Update: our partner company gave me a 3M quick latch respirator that fits much better, and extra small goggles that don't leave gaps around my eyes. I also bought a little wearable mic and speaker like tour guides use, and I will try using it with a full face respirator tomorrow.

i recently spent two hours in a walmart annoying the service desk people until a manager came and fully refunded me on a window AC that stopped working after 100 days (10 more than store warranty). i bought the two year extended warranty, but lost the receipt. Walmart says they can provide printouts of receipts for this, but their website to do so was broken so i wasn't taking no for an answer. Even got the money i spent on the original warranty back. anyways, just saw this on fb

I fought with PayPal for 6 weeks and ~10 hours on the phone over a $500 sewing machine that was broken in shipment. The idiot seller packed the 60lb machine in a box that was way too big cushioned by fabric scraps. The difficulty was that I sent it back to the seller using their original UPS tracking number because it was insured. The PayPal people kept seeing the tracking number showing "return to sender" and thought it meant returned to me, the buyer, in a completely different state. When I finally got through on the phone to a support person, they'd always understand what was actually happening and reopen the dispute with a note, which was then denied hours later at 2 AM by someone in their overseas support team who didn't read the note. This happened three times and I would have given up much earlier if it wasn't so much money.

Danhenge posted:Last year I spent between 5 and 10 hours of my time getting Williams Sonoma to send me 8 oz duralex glasses when they sent us 6 oz glasses by mistake. This was further complicated by the fact that it was a wedding registry gift. I explained to them a couple of times that it wasn't my responsibility to send something back they sent me by mistake, but they weren't interested. I was about to capitulate and send the glasses back when somebody sent me the laziest possible fake invoice for the glasses to "prove" our friend had ordered the wrong size. They had taken the invoice for the correct size, changed the listed size of the glasses to the incorrect smaller size, but left the images and upc code of the 8 oz glasses intact. After some angry emails to like a CEO and a VP I ended up getting the correct glasses and a gift card, but I felt like an rear end in a top hat. Hell yes consumer action. I sent my watch to the manufacture's approved service department who did such a bad job I sent the manufacturer an angry mail saying "this is bullshit, you charged me 150 to basically have my watch damaged" (you could literally see glue on the face where they'd repaired a missing hour marker) and after sending it to them they looked at it for a bit and said "yeah ok we'll send you a brand new one" which would be 650 new. The old one was a gift from my wife and the new one is slightly different but I'm super happy with that. More on topic: the "looks great but is actually fundamentally flawed" bathroom we have is getting ripped out in about 3 weeks and I will *definitely* be looking for some greatest hits there. Can we beat "filled the shower drain with tile adhesive", "relaid tiles lower than the old ones" and "broke the wet room tanking" with non-visible fuckups? Let's find out

raggedphoto posted:My house here in the PNW was built in 1947 and all the cast looks fine apart from build up on the inside of the pipes, I am guessing that I won't have to replace any of it in the near future unless I am re-plumbing something. Here we have to deal with an insane amount of expansion and contraction of the ground from the high concentration of clay close to the surface, and a huge variation in moisture content over the year. You know, Texas: super dry, super hot summers, drat near monsoons in the spring... Basically, those poor pipes get moved around a *lot* under the house, and finally gave up. Cracked along the top first, then finally I got a 6" gap break in the middle of a long run under the middle of the house.

A bit more rigid insulation would have given it the sheer strength to prevent that.

Houses have plywood sheathing on the outside to in part help prevent that. Until it's sheathed they have temporary diagonal support members, but obviously theirs were insufficient.

Computer viking posted:I think you're joking, but at the same time ... that really would have helped, wouldn't it? There are places that use drywall as a kind of sheathing for sheer force, similar to plywood in NA. I recall it in a Scott Brown video (New Zealander). The type of drywall and screw pattern are part of the inspection process.

A bunch of mcmansions have gone up behind my parent's house and it's been the worst construction gong show I've ever seen. They've had to scrap and redo almost every single element of the houses as they've built them. materials come too early and get water damaged, materials come too late and the previous step has to be re-done by the time they're ready for them. All for the cheapest low-quality looking tacky mcmansions you've ever seen. All selling for 5-6 million. Oh man the developer took such a bath on these too. They did NOT sell for 5-6 million lol https://www.theagencyre.com/listing/2645966-1721-Oak-Shade-Lane-Victoria-BC-V8S-5L9-CA Also the houses have been done for a while now and all the listings still only use the renders, no actual photos. wonder why. The crumbling uneven stucco? The crooked flashing? Baronjutter fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Oct 6, 2023 |
