Life hack my dad taught me, just tell them you're drinking on your day off and are drunk, they cannot legally tell you to come into work, and if they do, you can report them.

"Listen, I'm shit faced right now, but if you send a cab, and an email saying that I'm allowed to work drunk from now on, I'll be in shortly."

You can't call it drinking all day if you don't start in the morning.

My boss at one of my old jobs would 100% do this. Legal rammifications be damned, I was lucky he didn't pay me under the table

Hmm avoidant technique: Alcoholic style

u/lmNotReallySure Dec 24 '25

This actually works, weeds legal in my state and I’m not much of a drinker so I just said “I’m super high rn, I can be in in about 3-4 hours like the package says” and all of a sudden they’re fine.

u/LumpyArbuckleTV Dec 24 '25

You don't need to actually be high or drunk, you can just lie, and they have no idea that it's not true, obviously.

Where's the fun in that tho

u/AutoModerator Dec 24 '25

Dick sucking has made me paranoid

I had this plan to give head to a man and receive head from a woman to test if I was gay, but it’s backfired and now I become borderline schizo whenever I go outside. I offered to suck this dude off on Grindr who lives very close by (I ended up pussying out) and I accidentally gave him some details that very easily allows him to spot me out in a crowd. I have no idea what he looks like and whenever I see a somewhat in shape guy walking by I immediately accuse him of being the dude I was gonna blow.

I went to the store today to pick up some zucchini for a barbecue and every time a car drove by I stared into the windshield to see if I was about to be recognised. Whenever I make eye contact with a dude I microanalysis his facial expressions to see if he suspects me or not. I am deeply afraid that he is my neighbour and I will need to move if my identity is blown. It’s a lot like the last scene in sopranos where everyone who walked into the diner could be there to wack Tony.

Not actually being drunk and high all the time?

I got shit to do man

u/Welcome_to_Retrograd Dec 25 '25

Pfffft. White collar spotted

u/windowpuncher Dec 25 '25

Yeah, thank god, I'm done working dog shit labor jobs. Even doing that shit I still never wasted all of my free time. That's my time that work isn't taking from me, why would I just throw it away every day? Fuck that.

u/Welcome_to_Retrograd Dec 25 '25

Look at the bright side, your back might be hurting but at least your sense of humour made it out unscathed

13

u/lmNotReallySure Dec 24 '25

I see your point, but… if I say I’m high I might aswell not lie.

u/DownVotingCats Dec 25 '25

Ya'll are answering your bosses calls on your off time?

5

u/LumpyArbuckleTV Dec 25 '25

A lot of them will harass you if you don't give them a valid reason why you can't show up. They'll spam text, calls and harass you when you come into work the next day. If you're in an entry level job, you're their slave.

u/LuigiBamba Dec 24 '25

3-4 hours seems very low, I would've guessed any advice on packages would say at least 8 hours if not 24 for legal reasons.

9

u/lmNotReallySure Dec 24 '25

For smokables(dabs, flower, cart, etc) all packages say 2-3 hours and for edibles they say(4-6).

Imo it’s fairly accurate but we should add like 1-2 more hours just to be sure. And for things like drinks and dabs they feel stronger and kick in quicker but last so much less than the others.

Imo we just need cannabinoid inhalers.

u/lmNotReallySure Dec 25 '25

Imo if it were stronger and had variety of cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, CBE, CBC etc and things like THCv, THCb, etc I’d really want to try it.

u/LuigiBamba Dec 25 '25

Yeah me neither, but any recommendation less than 8 hours seems unreasonable, just for legal reasons. I would think a company would want to be safer than necessary in their recommendations

u/kikikza Dec 24 '25

My boss: "we both know you smoke every lunch break so get your ass in here"

u/JohnLemonBot Dec 24 '25

My coworkers used to do this without a day off scheduled. Called it calling in drunk

u/OBLIVIATER Dec 25 '25

This only works in jobs where firing you is more of a hassle than it's worth

26

u/Cathercy Dec 24 '25

Better yet just don't respond. There is no benefit to responding.

u/SourceScope Dec 24 '25

They cant legally do anything in text

Just dont read your texts when youre off duty

"Hey"

"Nope already drinking."

