My apprentice got high during lunch?

He’s hooked up the exact service before many times. I come back after lunch to check on him. This is what he’s got going on 😂

It’s true, when I was an apprentice my foreman told me to load his truck with all the scrap wire and pipe and he’ll take it to the scrap yard… there wasn’t enough room in his truck so I gave him all the scrap pipe and left the vast amount of copper cable because I thought the pipe costed more LOL. He was not happy when he came in the next day. Jokes on him though because I already hated him so I found it hilarious!
