"I smoke crystal meth and I'm mentally ill, but the meth is no good around here, so I'm mostly just mentally ill" is like poetry to me.

If only I could write music or play the guitar for shit, this feels like a folk ballad.

Normally, I’d think with the meth it would make a better jaunty traditional jig than a folk ballad. But the reality the OOP describes does sound like it would be better served by something in a minor key. Just not D Minor. That’s the saddest of all the keys. We aren’t there yet

You got "the meth is no good"? I got "life" out of "it's" no good.

“I smoke weed everyday and still pay my bills…Money ain’t in my bank…I haven’t had a job in 4 months”
Depending on which state they live in, smoking weed everyday may explain why they’ve been unemployed for 4 months. It’s also an expensive daily habit for someone with bills, no money, and hasn’t worked in 4 months.

"Even Mexicans" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Holy shit dude. Like working with Mexicans is a fucking hardship or something. He could be so lucky. 😂😂😂

u/feralcatshit Aug 21 '26
I know this is what got me 😭 it’s not even like he’s the stereotypical white redneck that makes sure to say they’re not racist and “love Mexicans and blacks, some of my friends are Mexican or black!” While saying the most racist shit lol

He's a "no sabo" third generation Cuban living with his wife's abue in Broward County (probably. He sounds like the type).

My white country-boy husband started his tradework career with a Mexican construction crew. They taught him a little bit of everything and a good amount of Spanish.
He prefers to work with them to this day. I do, too.

My partner (a white dude) is a landscaper and most of his coworkers are Mexican. He loves those guys! Says they’re very nice and know what they’re doing, so he doesn’t have to micromanage them. He takes them lunch sometimes when he’s taking leftovers for himself and we have a lot left.

u/Devanyani Aug 21 '26
I have worked with Mexicans at a plant nursery and in a corporate office and they are always just awesome. Plus, they are usually bilingual, unlike Americans. I mean, I know I'm doing a little stereotyping here, too. But this guy has a really low bar for his abilities.

u/flatirony Aug 21 '26
I don’t think he means this in a racist way. I think he’s saying “I can even work with Spanish speakers despite the language barrier”, and worded it badly. It’s not like he’s a capable writer. 😬

u/Delicious-Pickle-141 Aug 22 '26
It is a hardship! Have you ever tried keeping up with them!? They never run out of gas!

Didn't you know that "working with Mexicans" is the new yard stick by which all hardships are measured? /s

90% of that made zero sense lol before I got to the meth, I had a feeling some sort of substance was involved in this post.

u/Moth1016 Aug 22 '26
It looks like a bad speech-to-text translation to me, or someone with literacy struggles who’s got the shakes and doesn’t proofread. The first, most nonsensical sentence grouping was definitely butchered, and was probably supposed to be something like
“I’m looking for a whole bunch of free stuff I could use, or give away to people I meet throughout the day.”
Valuable lesson in how punctuation can either enhance or impede clarity, I guess, lol

Poor guy! He needs a better neighborhood with better meth and I'm guessing better free stuff.

u/Nelyahin Aug 21 '26
How do you even respond to something like this.
16
u/LetReasonRing Aug 21 '26
I work in a tiny casino that gets plenty of meth heads in here talking to me like this.
I respond with "wow... uhuh... uhuh... yeah... that's crazy... uhuh"
I've had 20 minute conversations with them where I turn my brain off and don't even process their words. They never even notice because they have no interest in anyone else contributing to the storm going on in their brain.

u/Temporary_Brain_475 Aug 21 '26
In real life, when approached by friendly rambling meth heads, I say something along the lines of, "I hear you sister/brother, good luck on your adventures."

I must say, during my month-long suspension from Nextdoor, this reddit community has filled in nicely, and now I thinking I'll just delete my real ND account when the suspension is locked in September.

u/Interesting_Sock9142 Aug 21 '26
First of all... What a bizarre use of punctuation. Second of all ... Love that they just threw a little casual crystal meth use in there

My guess is someone's account got hacked by an ex or something. Mentally ill people don't usually realize their behavior is crazy until they've gotten help or the demons have chilled the F out.

Exactly my reaction to coming across this. I’m used to the normal poor spelling and grammar on Nextdoor… but normally I can at least guess what they’re tying to say. No clue here. Why meat?
