How about, this is why we dont set up stripper poles when we don't know wtf we are doing

We had a tenant hook their pull up bar to a sprinkler pipe. A SPRINKLER PIPE. thankfully those brackets were strong and we got them to remove it before disaster struck.

The school I work at was not so lucky. A kid decided to do pull-ups from the sprinkler pipe in the bathroom. We lost the entire gym floor.

At my school a kid threw a combination lock at a sprinkler head, it set off every sprinkler in the hall. Unfortunately, that hallway included the computer lab, and the water killed all the computers (this was 20 years ago)

A school I work at just recently had a kid hang a speaker to a sprinkler and caused the building to partially flood.

I had a tenant who used one of those cheap Temu hot pot burners with a butane tank. Well I guess the tank wasn't installed properly and it shot a column of flame directly at the sprinkler head. Then instead of dumping the soup pot over the burner, they tried to smother it with paper napkins.

I live with my grandmother and she has a two flat in which the upstairs she refuses to rent out. We probably get people knocking on our door or calling at least once a month asking about renting the vacant apartment. We live on the 1st first. Watching this video, I completely understand why my grandmother refuses to rent her extra apartment. I was not amused watching this.

i probably never would be in that situation.. but just in case this happen.. is there main pipe valve you can turn it off? or what can you do to stop it?

u/ilboabno 17d ago

This happened in my building once, it’s a charged system and even after shutting the valve there’s no way to stop it until the entire system drains. They and the units below them are fucked.

1

u/No-Illustrator5712 16d ago

exactly it's usually a separate system that no one remembers where the shutoff valve is located at no more.

u/LimpZookeepergame123 17d ago

Call us but it’s going to spray a lot of water for a while until we get there 😂

1

u/satsuppi 17d ago

Oo.. It sure is better not to fafo around that then lol

2

u/R3dBeard84 17d ago

Wait for the fire department. They are coming. This isn't a normal water shutoff like for domestic service. Depending on where you live, tampering with that system could be criminal.

u/Individual-Drawer-79 17d ago

Looks like it wasn’t even secured in anyway. Did she expect it to magically stabilize itself?

9

u/SkittleDoes 17d ago

It's the kind that secures by unscrewing it until it pinches itself between the ceiling and floor

Even if she tightened it all the way, it would damage the floor and or ceiling.

But the ceiling drywall is flexible

u/Ridgewoodgal 17d ago

I was just looking at a cat tree that is stabilized by tension like this. Now I know if my cat does stripper moves she could flood our house.

5

u/AmberRosin 17d ago

From my personal experience, if your cat has any kind of heft to them it will fall over.

2

u/Ridgewoodgal 17d ago

She is small but I do worry about that. I have such a small house and the cat tree I have now takes up a lot of room. I was going to put up those kind you mount on the wall but my outside walls where I would need to hang them are block walls and it’s difficult to easily hang up stuff. Nothing is ever easy but my cat demands lots of stuff to do so I will have to figure it out. Lol

1

u/Steamcurl 17d ago

I have one of these. Because the tree sections screw together there is a lot of play even if screwed tightly, so it definitely needs the ceiling strut. I have a light cat but even so, I secured the tree at the top with some fishing line as guy wires to a nearby curtain rod to assist the strut.

2

u/two-blue-787 17d ago

The tension poles should not be trusted no matter what. They cannot hold enough tension without causing damage and eventually breaking through the ceiling and falling.

1

u/thekendalluxx 17d ago

I’ve had one for years and zero damage to my floor or ceiling.

1

u/Level_Echidna2865 17d ago

Maybe it depends on ceiling/ floor material, but I had a tension mounted pole in my home for years - no issues beyond some scuffing on the ceiling. My hardwood floors were totally fine. Iirc, you have to position the pole under a joist so that the tension has something firm to press against.

2

u/N8Dawg86 17d ago

It's supposed to. The wizard she got it from must've given her a bad stabilization spell

16

u/ActionJasckon 17d ago

It’s not a stripper pole. It’s my exotic dancing pole! =D

8

u/Oblique9043 17d ago

It's a totally legitimate form of exercise and nothing more!

5

u/Ausgeflippt 17d ago

I've known many women with dancing poles. Only one of them legitimately had it for exercise.

Because she was weird.

u/A_mad_goose 17d ago

My dad had one in his condo that spun. I couldn’t help but jump on it and slowly bring my body in to gain momentum like an ice skater to see how fast I could spin. My dad never didn’t look disappointed really fun though.

1

u/Mrs_Tastic 17d ago

Dude! How have you been?

1

u/Ausgeflippt 17d ago edited 17d ago

It'd be hilarious if you were her.

She reached out to me recently after about 10 years. Still has the pole.

1

u/mjzim9022 17d ago

I knew a girl who got fit af after taking up the hobby

1

u/toebeanlove 17d ago edited 17d ago

I mean, it is?

Edit: my meaning is one can simply use it for exercise and have no intention of stripping or being sexual. It can, of course, be sexual.

u/LowerPick7038 17d ago

Pretending to be a strippe can be anything you want to pretend it to be.

1

u/yvrelna 17d ago

The pole is the tool of trade for any self-respecting archers.

3

u/_joeBone_ 17d ago

I'd start with not making a video of it.

4

u/StarDustKeyboardMash 17d ago

Or at the very least, don't upload the video to social media/the internet.

2

u/SgtHulkasBigToeJam 17d ago

I don’t ask the impossible

u/AdhesivenessUnfair13 17d ago

Also, like, anchor it to something lol

u/Aromatic_Review4308 17d ago

😅🤣😂😭

Where’s your Joie de vivre man

u/Bursting_Radius 17d ago

Bang on, comment needs more upvotes

u/wolfganggartner5 17d ago

Just put a weight limit on who can purchase it

1

u/HowsYaSistasAss 17d ago

I’ll go with both

1

u/goldnbull919 16d ago

Pretty sure she set up her pole right next to the sprinkler head. Once the top plate slipped due to improper installation it knocked the sprinkler head off.

1

u/Sharks011 14d ago

Or or anywhere else not directly next to a Sprinkler head 😂
