The Fire Department has said that our laundry Room door (a fire door) must be closed at all times………………..and locked. Why locked I ask? And did! To the Superintendent who was there today when I was in the L. Room.
I cannot get in very easily when I have to face the door dead on, reach over my laundry basket, unlock the door (that is what brakes are for, so that position doesn’t move my ass and the chair backward and throw me out), take off the brakes and it slams in my face. It is bloody annoying.
It wasn’t this way when I moved in (2002) nor finally today!
Today I hooked up a strap to go around my whole body to keep the basket on my lap. That’s okay for getting to the door, then I have to put it down on the floor in the hallway. I took a meat tenderizer with me and used it as a wedge, then went back for my basket and came back through an open door. That’s when the Super arrived saying the door must be closed at all times. I said nothing. I put in two loads, pulled my wedge to leave but then she was back and I said the door was so heavy that it was a fire door, but WHY must it be locked?
Fire Dept says so!
If the door is shut, being it is a fire door it will work. WHY lock it?
Fire Dept says so.
(deep breathes, deep breathes)
and as she walked away “locked because someone might break in and steal the money in the machines”.
Well if she is Super 24 hours a day, the she can empty the money regularly.
Vent finished!
But I have my meat tenderizer (wooden) on my lap, with my keys, and my “Loonie” container ready to go back to put the loads into a dryer, and the door will remain open while I do that, then pull my wedge and let the dryers work.
Vent really finished!
Do you think I need someone to talk to? Ha Ha -- Am laughing about it now!
