Things that people who never work night shift dont understand...

if i come home from an 8 hour shift at the hospital at 6am in the morning. i sometimes feel like having a beer or a wine to relax... but people see you on your balcony in the morning with a beer and everyone thinks you are a weirdo

I've worked 3rd shift my entire life, minus a few years. In addition to being thought of as an alcoholic (case of beer and cribbage after work with the boys), my favorite is the idea that for some reason, I NEED to go to bed after working all night, as soon as I get home. I turn to my non-third-shifter friends and ask them if they go to bed after work, soon as THEY get home. No? Why not? 😋

@GwydionFrost yeah and they come ring your door at noon and call you a sleepy head... hell even if i went to bed right when i come home thats way to early to visit me for some shit.

i started calling them in the middle of the night

@AngelofFail I disabled my doorbell because of that and my landlord had a fit. I told him next time I have an issue with the apartment I would wake his ass up at 2am to fix it. He muttered under his breath and left it alone LOL
