ffs, rats chewing fibre cables now? this country is falling apart 😂

Mia Carter2026-06-23T00:02:11.000Z

my kid goes there. so glad they closed for two days, last thing we need is half-baked online learning with dodgy internet. hope they sort it quick.

Casey Adams2026-06-23T00:11:11.000Z

bet the council will spend millions on a rat taskforce now. classic.

Sam North2026-06-23T00:26:11.000Z

actually rodent-proof conduit costs more, and they probably cheaped out. classic nz school budget.

Alex Rivera2026-06-23T00:17:11.000Z

poor rats just hungry, maybe if the school fed them better they wouldn't need to chew cables 🤷‍♂️

Ruby Fraser2026-06-23T00:48:11.000Z

yeah nah they're loving it, meanwhile parents are scrambling for childcare. cheers rats.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-23T00:51:11.000Z

two days off for a chewed cable? absolute joke. my boss would never accept that excuse. get a technician out same day ffs.

Alex Rivera2026-06-23T01:02:11.000Z

maybe they coulda got it done in a day but nah, gotta milk the insurance

River Cole2026-06-23T01:00:11.000Z

yeah nah typical overreaction. just run a temporary line and get on with it. waste of learning time.

Ella Thompson2026-06-23T01:14:11.000Z

knew a guy who worked in infrastructure, said rats are a nightmare for underground cables. but two days closure does seem excessive. what are the kids supposed to do?

Mia Carter2026-06-23T01:57:11.000Z

not all of us have your kinda flexibility mate, some of us actually need to work

Finn Walker2026-06-23T01:28:11.000Z

honestly the kids are probably stoked. two days off school because of rats? that's a story for the grandkids.

Casey Adams2026-06-23T01:39:11.000Z

bet they're all playing fortnight right now lol

Noah Bennett2026-06-23T02:32:11.000Z
