What did the original post say?

He said he was "freshening up" his clothes this morning when the dryer stopped working. He texted his landlord about it at 7:56AM. His landlord asked him to use the ticket system to generate a work order and asked him to text after 9AM on weekends unless it's an emergency. He did not take that well.

I never drape my body in room temperature clothes, that shit is for peasants.

Says the troll renting an apartment.

Freshing up is when you take a spray water bottle, spray the clothes slightly damp, and then toss in the dryer with a dryer sheet while you take your morning shower.

Gets the clothes nice and crispy and fresh smelling again. I do it every morning before work, with my clean clothes. To get them extra fresh and toasty when I put them on out of the shower. It feels incredible to put them warm clothes on!

That's such a waste of resources. And it sounds like you're a huge douche if you really do this.

People keep mentioning something about a "ticket system"

I really have no fucking clue what you guys are talking about, neither does my landlord

ticket system is like a work order
i assume the apt has a maintenance dept and you submit a ticket for something that needs to be fixed

and yes 8 am on a sat is kinda early for a a non emergency

You said it. A "work order" doesn't just materialize out of the either. The method by which your problem report becomes a work order is the ticketing system, be it electronic (a website) or manual (a human). It's typically a website where you fill in the details and it gets forwarded to a maintainance guy who also has to document what he found/did. Property managers use them to monitor/track expenses and progress.

Hey look, I found a copy of the OP's original post:

Because I have things to do today I was 'freshening up' some clothes in the dryer when it suddenly stopped working.
I texted my landlord at 7:56 that the dryer had suddenly stopped working. She texted back asking me to fill out a work order and that the maintenance guy 'should' come today. And then said please don't text her before 9:00 AM in the future because 'she was asleep'
Well, isnt it the responsibility of the landlord if one of their tenants has a situation like this? I dont understand how she can tell me to wait until 9:00 to text her problems. I have things to do today...

Work order, ticketing system, same thing.

If you were telling the truth and not trolling, you might have remembered ?

Thanks for that. I'm still siding with the OP because this could've led to an emergency. This is a dryer we're talking about and it malfunctioning so suddenly could lead to a fire or something. Also, the landlord advised him on what to do going forward so no harm was done. IMHO, fuck her beauty sleep. I just don't understand the rage going on here in this thread.

:hmm:

You would of course, that is expected.

Unplug it then and go to a laundromat.

And your reason for siding with them, is nothing to do with the topic of alternate accounts ?

I have no alternate account here and I have no reason to.

I think the landlord would need to be notified since the space and property are being leased. Add the fact that, again, this is a dryer, I wouldn't just dismiss it so easily. Contacting the owner was the right thing to do considering how dangerous of a machine it could be. Again, OP texted the landlord. He did not call, he texted. She could've responded at her leisure. He was nice enough to give her that courtesy.

Ah yes, you just wanted advice on how to "benefit" from a friend poisoning a friends mistress.
Apologies for doubting your moral compass.

No need to add colorful commentary to your apology towards me.

What a whiny self-centerd, self-abosrbed waste of humanity you are. Wind chimes, dryers, what's next, the sun makes the sidewalk too hot.

Everything I wanted to say in this thread has been said already. I'm proud of ATOT today.

Edit: Changed my mind. WTH kind of site is this?

When I'm searching for forum users here, who are spreading huge numbers of the same (spam/adverts etc) on many other forums, anandtech forums gets repeated on a HUGE number of websites, it's absolutely CRAZY!, I agree.

But I needed a way of getting their original post back, and it seemed a convenient way, and I sourced it to let people know where it came from.
Sorry!

lol i just brought up the cached page. it was cached about 40 minutes after the OP made this stupid thread.

Oh that wasn't an apology to you, I thought that I might have been thinking of the wrong person.

I have no doubt about your moral compass.

Disregard for fellow humans? Whatever happened to the golden rule? You treat others the way you'd expected to be treated.

I expect that lots of people relax and sleep-in on Saturday morning. They often need to catch up on rest after a stressful work week. I would avoid contacting anyone Saturday morning unless it was an extremely urgent matter. This was not.

 

[futurefields]

i apologized about the early text to her

 

[Red Squirrel]

Check under the dryer, some of them put the ram slots upwards and with the vibration the ram can fall out.

On serious note I don't see the big deal with texting at any time of the day. If the person is sleeping they'll check their texts when they wake up and can reply at their own leisure. Way better than a phone call that will actually wake up the person.

 

[DrPizza]

You're assuming I have a wife or girlfriend.

Looks like you're the idiot, troll etc...

Well, given your apparent wardrobe problems, it's no wonder.

No, I think the maintanence guy is gonna come. He just left with the dryer, taking it to repair shop. He was really nice and I apologized about the early text.

Okay, someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I cannot imagine any circumstances where a maintenance guy would need to take a dryer to a repair shop. (To me) it sounds like a lie that someone with little knowledge about dryers would make. They are incredibly simple pieces of machinery. A motor, a belt, a pair of rollers, a few switches, controller, and either electric heating elements, else controls for a gas burner, and a few minor (though common problems) such as thermal fuses. Diagnosing the problem is child's play for any decent mechanic. The body of dryers are incredibly simple to open, and a trip to the shop to repair the dryer would more likely be a trip to go get a part. Why haul a dryer out, rather than return with the needed part?

edit: if I'm wrong, then I'm really surprised that "dryer to the repair shop" and "dryer back to the repair shop" turned up a grand total of 1 hit on Google. OP is lying.

Would love to see the guy carrying the dryer out on his back out of the rental unit and loading it into a truck. The claim is so absurd as you pointed out that it could only be made up.
