Oohh, I had this happen once in a building I lived in! Some guy hung his jacket on one of these on the 20th floor and it basically flooded all apartments on that side of the building, 4 per floor, plus the walkways too. When inenterrd the building it was raining inside the lobby. All inner drywalls were, well, not dry anymore, and had to be replaced, all carpets everywhere, all apartments had heavy water damage, people lost half their electronics in the soaking and the rotten egg smelling water basically ruined everything for basically 80 apartments.
I dont know and can’t imagine what happened to the guy, would insurance cover THAT? And that much?
It was a shitshow
When building fires happen the water damage is often worse than fire damage. Worst is to get the water damage without being able to say that at least it saved some lives in setting of fire.
What is this? I’m from a place where fire alarms just don’t exist in houses, not a common item available for purchase. So I’ve figured it’s related.
Hotel.
Not an alarm, sprinkler head.
it’s caused by appartments and hotel rooms not having enough ceiling and wall hooks
i mean this may just be something that people were aware of before it even happened.
but that wouldnt be as funny i have to admit
I live in a loft, a neighbor of mine hung a hammock off the exposed sprinkler pipe… It was a shit show. They are on the hook for a couple hundred thousand dollars in damages to the building and their neighbors units.
I do like finding signs warning of a particularly specific problem, always makes one wonder who it was who caused the sign to be installed and how they feel about it. You’ll often find that even generic signs like “Don’t let items burn in the toaster” had a root cause in a specific incident (or string thereof).
Someone’s never been to a furry convention.
I’ve absolutely seen people do this, far too often in fact. Every sign has a story.
You’re going to try this OP?
