I found a squeaky door so I got the oil and fixed it… Then did every door I could before my wife caught me.

Am I alone here? It’s so satisfying to just glide open!

Damn straight I am. It’s the little things you have to enjoy!

    I just moved into an apartment and have one squeaky door. It’s already driving me nuts, I can’t wait until I can fetch lubricant from my house. But, my downstairs neighbor has a ton of squeaky hinges and… Okay, honestly, that was the second sign that he is hard of hearing lol

      Once you do yours, go down and offer to do his, using the “I’m having fun lubricating hinges and I’ve run out of doors” excuse.

      Btw, age related hearing loss often starts with those high notes, so use your manly voice with him.

        I fucking love this place. Nowhere else on the Internet would someone suggest using the

        “I’m having fun lubricating hinges and I’ve run out of doors” excuse.

        I’m here for it, you guys are all awesome, lubricate ALL the hinges!

        That second bit would be great advice if I wasn’t AFAB or a person who loses their voice when asked to repeat themselves xD
