@philmcardle9031 You obviously didn't do your research, because if you read my replies to the comments left by other people, then you'll see that the comment you made was one of ignorance. That wouldn't be a first in this comment section...lol. Instead of once again repeating myself, I'll refer you to the comment section below. It's a good read, and it'll get you up to speed.

@scifibri2376 I guess it's a good thing you didn't snore...lol. If that happened at one of the storage centers where I worked, I would have noticed the closed and unlocked door, and I would have come knocking on the door. A closed, unlocked door is a red flag.

@Tribulation_Harvest True. But sometimes I would have the door open and had a photo album in my lap as a prop. Or a baseball card collection and transferring baseball cards from a plastic container into the plastic sleeves and had a built in story of falling asleep. Mostly during the day and out by dusk. Staying away for days or weeks at a time helped by couch surfing or taking long bus rides on Megabus lol. Never would I eat or take birdbaths in bathrooms. But I was lucky to have other 24hr places to go to and couch surf. But people in these videos cooking food are jerks because that's dangerous. They're obscene & narcissistic imo. Great video btw!

@@scifibri2376 It's true that other people's actions can be dangerous, but as far as coming across a unit where someone has fallen asleep while in the middle of relaxing in a recliner, I personally would have given them a warning, because sleeping in a unit, as far as we were concerned, was the same as living in the unit. It was frowned upon. You got away with it, though, so that was an accomplishment.

@@maritzaacosta3391 We did our walk throughs daily.

@Tribulation_Harvest so did we, but I am talking about a torough walk thru. Not just walking the each floor and hales bur checking every single locks, storage status, security stickers etc. I ran a 2200 unit storage building.

@@maritzaacosta3391 Actually, I did a thorough walk through every day, and that included a building wide safety check, inspecting each and every lock, red locking unpaid units, etc... Each unit has a bar code affixed to it, so I would scan and inspect each and every storage unit. I was on top of things.

@@nuclearthreat545 Yes... yes I did. 😁

Hey Adam. Well, you certainly had a lot to say on a subject you know little about. I have no idea how tough it is bring homeless and living on the street? You obviously haven't read any of the comments (and my replies) below, because if you had, you'd know that I was homeless for a while, so I know a thing or two about how rough it is out there. I don't know how you gained the knowledge from every single person living in a storage unit to say that none of them expect to get away with living stealth in a storage unit. From my experience, it's their hope that they NEVER get caught. Also, your suggestion that no one would get fired for not "noticing" anyone living in their unit is not completely true. I'm a Christian, so I don't lie, which means if my manager asked me if I knew that someone was living in their unit, I'd have to tell the truth and admit that I knew. But that situation would never arise, at least not with me, because I wouldn't allow that situation to exist once I found out someone was living in their unit. You seem to think I have no heart, but what you don't seem to comprehend is that I have hundreds of other customers to be concerned about. People who live in their units are a potential danger to others and themselves by potentially becoming a risk for fire, crime, overdosing, human smuggling, biohazards, etc... I've explained this over and over again, so I'm not going to go into any great detail about it here. Please read the other comments. Your account is new to KZbin, and you have absolutely no content on your channel. I think you should create some content for your own channel before hopping over to someone else's channel to leave negative remarks that don't reflect the true nature of the situation. Thank you for watching the video and for giving your feedback. My stats thank you.

@@moriversoap I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm still working out the cobwebs after my very long hiatus. Just like you saying that you've forgotten a lot of sewing basics, I've forgotten some of the basics of making videos, but it's slowly coming back to me, including the editing bits. I actually recorded two videos back to back, so the second one should be out next week. I'm trying to space them out. Speaking of sewing, you may be due for a new machine. When I purchased my latest one, I stayed away from electronic styles because I only needed a "heavy duty" machine that just had the basics. Take care, and thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment! It's much appreciated! 😁👍

As long as you're not in violation of your contract, you can come and go as you please.

That won't work. There are still a lot of red flags that go up when someone's living in their unit. Also, if I were to look in the top of a unit and see a tent set up, then that would raise a huge red flag.

I've done exactly this! (Except not the tent part.) Why have a tent in a unit? But not when this guy's on the prowl! Nothing gets past him! He's going beyond alright lol. What a fuckjng loser for caring about the wrong thing. Could you imagine working with this guy? "THERE'S SOMEONE LIVING OUT OF THEIR UNIT!" "We know Jeffrey! We've just been pretending not to because we're chill like that."

@glennerd3125 I guess that's at least one difference between you and me. I take great strides to live by my ethical standards based on scripture, and in being a man of character.

@kellychiobioma7738 Thank you for your suggestion. If you could be more specific about what bias statements I made in this video, I'd be more than happy to address them. If my content isn't your cup of tea, then please feel free to block my channel so that none of my content will show up as a suggested video.

Actually, you're more likely to get caught living in your self storage unit if you're sleeping there during the daytime when staff is there.

@@Tribulation_Harvest Very good point.