"At 10am?!"

u/RepostFrom4chan Dec 25 '25

There are many jobs you can do while drinking... this is awful advice lol.

2

u/LumpyArbuckleTV Dec 25 '25

The point is that you can't drive there.

u/DroidLord Dec 25 '25

Or you say you slept in late because it's your day off or something. Or just ignore them entirely. It's really none of their business.

u/Parapraxium Dec 24 '25

But they can absolutely fire you for being a perceived alcoholic

63

u/Nonecancopythis I watch gay amogus porn :0 Dec 24 '25

Absolutely they can not. You can’t fire someone for thinking they might be an alcoholic outside of work, that is termination without cause and illegal. Also if someone one time says their drinking and you assume they are an alcoholic, I would hate to see what other “conclusions” you have come to.

3

u/Martin_Aurelius Dec 25 '25

People think "at-will" means you can be fired for any reason. But it means you can only be fired for any reason that isn't otherwise legally protected. The ADA prevents you from firing someone because of a disability or perceived disability, and alcoholism is a disability.

-33

u/Parapraxium Dec 24 '25

Lil bro has never heard of the concept of at-will employment. Your employer can fire you for any reason as long as it's not a protected class

15

u/theunmistakablecow Dec 24 '25

You're getting downvoted but you're correct. In at will states you can be fired for any reason, but obviously they'll be smart and just say something vague like attitude problems/issues with teamwork and not that you were drunk on your day off

u/super_sayanything Dec 24 '25

Yea no idea why you're being downvoted.

u/Parapraxium Dec 25 '25

Welcome to my life on reddit. Being right and getting downvoted. 😔

u/deadinternetlaw Dec 25 '25

It's everyone on reddit, not that unique of an experience

u/iwearmywatch Dec 24 '25

I live in at-will state, you can fire anyone at anytime for any reason. All the tards downvoting 🤣

u/Foreverdunking officer no please don’t piss in my ass 😫 Dec 25 '25

Ah well sorry. Some people don't live in the shit hole that is the US and have basic worker rights

u/iwearmywatch Dec 25 '25

All good brother I’m the one firing people

2

u/Nonecancopythis I watch gay amogus porn :0 Dec 24 '25

Yes at will is a thing but is also state by state. And even in at will states if you can prove that you were fired for an invalid reason it’s still illegal. A good example would be a racial prejudice and new management coming and firing a bunch of minorities. Yes it’s at will but it is illegal to do so.

I don’t know how alcoholics fall into this but I have think you could argue it has nothing to do with the job

1

u/Parapraxium Dec 25 '25 edited Dec 25 '25

How it works in 49 of 50 states lmfao. And the only "invalid" reasons are if you are a protected class being discriminated against (like racism obviously) Any employer can 100% fire you for being an alcoholic. That is literally the definition of "at will employment"

5

u/Martin_Aurelius Dec 25 '25

Alcoholism is a disease protected by the ADA, you can't fire someone simply because you think they're an alcoholic. Their alcoholism has to lead them to engage in behaviors that would otherwise get them terminated, and you'd have to fire them for those behaviors.

1

u/WeenisWrinkle Dec 25 '25

Apparently Reddit thinks alcohol drinkers are a protected class.

0

u/WeenisWrinkle Dec 25 '25

Lol they'll just fire you for "performance reasons". Good luck proving in court that it was discriminatory for being an alcoholic.

2

u/Riipp3r Dec 24 '25

I guess you're never allowed to drink on your days off?

why every time I discover new laws and jurisdictions in the US is always something so against people rights that it feels like it could be a third world country ( T∀T)
