For nearly thirty years I have worked in and around the building management industry, dealing with people from all walks of life and protecting some of them from themselves
Here is a list of the stupid people do, I have encountered previously.
1) Instruct their maid to dry wet laundry on the Fire Sprinkler head and hooked ten fully loaded cloth hangers onto the sprinkler head before the whole thing popped off and spewed gallons & gallons of water on the corridor and flooded the whole floor.
2) The electrical contractors' illegal taping power supply from the common area to use the welding set caused a power surge to the entire building
3) The carpenter whacked a sprinkler head with a hammer.
4) Owner of 4 Wheel Drive vehicle, decided to wash his car with the fire hose, in his parking lot.
5) Jumping off the 2nd-floor balcony into the swimming pool below.
6) BBQ party on the balcony
7) Set out the fireworks from the balcony
8)Allowed their kids to ski in the lobby, smashed the glass sliding doors
9) Allowed their kids to bicycle and scooter on the driveway, unsupervised
10) Leaving underage children in the swimming pool unsupervised.
11) Poo in the swimming pool etc. Now, you see, I have had a great deal of experience in dealing with stupid people and their random acts of insanity. I understand fully that idiots are everywhere. Stupid people outnumber smart people, believe me Maybe at least ten to one.
Do you agree? To be frank.
This one caught me by surprise. I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that I have never even considered the possibility of
some idiot starting a barbecue fire in the living room on the carpet floor. Good building managers must anticipate particularly dangerous or harmful acts of stupidity and develop plans and processes to either prevent them or minimize the damage if they occur Unless you can put all of the stupid people in one place. That way, their stupidity will only affect other stupid people, but we can’t, can we?
Wisdom and intelligence have their limits, but stupidity knows no bounds. This I found out, that the young and educated, have a brain, but have no common sense. You can’t teach People Common Sense, can you?
If you have any questions to ask the consultant, please email your questions to [email protected]. But not posting it on Facebook.