I have news for you too, my friend. If the staff or management cared enough, they'd do a walkthrough of the inside of the building as well. The fact that they're not taking the time to do that shows me that they're not putting much effort in ensuring that no one's living there. They're just being lazy about it, so you're not really "getting away" with anything, they're just not putting in the effort to ensure that no one's living there. If I was working at that facility, I'd be doing several walkthroughs a day. Also, there are more red flags other than spotting an extension cord. I don't think you'd last long there under my watchful eye...lol. 🕵 Oh, and the fact that they don't even do a walkthrough of the inside of facility at least once a day for a safety check is a bit concerning.

Well, technically the squatters are abusing a loophole in the law, and the fact that you use the word "steal" shows that you think it's wrong, just as I do. People living in a storage unit are breaching their contract with the company, violating company policy, violating local and state law, etc... which is also wrong. Yes, they pay for the use of their storage unit, but fair use is defined within the contract that they signed. Their signature is their word that they'll abide by those terms.

🤣🤣🤣

I can't speak for all big chains, but part of my job as a custodian was to do a formal safety walkthrough daily, including checking the locks on all storage units. I'd also keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary as I performed my daily tasks. We didn't have any after hours staff, but we did have a security company monitoring the building electronically, plus the swipe card system kept a log of who swiped in and out.

Well, it's not legal to live in an office space, either.

Maybe not but yoi can live there anyway and no one cares they just think you work alot .. i did it​@Tribulation_Harvest

You may wish to review the other comments, and my responses, in this comment section. Then you'll better understand my thoughts on the matter.

Thank you. 😁👍

In my community, emergency shelter is offered to all the homeless on those bitter nights where someone could "freeze to death." As far as being a decent human being, that's all subjective. The type of behavior you consider decent may not seem decent to others, hence your disagreement with me on this matter. I'm sorry you got upset, but perhaps you should direct those feelings towards the community at large that feels no great need to solve this issue themselves. What progress have you made and what effort and personal sacrifice have you made in your own community to end homelessness? If the state ever got wind of a storage facility that was purposely allowing people to sleep in their storage unit, the business would be shut down. So now we're talking about hundreds of customers who would have to vacate their storage units, some of whom live out of state, live in other countries, or are serving in the military. Having someone living in a storage unit is against policy, is a liability issue (could lose insurance which would cause the business to close), a biological hazard, a personal safety hazard, a fire hazard, invites crime, is in violation of local and state health laws, etc... So, knowing all that, you can see why a storage facility must refrain from allowing customers to live in their units. Also, the facility is closed at night, there are no security guards, and only critical areas are monitored by cameras in most cases.

@@Tribulation_Harvest Personally I work for an animal rescue shelter. As for homeless people, in my country we are urged to report anyone sleeping rough when the weather is freezing. If I was in your position though, I certainly wouldn't kick them back out on the street. Do you really want to be responsible for the death of another human being?

@@GothicKittyMadness I don't kick them out. I report the situation to management and make a note in their account file. After that, it's management's responsibility to decide how they're going to handle the situation. If we allowed someone to sleep there and they slipped and cracked their head open, no one would be there to help them and they could be seriously injured or die. Then what? Or, they could be cooking in their storage unit and accidentally start a fire, which could cause their death, the deaths of others, and destroy the sometimes irreplaceable belongings of others. I could go on and on. I worked in self storage for 5 years. I've seen and experienced a lot.... Fire hazards, biological hazards, drug use, prostitution, etc... This is why no one is allowed to sleep in their storage unit. Besides, I've moved on and no longer work in the self storage business.

I'm going to suggest that you read through the comment section, as well as the content creator's response, before you leave a negative comment on anyone's video. You'll often find that your concerns have already been addressed in the comments section. Also, when someone needs to resort to name calling ("storage unit cop"), then that just weakens their side of the argument.

@@1Maddd2mackxxx Well, it's not a podcast, so I don't know why you're calling it that. Secondly, I'm not limiting your freedom of speech. I'm suggesting that before leaving a comment, you actually do a little research and peruse the other comments to see if your complaints have already been addressed so that you're not just repeating what someone else has said and to which I've already responded. The only limit I have to speech is that no foul language is used (those get immediately deleted). Lastly, although your comments may not breach the community guidelines, this is my channel and I have the authority to delete comments and to block anyone I choose. So, before getting snarky, perhaps you should understand that commenting on my videos is a privilege, not a right, and I have the option of taking that privilege away. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for leaving a comment. The more comments you leave, the better my stats, so again, THANK YOU! 😃

@@Tribulation_Harvest You are SO full of yourself FROM NOW ON OUT I'LL DELETE YOUR VIDEOS BEFORE I WATCH IT LMMFAO 😆😆😆😆😆

Well, you wouldn't be renting it from me, you'd be renting it from the company, and I've long since left that job. 🙂

Stewart Little...Pork Chop... pick one and stick with it...lol 😂 Thanks for giving me a chuckle and helping boost the stats on my video. Much appreciated. 🥰

I worked in self storage for 5 years. I just lay out the facts. 😘
