lmfao,no i had some one peeing in the bushes next to my garage one time i had a few freinds over, and the lady across the steeet called the cops
One day last summer while working on my coupe in my garage, there was a few individuals in attendence and my neighbor across the street, Young Steven, told his older brother "dude, no sandles in the garage". We stopped as young Stevens older brother replied "why, cuz my toes might get smashed" & Young Steven said "No cuz sandles are gay!" So I guess that's the only rule I have, oh yeah "no mercy" is allowed either due to my affiliation w/the Cobra Kai. Sincerely, Cheatercarl
Glad to see I'm not the only one who feels this way. I prefer nobody in my shop that I don't know. Usually my dog won't let you in anyways until I call him off. If someone does decide to come back and try to rip me off then they will have to deal with my dog on their own... Good Luck! Also, clean the tools, leave them on the bench and have a good time are rules to live by. CTJ.
Come on over. 1. bring beer if your want. I don't drink. 2. Eat anything in the frig... if you are brave 3. Use whatever tools you need 4. If you need to pee do it in the side yard.
As you can see there is no Roberts Rules of Order or written etiquette for visiting at the garage. Rule#1 I always ask before doing ANYTHING. If we are working on stuff for my ride I want to leave the garage cleaner than when I walked in. If I'm offered a soda pop and accept, I'll bring a six pack of what ever was in there this time when I return. If I'm there to lend a hand a soda pop is not too much to ask. The golden rule applies here. I hate to have to keep score with true friends but I think most people can sense when favors get out of balance. So go out of your way to level the seesaw if you've been doing all the taking. When I had my shop I could repay a lot of favors. I can't do that much anymore and often feel guilty.
It all depends on who is comin over.. If your new to the shop. Bring lots of booze and cigs for after work Do not touch any of the ride,s PUT TOOLS BACK WERE YOU GOT THEM!!! Use the trash can and ash trays and no tweekers
1. Its my garage, dont judge how I do things unless you wanna do it better (JOE) 2. beer is out in the snow 3. pee out and around corner of the garage 4. Dont pee in or around where THE BEER IS BURIED!! 5. Put tools back in the box where they belong 6. dont bring strangers 7. If your standing around you must be willing to refill the heater or hand me tools
Show up on time but don't be ready to work. If you're gonna bring coffee for all of us, leave it black and have sugar/creme on the side. Bring beer in a can...we prefer PBR or Bud Light. Leave the Nasty Light or Beast at your house! Don't tell me crazy stories about how you once cooked a woodpecker over a cigarette lighter. Don't use our torch unless you paid for the gas. Don't bring your project over to our shop when we pre-planned to work on mine. Since we don't have plumbing, take a dump before you come to the shop or you'll have to step out into the woods and learn to wear your shoes with only one sock. Once the sun goes down, we're leaving and so should you.
Pretty simple here, No smoking, No alcohol, No Strangers. And don't F$ck with the settings on my welders. And if the B.S. alarm goes off prepare for the ripping to ensue.
I know what you mean. I don't care to have anybody hanging around at my shop. Small talk is a waste of time. Bring a pay job over or don't come over. I've made this very clear to people over the years. I guess I've always been a loner. P.S. anyone that tries to fu*k my dog gets a free burial plot out in the woods! JC
Don't tell me crazy stories about how you once cooked a woodpecker over a cigarette lighter.

1. Call before you come over unless you know the dog really well. 2. I quit smoking and expect you to do the same when you are in my shop. 3. Don't touch anything unless you know the dog really well. 4. Don't mess with the dog.
I do'nt hang with Guys I do'nt trust around my shop, tools or (dog, in this area it would be some guys from Lincoln co.) other than that the beer and pop is in the fridge. As far as the B.S. I have 1 friend that I have to call all the time. " I'm calling you on that and I'm calling you a LIAR " but life is good.
1.If you use my tools, clean them after, and put them back where you got them. 2.No open toed shoes. 3.If you want some beer, bring some beer. 4. If I want some beer, bring some beer. 5. don't touch anything thats shiny.
garage? i have a home-made shop/shed i built out of steel channel and corrugated where i lock stuff up, but the "garage" is the hidden part of the driveway. very FEW people see it. keeps the likelihood of cars/parts/tools going "missing" on me. yeah, CARS. we got some seriously intent thieves around here..... and i don't work on cars i don't own. don't ask me too, either, you can't pay me to fuck with shit i ain't interested in personally.
1. Dont bring a screwdriver near any of my carburetors. If they werent already in perfect tune, I would be working on them and not BS'ing with you. 2. The floor drain is much closer than the toilet so piss in it. 3. If you are new, the more you rip into us and talk shit, the more we will like you. If someone tells you that their last bowel movement is a better welder than you, snap back with something wittier or be prepared for it to get only worse. 4. I dont believe that your car/pickup is quicker or faster than mine. Be prepared to wait till 3am and line up on the highway when there is no traffic. On the outside chance that I lose, we WILL be going 2 out of 3. 5. You are most likely surrounded by chevy people. Please feel free to not tell us something that we know is untrue, or some other tidbit of information that you once heard because we will tell you the truth and you may get butt-hurt. (I was once "informed" that ford invented the SBC but they said it was a piece of shit so they threw it away and chevy found it in their garbage. Oh, and this dumpster diving incident occurred in the early 60's. The story teller was COMPLETELY convinced that it was the truth, and that we were idiots for not agreeing.) 6. If this is your first night at fight club, you have to fight.
#1 no smoking #2 no saying "ratrod" in MY shop. i HATE that fucking term! #3 you WILL pee out side. i have no indoor plumbing. if you need to take a shit, bring your own shovel
Years ago I had a buddy come & use my shop & welder to fix a torsion bar crossmember in his daily. Second thing he said to me was, "this would be a nice shop if it were cleaned up". Needless to say that was the first & last time he set foot in my shop.
1. only come into my sop if you were invited by me 2. don't bring your kids, I won't censor myself for thier benefit 3. don't use my 6 year old's workbench ( especially to sit on) or anything out of his toolbox
I have a very simple sign on the door.... NO YUPPIES NO POSERS I don't like people coming to 'help', winds up being a bullshit fest just about everytime. And I really hate the 'been there...done that' crowd, again most of the time they're full of shit. And I don't like bad language around the kids......
Since I really dont have any friends i dont have to worry about it.. But ... 1. pitch in on beer 2. watch for kids 3. I help you you help me 4. you get hurt it didnt happen here
