jadena102010.bsky.social•8 days ago

Damn you I made this exact joke then scrolled down you predicted my mind

Dad’s massive caulk

gilliesracer.bsky.social•8 days ago

That's funny! I have thought the very same and more than once.

dystopianmumma07.bsky.social•8 days ago

What did I say about posting truthful articles?

ob-in-nc.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is NOT funny. Your mother will hear about this.

Proper prep and sealant application is necessary for performance and not looking like crap, dammit!

realwordman.bsky.social•8 days ago

It's not funny

deplantagenet.bsky.social•8 days ago

LMAO.
When I was Sr. HSK Manager I had to make the tough choice of allowing a room in inventory with mediocre caulking.
To date, I have never in my life received a complaint about the caulking in the shower but quite a few about the room not being ready to check in (because the caulk is drying).

deplantagenet.bsky.social•8 days ago

This example is actually something we discuss in meetings and trainings.

missed-sla.bsky.social•8 days ago

i feel attacked

eoghan01.bsky.social•8 days ago

Oh, shit, I thought he was talking about "cocking". I need to unsend a text.

sirtonk.bsky.social•7 days ago

we've all been there

(checking out caulk in hotel bathrooms)

austinspartan.bsky.social•7 days ago

Damnit, it's me

lambiekins85.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

texas-architect.bsky.social•8 days ago

Noob Dad. The proper name is sealant.

poseg8.bsky.social•8 days ago

Me too! So many questions about maintenance 🤔

collier74.bsky.social•8 days ago

Dr. Rick will frown.

I'm in this picture and... Fuck it, yeah, I'll own it with pride. If i can caulk better than your people after twenty years out of trades, you need better people.

ohsowhat.com•8 days ago

This hits tho! How is it so hard to do some decent caulking in these budget motels??

beyond-hope.bsky.social•8 days ago

Needs to have some choice words about MAGA....

tdavault.bsky.social•8 days ago

We're re tileing our bathroom. I told my son yesterday that I need to go to a tile store to look at different colored caulks.

jessbehrens.bsky.social•7 days ago

Dad gets caulk. He gets caulk at an organic level. Listen to dad.

strawberryskates.bsky.social•8 days ago

Having bought a home with ugly bathroom caulking, I get this. Once you see it you ALWAYS see it

gwiggs.bsky.social•8 days ago

Fuck em up dad

stevelouise.bsky.social•8 days ago

Give it to 'em, big guy!

jc-allen.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just the caulking? Guess he hasn't noticed the bad paint job behind the door in the half inch between the doorframe trim and the corner. Absolutely disgraceful.

clawfoot.bsky.social•8 days ago

And don't get me started on the grout and tile setting! some of these have an 1/8 th inch lip. Unacceptable for a $200 a night room

desertsquatch.bsky.social•8 days ago

There's a cracked tile, way up there. Hello front desk....

mka1022.bsky.social•8 days ago

Eyeglasses that don't cover the eyes?

Dad.

momoklepto.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m the mom and I do this. Also, irregular spacing between tiles and furniture not perpendicular or in right place. I will move them.

spacemtn.bsky.social•7 days ago

Don’t get me started on the tile work…

gregwalk.bsky.social•8 days ago

He's not wrong though

hst6774.bsky.social•8 days ago

As someone who both travels for a living & has done remodeling on our houses - I’d like to thank a lot of hotels (looking especially at you Hilton) - your shitty caulking makes me feel a lot better about my own work.

Moldy shit!

dewolffmaninmpls.bsky.social•8 days ago

You’d think the Union wouldn’t tolerate short-cuts or shoddy workmanship with it’s members or sub-contractors!
It bet that’s very on-brand for Dad-style opinions!

dewolffmaninmpls.bsky.social•8 days ago

Hah! I wrote this before reading The Onion’s article! I even used their same phrase! Solid takes all around. Enjoy!

haemaker.hae.com•8 days ago

Yeah, what else does one do in a bathroom other than examine caulk.

seanhare.bsky.social•8 days ago

Little does he realize that travesty was the work of the last dad who stayed in that same hotel room. It's always a good idea to locate hotels near home improvement stores for this very reason.
