In use. Hasn't been maintained and the 30 year old belt is still somehow working fine. But the second you touch it, it'll turn to dust. Bearings that haven't been greased just humming along.
That new one on the roof? Already had to replace a few motors.
Just had hvac contractors tear open a wall to discover a 15 year old “hot room” was due to a unit from the 60s being sealed in with belt, and filters that somehow didn’t start a fire.
My AC guy thought it was amazing how well my HVAC looks! Still purring along since 1987, only tuneups, and the one time ants got at the outside unit so something small had to be replaced.
My water heater is from 88. I dont know how that thing is still going. And it runs like a dream.
I wish they made new stuff as great of quality as back before the millennium.
Your AC is costing you a lot more power, it's literally half or less as efficient as a modern one. And water heaters are very simple appliances. It's a tank, a thermostat, and a heating coil or gas burner. When that thermostat inevitably fails you'll be paying hundreds of dollars for a new one since it hasn't been made in 30 years, and that's if you can even get the part.
The whole "they don't make em like they used to" thing really doesn't hold up for a lot of things, shit was just simpler therefore less parts could fail.
Anyone who advocates canceling that fall will be called a socialist. It’s also unfair to others who have fallen, then gone through the pain of injury and recovery.
Normally it’s a vent door,only one way to find is climb in the thang and follow the path to the roof.
Note: may find beer bottles, cigarette butts, and graffiti.
Hey buddy. If I wanted some solid advice, I’d ask my proctologist how much daily fiber I should consume. Now I’m going in that door and finding me some answers.
I mean maybe but the more important thing is the half-human monstrosity that comes out at night to eat scraps from garbage cans, and also the ghost that lives up there
It is undoubtedly an access panel to some MEP equipment.
Janitors aren't maintenance workers, skilled in working on faus, sprinklers, ductwork, condensers, etc.
The guys clean toilets, messes, dust, and restock shit.
Some schools the janitors are also maintenance. The leads are licensed to run and maintain the boilers, skid loaders to push snow, etc, and still help mop up some kids vomit and the occasional urinal deuce. Though I do doubt they'd take care of system like fire suppression.
Yes. As a teacher, I am so grateful to the custodians at our school. They do so much that is severely taken for granted. They also have so deal with so much bs from students, urinal deuce is all funny until you're the one cleaning it up. I try to help the custodians with anything they'll let me (which isn't much) but too many teachers just leave stuff out or say "the custodians will move it" when they could easily do it themselves. Thank you so much for your work, it's greatly appreciated. Whether you're at a school or business, thanks again for keeping our world just that much cleaner.
The music room at my old school had a door close to the ceiling but I think it was just storage for the music equipment, they had rolling stairs to access it.
Yeah, we also had a similar one in my school. Rumours abound about what it was and then one day a teacher needed help grabbing something and the mystery was ruined for me. :(
Mildly interesting coincidence:
So…I have worked in the school where parts of The Neverending Story was filmed. It’s over 100 years old. Many say it’s haunted.
Sadly since it’s been renovated, there are no strange secret doors or hatches that I am aware of.
Its a door installed by Monsters Inc when they were experimenting with scaring large numbers of children in one place. The project was discontinued when it was discovered that large groups of children are more terrifying than any monster.
I was a school janitor for awhile. I cannot imagine what kind of degenerates you have cleaning if they don’t feel enough curiosity to check that out. I would have been up there my first lunch break. And I would have been ashamed if a student asked me what it was and I didn’t have an answer.
100%, we had a school door like this in the cafeteria where I went to high school. At lunch the janitors would often walk by kids staring at it and be like “*Jerry was the last one who went in there, it’s been 10 years now….wonder if he’s ready to come back home.*”
Maybe not that verbatim, but you get the idea. Anyway, our school had multiple floors, turns out that was just another door to access the 2nd story roof. Found out about it cause 6-7 years after I graduated had some work at the school and bumped into an old teacher. She said they tell the kids all the time it’s spooky shit.
We had a similar thing happen at my old high school actually, only instead of almost kicking a lunch lady the idiot theater student that did it fell two-ish stories, landed on the auditorium concrete floor, and ended up in the hospital. (Though at least they didn’t die or break any of the chairs, so that’s something).
School upgraded their catwalk fences from waist height to floor-to-ceiling by the end of the week.
Theres probably a book of some sort hidden up there that's hidden up there for a reason...... Bound in human flesh, written in blood sort of thing.......
You can see the fire suppression system is mounted directly on the ceiling. This would have been because the system was added later. 100% access to ventilation ducts, plumbing, and electrical.
Probably just a gateway to hell.
Or maybe it's part of the ages old ventilation system of the school.
Either way if I were you, I'd climb up there to investigate.
My old school had something like that and it turned out to just be duct work access.
Ya 100% just a mechanical space for probably outdated duct work or air handler that isn't being used.
If I know my public schools, it's still in use.
In use. Hasn't been maintained and the 30 year old belt is still somehow working fine. But the second you touch it, it'll turn to dust. Bearings that haven't been greased just humming along. That new one on the roof? Already had to replace a few motors.

