Just got in and sat down at 10:20PM after another 12 hour day (let's hope only 12 hours). Friday my day started at 4:30AM and ended at 12:30 AM. (that was after getting an hour and a half sleep the night before, for much the same reason.) Anywhoooooo.....

Just got notification on on my work phone. This is a student's complaint: "The door remains locked at all times unless you have a key, so you need it every time you leave the room even going to the bathroom, it's a bit exhausting."

I'm so fighting the urge to call him and ask just how big and heavy this key is?

I am reminded me of Richard Dawson playing Damon Killian in The Running Man.

“Just give them an evasive answer. Tell them to go fuck themselves.”

So have the key with you? Goddamn, these retards think doors just need to flop open for them? How easy is your life, that having to use a key is a hardship? Tell them to kill themselves, I mean it. Unlocking a door is "exhausting"? Alt+F4 your stupid ass.

I’m having trouble with his ridiculously inarticulate complaint.

“The door remains locked at all times unless you have a key.”

So if he has a key, the door doesn’t remain locked?

Does anyone speak English anymore?

What he has written stands on his own.


The other wrinkle is, based on experience there's a 40% chance what he says is accurate.
And a 60% chance he's an idiot and just don't know how to leave the door unlocked.

What’s exhausting? Carrying the key or going to the bathroom?

Trying to decide their daily gender identity to select the appropriate bathroom?

And I bet sissy boy will be the first to complain if the doors don't remain locked and his Xbox and Playstation and stash of playgirl get stolen when he went out for "30 seconds down the hall" to sit to take a piss.

I just saw one come in…

Details: “Door is hard to close, creating a loud ruckus.”

Well piss out the window and save some steps. Dur dur dur!

Is there such a thing as a quiet ruckus?

I’d give points for just using the word “ruckus”. I believe my grandfather would be the only person I’ve ever heard use the word and he’s been dead for 30+ years.

Tell the first snowflake the key will be lighter if he lets it sit in a bucket of steam for 10 minutes, freshman get one free bucket, and give him the address for the campus’ plant operations.

Edited to add:
I stand corrected. I’ve seen The Breakfast Club several times and must have heard the word “ruckus” there as well.

Words have meaning. People who make their living using words, should know the meaning of the words they use…

That thread title made me think of this one. I say that often to people at work, "it's as if they know the words, but they don't know what they mean". "Door is extremely difficult to open." By "extremely difficult", do you mean ever so slightly harder to push than the five other doors in the apartment? Because that's what it is... MAYBE.

Thought of you while listening to our daughter’s 29YO friend describing her issues with her 30-day house rental in Gulf Shores.

Apparently she had signs of a mouse, some nibbles out of a potato and avocado on counter overnight. She contacted owner for remedy but emphasized she did not want the precious little mouse harmed.

Exterminator who showed up to place glue traps assured her that they had a solvent to release the glue and would take mouse back to shop and turn him loose.

^^^^^^^^ Sounds like this post also needs to be added to the “Tidbits that tell you someone is stupid…” thread!

Doors are locked for a reason . You might not agree with that reason and it may be inconvenient but that's just the way it is sometimes . It's not about how this person chose to express himself , but rather how difficult it seems to be to deal with everyday life .
