An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Crassus Fence Repairs Ltd resents the tone of your comment
I had a plumber come out one time to work on my shower. While he was there he told me my hot water heater was old and needed to be replaced soon. An hour after he left, it started leaking. He swore he only looked at the date and didn't touch anything. Needless to say I called a different plumber to come and replace it.
I'd have been hard pressed to pay that guy...
Me too, but they are made of glass. I had one that was still in warranty and tried checking the anode. The anode wouldn't budge, but a few hours later the thing started leaking from up there. Luckily, they honored the warranty and I now have a water heater that is only one year old, and not 5.
wowee that business sure is boosting GDP
Once I got a quote from one of the doorstep fliers. The guy defrauded me between 54% and 30% of the original contract price because he waited until he got half up front before saying he would do a job with crappy materials that would only last a year or so unless i paid 54% more. I should have cancelled the check and said get off my property.