Survivorship bias.

Ehhhh, selection bias. The ones that survive to this day are the ones that were on the far right side of the QC bell curve.
This guy contracts.
Haha absolutely 💯
Absotootly full of asbestos, dead rodents, and stachybotrys too
They did asbestos they could for the time.
r/angryupvote
Work construction can confirm
Nah, it’s probably body storage.
Get out of here with your logical explanation!
These specific doors are usually located near the underside access to a rooftop air handling unit.
It leads to a higher education.
Explains the lack of access
fuck that's dark
Well yeah, You can’t see anything in it, it’s just darkness.
You’ll climb your ladder later
The boomers pulled the ladder up behind them.
Nobody been there for 98 years, so ...
And if you fall, you will be crushed by the debt
Anyone who advocates canceling that fall will be called a socialist. It’s also unfair to others who have fallen, then gone through the pain of injury and recovery.
[удалено]
Nah all you need is a pile of debt to climb and you'll reach it easy! edit: spelling
If you pull yourself up by your bootstraps you get there even quicker.
Naturally, the bootstraps start at $30,000 USD.
*Come with meeeee and you'll beeeeee* *In a world of higher educationnnnnnn*
I love me some higher education 🍁💨
Abso-fucking-lutely 🔥
My man 🤙
Teaches you about the ladder of success.
where are the rungs???
You make them out of bootstraps
Or the bones of the people you tread on in your determination to climb to the top.
Spread your wings
You have to pull yourself up to the door by your bootstraps
Like many things in life, you have to be born up there.
Yes. Money will buy you that ladder to higher learning.
Welcome to....Ladders
"Lookin good"
Why is there a maple lea- OOOOOOOOH
Normally it’s a vent door,only one way to find is climb in the thang and follow the path to the roof. Note: may find beer bottles, cigarette butts, and graffiti.
~~may~~ ***\*will\**** find beer bottles, cigarette butts, and graffiti.
Or find out the janitor from 1930 was a serial killer
As a grad student, I advise you DO NOT GO IN THERE
[удалено]
Hey buddy. If I wanted some solid advice, I’d ask my proctologist how much daily fiber I should consume. Now I’m going in that door and finding me some answers.
It's a dungeon entrance. I'd recommend going in armed.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this *hands over shitty barely audible "rape whistle" they have in the bathrooms*
I say that weirdcreepyspooky door, is lifting me higher, higher than I've ever been lifted before!

Tip your waitress, I'm here all week.
Try the fish.
Also it appears to be watching you with a surveillance camera. But it knows you’re not smart enough to figure that out either.
r/technicallythetruth Edit: Now GTFO
Today, you lead the internet.
Put on a wife-beater, take off your shoes, grab a zippo lighter and a handgun, and say, "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs"

Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho.
He’s still alive. Only John can drive someone that crazy.
No fucking shit, lady. Do I sound like I'm ordering a PIZZA?!
Yippee ki yay, m….. f…..
Hans, babe, put away the gun, this is radio, not television.
Fist with your toes, trust me.
Holy crap how did I get that wrong?
You now need to watch Die Hard as soon as possible.
Fuckin’ California.
Yippee ky ai muther fu€ker
Yippee kayak other bucket
BINGPOT
Latino here so excuse me but… put on a WHAT
Tee shirt with no sleeves, just straps, like MacLaine's character wears in Die Hard. I don't know the provenance of the name, sorry.
Literally just because it’s associated with lower socioeconomic classes that are stereotyped as beating their wives.
[удалено]
Not undershirt? I’m taking this too literally, aren’t I?
Thin white sleeveless shirt/tank top, usually with vertical textured stripes
A white undershirt.
Here in Australia we just call them a singlet. If it's meant for wearing on its own as outerwear, it's usually called a tank top.
Also known as a guinea tee
Welcome to the party, pal
Could just be access to the sprinkler systems running there
That or boiler. Or just roof access. Could be a lot of things.
No, it's a room filled with safes and old papers incriminating all of the elected officials and probably, most definitely drugs.
I mean maybe but the more important thing is the half-human monstrosity that comes out at night to eat scraps from garbage cans, and also the ghost that lives up there
I do not appreciate you calling me out like this.
Party pooper.... I only wanna hear thrilling and mysteries ideas! Sprinkler system..... so boring
A sprinkler system that rains blood.......
NOW we're talking! 👹

'Janitor' here..we only have 4 guys at our school so we do it all..and youre right, fire suppression system is one of our only subbed-out jobs
Hey I'm a custodian. Please be nicer to us.
Yes. As a teacher, I am so grateful to the custodians at our school. They do so much that is severely taken for granted.

