We live in a very rural, incredibly safe area. You can always tell when someone else gets hooked on meth. Their place goes to shit, step 1. Their kids get dirty, step 2. You start to see things like car batteries or tools disappear from nearby farms, step 3. They die or go to jail after trying to steal something big, like electric lines or even train rails in one instance, step 4.

At least with heroine, they tend to just keep to themselves. Meth makes sure they have the energy and drive to really fuck with other people.

My apartment was broken into once and I knew it was a meth head because they color coordinated my closet before they left. Turned out to be someone I knew (on meth)

[onemoresoop]

What do you mean by color coordinated the closet?

[j-bos]

Not op, but meth is like, amphetamines the thing that drives people to do boring pointless work, like organizing clothes by color.

[onemoresoop]

Thanks for the info, I had no idea about this meth behavior.

[Insanity]

+1, and how does that relate to meth?

[cjbgkagh]

It’s a cluster of behaviors, like excessively brushing their teeth. "just meth things" is a meme referring to these behaviors.

[onemoresoop]

>excessively brushing their teeth Is that in spite of why their teeth decay so badly?

[cjbgkagh]

The brushing doesn’t help. The teeth decay is from lack of saliva.

I think it’s more because it’s a simple task that feels productive. It satiates the desire to be doing something without introducing the added frustration of failing at a more complex task.

In the way that meth is kind of like Adderall for addicts.

I lived in an apartment for a while and the upstairs neighbor decided to get addicted to meth and vacuum their floor every 30 minutes for a few days, both day and night.

This reads like one of those jokes about "my car is so bad that when someone crashed into it they caused thousands of dollars of improvements".
