Wait, did they just re-key the same lock cylinder? That's like putting a new coat of paint on a broken fence! I totally agree with @gracethomas, that's a huge security risk. I'd go back and jiggle the key in front of the super until they get a whole new lock.

Sounds like you spent ten years polishing a butter knife. A coarse edge bites where a smooth one just slips.

Honestly, this whole thing reminds me of how many "helpful" habits are actually just busywork. Like rinsing every container until it's spotless, which wastes more water than the recycling saves. We get so focused on the feeling of doing good that we miss the real system.

My old manager in Phoenix did that three times in one month. I finally printed out his original email with the instructions and brought it to our one-on-one meeting. He got real quiet and said he would try to be more clear, but the habit never really changed. It made me feel like my personal time meant nothing to him. I learned to keep a paper trail after that.

Wow, I read that minimalism is actually trending for planners now.
