That sounds like the bigger badder version of pressing the alarm button in an elevator. When I was in college everyone in my dorm building was assessed a $1 fine to replace the floor buttons that were stolen from the elevator. What piece of poo poo elevator has buttons you can steal?

My condo has the outside outlet, and the two bathroom outlets downstream of one of the basement GFCI outlets. The other basement outlet is for the washer and located next to the utility sink but is not GFCI and not downstream of the GFCI outlet.D34THROW posted:None of the other exterior outlets are GFCI. I have no idea what tripped this one except maybe if something knocked against the test button? I'm surprised that's not uncommon, it just seems like a weird way to do things. If the outlets are daisy chained, the GFCI can detect fault on the other outlets. It's cheaper than using GFCI outlets for each.

I used to have a thing about stairs when I was smaller. I still have nightmares about death stairs sometimes. I think it came from a couple things. My aunt lived in an old mansion that had been converted into a group home, and the stairs in there were especially creaky and slanted. The other was a set of metal grate stairs like these: But suspended like 30 feet over open water.

Suspect Bucket posted:BTW, screw eveyone with a "No shoes" policy and nowhere for me to sit and take my boots off. Inconsiderate. Yes, some crappy construction to rerail this thread. I want a built in bench in my entry. At least my current place has some stairs to sit on. An old apartment of mine had white carpet, including in the entry, while the kitchen was 2 feet away and had tile. Just extend the tile you turds! And then they tried to tell us it was against fire code to keep a welcome mat or any shoes outside our door. So once a year we had to bring it all in for inspection day. Also, they threw down blue salt in the winter, managed not to get any of that on the carpet though. But really, gently caress the white carpet in general.

I thought the smoke alarm at the top of my stairs was bad. They took "top of the stairs" literally and centered it over the edge of the top step. One foot back would have been just fine guys.

Mine blasts the stuff right into the bottom of the cabinet above. I knew it didn't go to the outside, but there's a filter in there that's supposed to do something. I got suspicious when I took out a filter after a few months and it looked brand new. It just kind of bypasses the fitler and fills the rest of the microwave with grease. It's a rental, so I can't really be hosed to take it down and adjust the blower to do it "right".

I went to Vegas, and to a restaurant in the Venetian hotel next to the indoor canal. They asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, so we sat outside under the fake sky. I was also massively jetlagged the first day, so I walked over to the shops at Caesar's. I must have been there before the official opening, because at 9am sharp, the music started and the lights changed to make it dusk in this fake "outdoor" street. It was pretty jarring to go from daytime to dusk in an instant.
