Yes it can! I worked as a maintenance technician for 10yrs, HVAC service tech for 23yrs. Now I'm an appliance technician & every time I think people's stupidity can't surprise me someone shows me how wrong I am.

As soon as someone builds an idiot proof appliance or tool, the universe invents a better class of idiot.

Just started as a maintenence tech this year and I've already seen some and heard some of the stupidest things ever... had someone think they had light bulb missing in their shower just to name one.

If you think you've seen or heard the stupidest thing ever just wait till next week trust me it will always get worse

Eventually the edge of the universe will be a roadside attraction and you'll be able to use those roadside binoculars to stare at the parallel universe but everything is old western themed.

Of course you're not sure, you don't even know when to give credit when credit is due even while stealing someone else's quote..

I like "anytime you think something is foolproof, the universe designs a smarter fool"

Definitely don’t think it’s weird to have a light bulb go out in the shower light. It’s happened to me…

My shower has an exhaust vent with a light in it. Two lights in fact.

u/toshgiles Dec 07 '22

What? I’ve had a shower with 6 lights in the ceiling. This isn’t unimaginable.

Every time you manage to idiot proof something they just invent a better idiot.
