Foundation Gripe Sheet

This is an open collab though weaker entries do get pruned from time to time. Based on the maintenance gripe sheet lists you might find online or shared in an email from your uncle. Enjoy some dry humor and snarky responses!

Note: Submitted reports are listed ten per page, with newer reports added at the bottom of the last page. Requests come in daily for all manner of odd tasks, often well outside of normal maintenance work. Luckily, inner site maintenance crews can take a joke.
-Head Maintenance Supervisor Jaimison

Standard format for reports:

P: Problem reported.
S: Solution carried out.

Example:

P: The Foundation is a cold and dangerous place to work in.
S: It helps to have a sense of humor.

ADVICE: Keep it simple! Focus on one thing that would require maintenance per report. Think on what kind of strange happenings would be borderline everyday problems at the foundation. Like a vending machine that can dispense lava as easily as coffee. Or a living goo leaving a trail of slime.

If you want feedback first, comment your idea in the discussion, otherwise, additions are deleted/edited at toadking07's discretion.
