I often struggle
Yeah but if they said don’t drive then people would have an excuse to call off of work or ask for working from home, and we can’t let that happen. People still need to work and do it in the office regardless of how dangerous it is for them to do it.
Yes. But i think the confusion is intentional. In car-dependent societies, not driving is the same as not working, not shopping, and not seeing friends.
Yeah I never think of cars, I thought it was more like industrial stuff
I think of all the stuff around my house. The car is a bug one, but also my mitre saw, table saw, and any other powered saw. Also my ladder, mandolin (the kitchen one, not the instrument), and large knives. The things I need to be sober to use safely.
There’s also “light machinery”, which i can use when i’m less than sober but not super messed up on anything. My lawn mower is a push mower for example, so as long as i’m good to walk I can mow the lawn safely. Using a drill/driver is fine. Sanding, even the electric sander, is fine. Soldering is fine. I might have a drink or two and work on my server, either hardware of software, but I have learned to stop if I get too drunk. One of the most important parts of enjoying marijuana is learning how to make food while high.
Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a great time to use your mandolin (the instrument, not the kitchen one)
Obligatory Forklift Driver Klaus
Should be noted that it’s a PSA that is (or at least was) actually used in training
Yeah it’s a real training video - in fact I think it’s been used outside of Germany also (there may even be an English dub somewhere, but I suspect it’s been copyright struck off). Tbh the comedy makes it much more effective, if anything. People tend to zone out by the end of these videos normally.
Get your shit together, Klaus
It includes all those things, no?
It does. Vehicles, forklifts, cranes… If you could reasonably steer it over a person you wouldn’t want to do so on certain medications.
My mind goes literaly to “don’t operate the finger choppy things”
Which finger choppy things do you have in mind?
All of them.
EDIT: I’m sorry, work equipment. Like the ones that bend tin, or grind plastic.
They mean driving?
It doesn’t even have to be driving, forklift does apply, but so does a crane (a lot of factories have gantry cranes for moving stuff), or even operating machines that require your attention like manual lathe or presses.
A car is just most common, and most likely to cause harm out of those if you get dizzy, but you can still hurt yourself with plenty of other machines if you’re inattentive, sleepy or dizzy.No. Cars are heavy and made of machinery. So is a forklift or a wrecking ball or crane. So if I’m blotto on the goof-juice, not trying to control that sort of thing seems like a good idea.
I find it funny that the med that makes me comfortable driving is the one with that warning lol
Also, I live in heavy machinery soooooo
Like schipelblorp says. Plus it essentially means don’t work with heavy machinery, and if you do and get injured, you’re not likely to be able to sue employer or machinery company successfully as you were mentally compromised. And you can’t sue the pharmaceutical company as you were warned.
I just had to do an entire learning module about this at work actually. They absolutely do mean cars.
