You watch your boomer parents make a big stink out of every minor inconvenience and then you grow up and it swings too far the other way and you don't want to be a bother.

I'd say they need to clean up that room but it might not matter in a day or two.

glynnenstein posted:DC loves to write parking tickets - well over a million every year. It's wild. This anecdote is about 8 years old now, but DC used to allow tour buses to park for free along the perimeter of Potomac Park, and dozens would. This was a perfect setup as it was pretty close to the various monuments / museums that don't allow parking in the loading zones, was out of general traffic flow, and not anywhere near anything sensitive. A group get dropped off, do their thing for 2 hours, then call their driver up when they were ready for pickup. You could usually get to wherever they were in the National Mall in about 15 minutes. DC then decided that they didn't want buses parking there anymore. Bus parking was to be at RFK Stadium, which takes about hour to drive to from the National Mall. The thing is, once you got there, it was already time to head back to wherever your group needed you to pick them up. So the other option besides parking was to just drive an empty bus in circles around the Mall, over and over in almost gridlock traffic, for a couple hours. I should add that the tours I drove didn't just have one bus, but multiple between 2-4. If DC wants to gently caress the drivers, the drivers can gently caress them right back. 5er posted:The young Navy fella in old me is glad to have that poo poo behind me. Well that's just common courtesy

Also, because when you have a lot of small flammable things together and they happen to catch on fire, the fire gets very excited about getting to ignite a lot of things all at once. Here's some folks basically making a bomb out of two bags of flower and a lovely bottle rocket that's based on the same principle.

A group get dropped off, do their thing for 2 hours, then call their driver up when they were ready for pickup. You could usually get to wherever they were in the National Mall in about 15 minutes. The one and only time I was on a chartered bus to DC, the bus company sucked and the initial bus broke down, and a replacement was sent to pick us all up. On the drive (philly to DC) the driver informs us that rather than dropping us near the national mall as contracted/expected, because the bus being driven didn't have a permit to enter DC city limits, (despite the fact that the bus that did have a permit was not going to DC) we would instead be dropped off at a metro station in VA, and have to ride the remainder of the way in, then meet the bus at that station at the end of the day to return home. That bus never started at the end of the day, and we all waited 4 hours afterward waiting on a third bus that never materialized before we all left for a hotel to crash for the night to return in the morning. gently caress busses, take amtrak. At least that poo poo runs because of Biden, or something.

Paper soaked in gasoline also has a lot of fibers and surface area to wick gasoline out into the air, compared to logs or whatever other stupid poo poo people soak in gasoline and light on fire, and the gas soaked paper isn't going to be polite and stay in one place once the WHUUUUMF starts

The Engineer Trilogy by KJ Parker has a scene where a military operation goes to hell because someone set a stash of flour on fire. I fuckin loved those books.

Well now I have an OSHA story. We're getting some ducting run up the driveway. The contractors did a plan. It was all good. They came and installed it two weeks ahead of schedule. Awesome! Things are going great. ... and then They were using a trenching machine to cut down 200mm into the soil. Most cables are buried lower than that, except, on the last metre of the cut when they discovered that back when some of the other cables were laid there was a splice which wasn't dug down as deeply as some of the other cables. Turns out it's the 400V power cable for three of the houses. A tiny puff of smoke later ... Power company came to disconnect the power. But all the fuses are mislabeled. When the place was sub-divided they had a few different numbering schemes. One numbering scheme is used for mail. One is used for the council. One is used for the power company fuses. Then the electrician came to mend the cable. He pulled, and pulled. There was an extra metre of cable down there in a gigantic loop, which he chopped out and spliced. Then buried again. Now all the fuses are labeled the same way as for mail delivery. And we have a slightly shorter but deeper power cable under the driveway. Nobody died.
