I had a short stint as working in a tool shop for a large landscaping company. I took of the blades of the mowers and sharpened them. Cleaned the tools, packed their field teams trucks ect.
The office manager was gay and kept flirting (but not hitting on ) most ot the guys there self included. The ops manager would buy a case of bud light (yuck) every friday afternoon to celebrate the weekend after work.
The crews argued with each other over tools all the time and did crazy stuff to some of the nice equipment because they were bored. for example one guy bunny hopped a riding lawn mower off the back of he trailer instead of riding it down the ramp.
There was a few teams of Mexicans who hated working with white people (were racists) and really open about it. The owners of the company were white.
I really was (still not) mechanically inclined and probably wasn't the best person for that job.
the company made a lot of money---but it was such a crazy place. I was there less than a year and it was a really really long time ago.
