Life High Customers? - Page 4

El Jefe · 02:27 PM

Update: To whom it may concern. The customer that was the subject of this thread did come back today, and seemed to not be under the influence of a controlled substance. Interesting enough, I had a customer earlier this morning pay for his car and he was high as a kite, and paid his $1600 dollar bill all in 20's which he handed to me wrapped in a rubber band. How cliche is that?

Recently at the Shop that I work at, we have had the pleasure of dealing with many customers stinking of marijuana. Well this afternoon, an Impala pulls up in front of our first bay, windows all tinted out, and it sits there for about 5-10 minutes. Well I go to get an order on a vehicle and the person rolls the window down accompanied by billows and billows of marijuana smoke rolling straight down my nasal passages, so much so I thought I was going to suffocate. Well he asks if we give free transmission checks and I say we do, and he says "ok I will take one of those", he was obviously either not to smart or just a little to under the influence. Well I tell him I need to see if I have someone to test drive it, and I did not at that particular time. So I go back out to him and he rolls the window down, and thats when he shocked me, he actually just started smoking the blunt right in front of me and blowing his smoke pretty much straight into my face. So I told him he could stop by in the morning and we could spin it.

Well in my situation, what would you have done (all in hypotheticals). My brother says "oh you shouldn't let them smoke weed in the parking lot", but how was I too know what they were doing if I couldn't see them? Should I of called the police when I became aware of their use of a controlled substance. Personally I said no, because I really would fear the reprocussions of this in the area we are located. Boy oh boy did I inhale a lot of that smoke, my head is pounding. It was really unbelieveable. Usually you find weed pieces scattered throughout customers cars but never have they been so blunt as to demonstrate the proper way to smoke marijuana.

Nothing wrong with getting high, but don't do it behind the wheel.

Why didnt you get in the passenger seat and ask for a couple of puffs... it probably would have made your day a bit less stressful.

That said, I am crazy. I'm completely nucking futz, but it has nothing to do with my attitude towards DUI/DWI.

5 years in prison for 2nd offense? Like the prisons aren't already overcrowded with pot offenders. Yes, you're crazy. Ignorant too.

Driving drunk is just too big of a gamble. I'm aware that plenty of people claim to be "good" at it, and for all I know, maybe they are. But it still doesn't make any sense to risk a potentially life threatening disaster just so you can get some Sonic.

More to the point, however, I really don't think that pot smokers are all that dangerous behind the wheel. I've never done it, but I've seen countless numbers of friends get high, and they are WAY more coordinated and focused than when they are drunk. Probably even more so than I am when I'm tired. And I actually drive when I'm tired quite a bit, which I know is dangerous.

Crazy? Yes. Ignorant?

Personally, I'm for treating pot (and pretty much any other intoxicant) like alcohol.

I simply have no tolerance for idiots who climb behind the wheel when they are drunk or high. F**k 'em.

And if you're dumb enough to climb behind the wheel drunk or high, f**k you.

I don't agree with his thought processes either, but our conflicting sense of right, and wrong, does not make him a dumb****.

His past experiences make it impossible to look at it from an unbiased prospective, and if it like I think it is, I don't really blame him at all.

I don't have much tolerance for ridiculous statements.

I'll agree that it was a ridiculous view of justice, but you have to admit, that it's a beautiful thing, that he has just as much right to be an intolerant asshole, as you do.

I'd have asked him to pass me the blunt.
