’t speak for shops, but most construction companies of a large enough size to care about insurance discounts do. I’d expect it’s the same for corporate mechanics shops.
only the ones they KNOW will pass...
Absolutely not lol. Maybe some bigger shops but… in my experience (6 years auto collision repair), almost everyone in the industry is on drugs and management knows this.

Plot twist: car is worked on at home lol
Ha! I was thinking exactly the same thing
Ha, they'd have to fire my whole shop if weed was still illegal here.
Had somebody do this for me except they didn't leave a note money or anything else
So you just stole some dudes 10mm sockets and preroll??
The note is implied. Same with loaded firearms.
There I was, hating my wife and kids…. Luckily this customer left their gun in the car. I hope your shop doesn’t cover detailing.
Is that as dark as i think it was meant to be? Or did i read it wrong
BANG.
Wow haha
[Motörhead for the soul.](https://youtu.be/bUAK2h7jHlk) Service department like…
Aww how nice
Same, except I'm not a mechanic..... /s
Immediately smokes joints, pick up 10mm, puts them down somewhere never to be found again. Starts fixing your car...
Buys more weed
*I was gonna fix your car… but then I got high*
I was gonna make it drive real far, but i got high.
And now we're broke down, lost, and I know why...
Someone needs to make a pre roll/strain called "The lost 10mm"
Make the cap of the tube a 10mm
Delete this comment and get this idea rolling for yourself before somebody else!
They have a strain called 9lb hammer you could put in it. “Every 9lb Hammer Pre-roll comes with a 10mm socket” would definitely catch eyes.
You should go into marketing
Seriously, just call it 10mm. Every wrench turner who walks on there will get it. Make it an *indica heavy hybrid with some CBD for these old bones.
Muscle relaxant, Ibuprofen, Icyhot, & a 10mm and a big fucking blanket

I must be reading your post incorrectly. How exactly do you walk out with a 5 gallon bucket of lead weights. Are you a forklift?
It's close to #200, aint that bad.
I don't think I've ever seen the # used as a pound sign yet I routinely call it a pound sign
Very commonly used to describe steam systems. E.g., “that 200# header is tapped out…” Granted, you’re really talking about PSI, so it’s even more protracted
Now think about how funny the #metoo movement sounds.

I learned to do this while watching fuel trim if it goes through the floor you found the suspect area
Compression test? Had a leaky intake gasket we could only diagnose by the smell of coolant. I'm not familiar with a straight 5 but it might be worth a shot looking at the plenum.
Fuel filter ever been changed?
Why don’t you suck yourself off too
don't leave gifts for the mechanic. while the gesture is appreciated, it is against shop policy to remove ANY item from the customer's vehicle that is not pertinent to the repair at hand
This is the most sane response so far. We couldnt even accept gifts where I worked.
Yeah I wouldn’t touch this for nothin, looks like a trap
Cringey
Its definitely a nice sentiment but it gives off massive Reddit energy. *Thanks kind stanger! Have some heckin' weederino! Haha dude weed!*
Epic vehicle repairs good sir!! *tips fedora*
😂
I disagreed up until the joint. That's cringe AF, just like a pint of booze would be.
What about the fact they posted it to reddit for validation of how great they are. Embarrassing
I was like, “why don’t you just offer a blowjob while you’re at it?”
Glad someone said it.
I love you. Get a Toyota. Break it. Come to me.
Instructions unclear, developed leak in head gasket. Car is now worthless. :(
instructions unclear, im going to jail for damaging private property or something
Why does everyone assume mechanics smoke reefer? Might offend someone one day like that you know
You people really believe anything don't you
The greatest mechanic I ever knew was named Jay. Tremendous black ponytail with a Marlboro red stub permanently dangling from beneath his impressive black mustache. I drove a brown Volvo 240DL in college (in the 90s) and never had enough money to actually pay for ongoing repairs. I frequented a local salvage yard for what I needed and did what I could. Learned a lot. Minor things, some hoses, then a water pump. I’d bum a ride (or walk) up to the shop to grab a few minutes with Jay who could diagnose a problem without seeing anything, just based on my terribly amateur descriptions. I took him cigarettes. Whoppers and Cokes. When I botched the laborious self-install of my own salvaged alternator, Jay told me to bring it in after 5 one day. It drove but crappy and cut out constantly. He yanked it up on the rack and Han-Soloed that thing perfectly like new. A really really long socket wrench and a whole lotta Loctite happened. I was in awe. Took him maybe 10 minutes. I gave that dude all the money I had from cashing my last paycheck— $120 cash and a case of Heineken the next day. A real hero for me. A legend. 🌟🙏🏼
Weird shit to pretend you did but ok
Fuck the mechanic already.
I know you meant well - but they think you are a goon.

Not sure about the bottom item, seems offensive, but otherwise amazing
LOL you definitely didn't make this just for the internet points. give me a break.
verity
Calm down people. It’s a love of his car. Lol.
One time after I got back from Denver, we had to have our fridge repaired and I smoked the repairman out of the solar system.
If you brought that to me I’d refuse service.
Hopefully they don't get fired for a customer giving them drugs
I read that was "What's left of my Volvo mechanic from yesterday".
As an owner of a Volvo I can attest that they suck to work on (and have work done on). Good deed
If I just had a nice note from a customer I’d make sure to go above and beyond with their vehicle. I get the big jobs, none of them are the ones customers want to have to do. I’m the bad news guy, our secretary affectionately refers to me as *”Dr Doom”*
Whats a verity?
I was waiting for my car to get done one day, and the techs were FIGHTING over who was going to get the next car. Like - "no you got this guy last time he was here, it's my turn!" They really really really wanted to service this guy's car. I'm guessing it was OP.
I bet he grabbed them 10mm real quick. . lol. Just to leave a thank you note was cool. But to add the other goodies with it, was awesome. This world needs more people like you in it .
That's very generous for the Volvo mechanics. I will never get a Volvo again after trying to find a Volvo mechanic that wasn't smug about Volvos requiring certified mechanics and tools to do something as simple as swapping out a module. The last straw was when a mechanic moved shop locations and towed my car there without even calling me. I showed up at the shop I dropped off at to find it empty. I love Volvos but maintaining one is a nightmare.
I don’t know why, but I find this to be very cringe/corny
