I have been informed that I can't go home today.

Some dickhead ripped out the scanners in both lifts of my apartment building. Neither lift is functioning, indefinitely

What the fuck? Surely the building has a contingency plan for accessibility?

Having some experience with lifts and servicing, they should have an override option (or maintenance mode) that basically stops at every floor and just cycles through.

Hahah...unrelated and the username was first.

Temporary maintenance mode activated. Apparently the degenerates damaged that backup option too, and that had to be fixed first before anything else.

Still no panels until tomorrow, but they've fixed the backup option

I hope they find the culprits and catapult them into cacti

What the fuck?!?! Fuck that!!!!

If you need to stay at a hotel they'd better be paying you back for that.

WTF who’s gonna look after Chook?

Hopefully he’s sorted with food and water until you can get in but this isn’t ok