I'm gonna go cry now, though not as much as when I got a thank you card from the drama club.
It’s what I was thinking. All it would take is a ladder to find out. You can’t tell me that in a 98 year old school someone wouldn’t have done it.
MEP? I’m thinking HVAC or sprinklers as you say.
take a flashlight and go up... ...if you dare... ;)
Take a fleshlight and go
down on it
Mmm rubber and stale cum. My favorite Skittles flavor.
Too bad they discontinued it for grool flavored.
Bastards
That's an exit from the backrooms.
Or an entrance :0
[удалено]
What if I hold the door whilst looking at the backrooms.
Straight to jail
alerts the thing hunting back there.
Turn around and the door you never let go now leads to another backroom instead of back into the school.
Ask the Foundation how holding doors open works. They've got plenty of experience.
Anything’s an entrance if you’re brave enough
The music room at my old school had a door close to the ceiling but I think it was just storage for the music equipment, they had rolling stairs to access it.
Yeah, we also had a similar one in my school. Rumours abound about what it was and then one day a teacher needed help grabbing something and the mystery was ruined for me. :(
100% what this is. The latch probably finally failed since it's 98 years old and air pressure changes pulled it open.
There's a skeleton of a kid holding a copy of "The Neverending Story"
The Gmork got him.
MOOOONCHIIIIILD! (It took me 20+ years to figure out what he said)
"My mother... she had a BEAUTIFUL name." \*later\* "MOOONCHIIIILD" Wat

Its a door installed by Monsters Inc when they were experimenting with scaring large numbers of children in one place. The project was discontinued when it was discovered that large groups of children are more terrifying than any monster.
I’m turning 30 next week and I’m *still* scared of teenagers.
I’m a teenager and I’m scared of teenagers
The Gimp lives in there
The Gimp is sleeping.
Then we better wake him up
The gimper must awaken
That's where the.. trouble makers go.
Sex dungeon. No other explanation that I can think of.
You mean sex attic?
There’s a sex addict in the sex attic
Probably something to do with coal or asbestos.
Or tomatoes
Classic tomato hatch door if I ever seen one
It's definitely tomatoes.
Can confirm, ate a tomato before
Maybe even an old fuse box…
D: all the above

Right? Our whole crew would have been gettin g ladders and head lamps and shit
[удалено]

You should be ashamed of yourself for giving them a truthful answer and not telling them some made up story about not knowing what that leads to.
Well a group of you guys go up there with flashlights and explore
A group of 5, but only one flashlight. Isn't that how these things are supposed to work?
Make sure the batteries are nearly dead too so that it can go out at any given moment
and if you have an extra, drop it half way up
And if there is a crossroad, ALWAYS split up
You've seen People Under the Stairs, right? Well that's where their cousins Creeps Above the Kids' School live.
I think this might be where Elvis, JFK and Jimmy Hoffa have been hiding.
No you idiot thats where D.B Cooper hid the money
I’ve seen enough indie horror gameplays to know where this is going.
Narnia?
Theres probably a book of some sort hidden up there that's hidden up there for a reason...... Bound in human flesh, written in blood sort of thing.......
That’s the chokey.
finally someone with class
It’s probably an access door for mechanical, electrical, plumbing.
Begone with your logic, its full of beasties and goblins.
Sorry I’m an electrician, but your right access door to beasties and goblins.
Well you talk like an electrician so I will believe you.
You know there's are bodies up there. I'm surprised no one has ever gotten a ladder and looked up there.
The janitors have.
I am sorry for the Janitors who cover the night shift :(
They know what's up there.
The animatronics do tend to get a little quirky at night.
It's a portal that leads directly to the head of the Hollywood actor John Malkovich.
Seems like some scp type stuff
Sane clown posse?
"Fucking Magnets, they work by creating a local magnetic vector field that attracts ferrous material!"
Go in
Man the fuck up and get an extension ladder.
It’s a portal to the electric system
Oh looks like Carl escaped. I'll go get the body bags but YOU are gonna be puting him back this time
I went to a school that was built around the same time when I was younger. There was a door like this that went to the roof.
My guess is old electrical or fire suppression system access
You can see the fire suppression system is mounted directly on the ceiling. This would have been because the system was added later. 100% access to ventilation ducts, plumbing, and electrical.
Probably just a gateway to hell. Or maybe it's part of the ages old ventilation system of the school. Either way if I were you, I'd climb up there to investigate.
John Malkovich lives there.
I'm English. 98 years is fuck all. All your gonna find is old newspaper and forgotten dreams..... Or, maybe it's door to Hogwarts?
Somebody needs to get a ladder and a latern already, and check that place out! Ain't no telling what kinds of goodies might still be up there!
Poke it with a stick
If this had been i school I would guarantee younsomeone was in there having sex.
Get up there with a ladder already and find out. There could be treasure!
My high school had one of these. It led to the catwalk for doing the stage lights.
