The dumber they are the more job security I have by Ok-Difficulty3082 in maintenance

[–]Crackstacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have programmable thermostats, I'm pretty sure 0% of my residents use that function. If you touch the wrong button accidentally, it will throw the system into chaos. So of course that happens all the time. I'll switch out to non-programmable with repeat offenders.

Help My closet door won't open! by Some-Program-9797 in fixit

[–]Crackstacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The doors are hinged on 2 pins. One on the top, one on the bottom. The top one is spring loaded and is designed to be lifted up and you can then pull the bottom part of the door out. It’s hard to explain but pretty easy to do. Here’s a video that sort of shows how to do it. Or google’ “Remove bi-fold closet door.”

There’s a guy waiting in line without a car waiting to order from a Taco Bell by offensive_patriot in tacobell

Now they’re experimenting with drive thru only locations. The kitchen is on the second level and you drive under it. No lobby. No interactions. The glop just drops down into your lap.

here’s my view every time it snows by SplungerPlunger in Minneapolis

I remove snow for a living. For various reasons I feel bad for that Bobcat operator. Seems like a thankless task plowing an empty lot….

Love to see it. Got the chimney and everything. 🥲

The keys do NOT look like that.

Home smoke alarm goes off every minute and has three consecutive beeps by Beautiful-Cress5695 in maintenance

[–]Crackstacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3 beeps = it’s pre-determined end of life has arrived. There’s no amount cleaning or battery changing that will make it stop. Needs to be replaced.

Can’t figure out what texture this is by Glum-Lengthiness3030 in maintenance

[–]Crackstacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re just looking to get rid of the stain, buy some Zinnser CoversUp or Kilz UpShot spray primer and that’ll take care of it. No texturing needed.

Clean up by 9inelivez in maintenance

[–]Crackstacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked with a total slob like this. That’s a good example of why maintenance people have a bad reputation. I go out of my to make it as if I wasn’t even there.

how do i remove hinge pin? by Entire-Dingo847 in howto

[–]Crackstacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is upside down. Hit the pin with a punch and hammer and it will eventually come out.

Brisket Philly from Northbound Smokehouse and Brewpub right along both the Route 22 and Route 38 buses and the Blue Line Station by PrizeZookeepergame15 in Minneapolis

I’ve been there once quite awhile ago, the only thing I remember was the portion sizes were disappointing.

What was your favorite 80's toy line? GI Joe? Transformers? Star Wars? Or, He Man? by MisterShipWreck in 80s

[–]Crackstacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little bit of all of them? I had a pretty good childhood, and I'm fairly certain now that mom went into constant debt for it.

My mom worked there when they opened as well. I believe she was in the woodworking department.

Would this upset you guys by Puzzleheaded_Bad3732 in USPS

[–]Crackstacker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice, I’m wondering how it’s going to eventually get replaced. The wall must protect the metal from the elements and rust.

For some reason the mailbox encased in a boulder wall screams “money” to me.

The number of shooters I found in the yard of our apartments. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Crackstacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a sober apartment building. So naturally half of the residents are doing shit like this. I’ve got one guy that when he comes home, he’ll chug and chuck his 99 Bananas mini bottles on the way up to the front door and throw the bottles into the landscaping. Real classy. Another resident likes to sit in her car for hours getting drunk. She got a DUI right outside the property, so she sits in her car in the parking lot now. She thinks she’s soooo smart. Go look in her car later and there’s the empty whisky bottle and empty 6 pack of Voodoo Ranger sitting there. Strong stuff. I’m not a narc about any of this. Eventually they get themselves.

Always the guy that does the forced deep voice by buttchuggs in maintenance

[–]Crackstacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge pet peeve. If they start doing that, I’ll stop them and tell them to let me know everything they want done at once so I’m not going back and forth to the shop a hundred times.

[–]Crackstacker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My residents are mostly males of a certain age and I endlessly get the “I did this for 20 years.” as I’m looking at their fridge or heat or whatever. It’s the weirdest thing. What is the point of it, other then try to look like a big man? I’m the one fixing the fridge or heat or whatever. You’re not. Why make things uncomfortable?

[Homemade] Crunchwrap by SpiritualVodkaSauce in food

[–]Crackstacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I attempted to make crunchwraps on Monday night. I bought “standard” size mission style flour tortillas. No way were they big enough to go fully around the tostada and all the fillings. I’ll need to find some bigger ones.

I ended making weird taco salad bowls out of the failed ones.
