Brock Wilbur @brockwilbur Short Thread: staying with some friends and last night after everyone went to bed I could not figure out how to turn off the large ceiling light in their living room. There is a wall controller that seemed fairly straightforward. U/L HI LIGHT MED D/L LOW FAN OFF KICHLER. 1:23 PM · Jan 17, 2020 · Twitter for iPhone 16.1K Likes 6.1K Retweets @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur Replying to @brockwilbur There is a large main light, a smaller light on top that faces up, several levels of brightness, and a fan. Each time I tried to turn off the upward facing light, something else would turn on. After ten minutes, I woke up my wife to ask her to help. It only got worse. 27 29 3 1.2K @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur Each time we thought everything was off, a few seconds later something else (or everything else) would turn back on. Minute twenty, I started laughing out of sheer frustration at what felt like a Myst puzzle. Couldn't wake our friends cause they have a small kid. 27 34 18 1.8K @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur Suddenly, we solved it. Everything went off and stayed off and after waiting a full minute we realized it was gonna stay that way. This is circa lam. I finally went to sleep. 27 17 1.2K @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur This morning we asked about what the deal was with the light. The answer has broken me. 27 42 1.2K 1 @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur Our friends are in a newly built condo complex. The fan controls use a binary code to connect to the fans. Additionally the controls were only supposed to have a signal reach of 30 feet. They reach much, much further. 27 85 10 1.6K @brockwilbur. Jan 17 Brock Wilbur There are almost 40 units within reach. Based on the binary code limitation there's only 16 possible code options. So everyone in this building controls the main light and fan of at least one other person; maybe more. 27 151 23 2.7K @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur From 12:30 to lam last night, I was engaged in a proxy war with up to three other apartments, as they in turn, set my fan to high and my lights to the brightest setting, until everyone gave up. 27 197 4.7K 18 @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur Our hosts have been here for six months and have found a way to live with it by imagining who in their building they might be interacting with. This one guy who they think particularly might be an a------ and they have suspicions about when he's running the show. 27 33 2K 12 · Jan 17 | am staying here again tonight. I look forward to wrestling control of the lights from what is essentially angry ghosts in my own personal AITA post. Brock Wilbur @brockwilbur 27 60 10 2.8K @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur My inclination is to go Full Lawful Good and turn off everyone's lights tonight at 10pm to make sure we all get a good night of sleep and wake up rested and ready for a productive Saturday. 27 62 3.7K 57 @brockwilbur · Jan 17 Brock Wilbur The light is off. War is over. 27 38 2.7K @brockwilbur · Jan 20 Thought I was gonna delete this innocuous thread after it got the inevitable eleven favs. What I love from the replies is that it seems to be a cathartic punching bag for all, regarding how dumb / s----- / funny our trashfuture is. Thanks for reading my story about a ceiling fan. Brock Wilbur 27 11 19 549

Soham @king26_sk your 20s are all about repeatedly rediscovering basic facts like "I feel better when I wash my face" or "eating breakfast is actually a great idea"
This is how Mercedes-Benz advertised their strong headlight. Professor Barclay Cool, now I can actually become blind when driving at night.

My read (NOT A LAWYER) Is that fully deleting the account is the way to avoid them getting this permission. -If you're at all considering that I recommend you request a Twitte archive **THIS SECOND**, as it takes about 24 hours to be emaile to you.
