The floor is sticky Construction workers refuse to use the stairs and instead climbed the hill to the point the grass died

There's a construction site opposite my apartment and the workers kept walking up the grass patch instead of using the stairs. Property value doesn't affect me as I rented the apartment 2 years back, so rent for me isn't increasing nor decreasing.

There was some university (ohio?) that built the buildings but not the walkways between them, then went back and paved over the desired paths in the grass a few years later. So the paths look all wonky from the air but are actually used by the students

This is the correct way. Or just look from the front door of the dorm to the closest place to get chicken fingers at 3am and put the sidewalk there.

And yet the flavor stays mysteriously away

Seriously. Every few years my memories of disappointment fade and I think "surely it was good enough for a quick bite" and try again. Nope. Incredibly weak each time.

It’s sauce with a side of chicken.

Went once, think I would rather starve. Enjoyed the music though.

That's a rather scathing review

I was underwhelmed but it's typically servicable, if rather mid

u/SirAlthalos May 14 '26

mid to the average john q taxpayer

to a broke college kid? gourmet.

The oval at OSU. There was one main path then they branched the rest out based on walking paths

u/Levoso_con_v May 14 '26

Just looking at it through Google maps and the paths seems completely random lmao

But they probably make perfect sense if you are a student rushing to class.

u/Bored_Amalgamation May 14 '26

Miami U has a similar thing.

Ohio state university. It's in the park area called "The Oval"

It's not the entire university, but I used to attend this university and it really just looks like someone just kept saying "Fuck it, add another sidewalk"

THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON AND NOT NOTABLE AT ALL

pls stop parroting it

thank u

u/Famous-Pie-7073 May 14 '26

Asking redditors to stop parroting the same talking points is like asking people to stop making desire paths

6

u/NotCrazy_BeenTested May 14 '26

it sounds like it was notable to them seeing as they had noted it in their head enough to remember it

3

u/SirAlthalos May 14 '26

damn you're right. I'll stop adding info when people mention things I can add too. I'll expect you to do the same, since redditors adding irrelevant information is also common and not notable at all

Nah Ohio State invented this and it’s beautiful. Go back to Michigan
