  • From your comments it sounds like this is Europe? In the US, 3-phase residential is rare - usually limited to large apartment buildings.

    Usually what we have is a “split phase” system, where it comes in at 240v and a local ground is used to divide it into two 120v legs.

    BTW if you ever move into a house where someone has put outdoors on the same rcd as the rest of the house, then do yourself a favor and get a separate combo rcd/fuse for outdoors.

    It varies by state, but some states have requiring outdoor outlets to be on a separate breaker or GFCI (RCD) outlet already, for just this reason.



  • Before my time, but they tell tales of the “Phantom Shitter”. Someone had… issues, physical and/or mental, and would leave streaks of waste both going to and from the bathroom. Very liquid waste. Sometimes stepped in. “Phantom” because initially no one knew who was doing it. They just found the results. Eventually he was found out, sent home for a bit, and then fired when it happened again after he came back.

    Since I worked there: Guy came in for an interview. I don’t know if he was already having a bad day or what, but he got upset that his first interviewer wasn’t there to greet him at the front door. It escalated, rapidly, leading to threats of violence, an arrest, and a couple of cops searching his car.
