Dull Men's Club
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.

Fuck Samsung… We have their appliances as well since they were here when we moved in.
Sorry but I have to rant. This post has re-awoken my rage…
Here’s what it’s like when you need a repair, say when the refrigerator is freezing your food:
First call around the local appliance repair places to find out they’re not “authorized repair agents” or whatever. Give up, call the support line and relay the problem. They state a tech will notified and dispatched in the next few days. From half way across the state of course…
Tech arrives, and obviously hasn’t been told anything because while relaying the problem to them, they know what it is immediately without even opening the thing, so clearly Samsung support hasn’t told them shit.
Because they drove out instead of being told the problem by Samsung, pay the bill including the $150 travel cost and wait for the additional $150 part that is a cheap-ass plastic piece of shit to arrive. Then pay for all that again for the install, but hey! If you’re lucky they’ll give you a “discount” on your bill and it’ll be only slightly cheaper than if you bought a new fridge that isn’t absolute garbage.
Fuck Samsung.
Yeah, that tracks with the other horror stories I've heard about Samsung appliances.
I'm in the same boat: only have them because they came with the house. I'd never have bought them of my own volition, and I'm both dreading and looking forward to the day they fail. Looking forward to is only so that I can replace them and stop worrying about when they fail.
