Fixed:
Is no one else going to talk about how weird it is to see a square manhole cover? Now there’s a risk of dropping the cover down the hole due to the shape.
It’s not a manhole, it’s way too small. But yeah not sure why it’s square. Could be European, they do weird stuff like that all the time.
Don’t be lazy.
Get a cable tie or some tongs, pull it out, rotate it, done.
Less effort than it took to take this picture and post it on here.
easy peasy. just lift the 100 kilo chunk of iron with some tongs. /s
- manhole covers are heavy af
- if improperly handled they can take your finger in an instant
- that square cover might be able to fall into whatever it is covering.
If that were an actual manhole you’d be right, but its obviously not.
There’s a risk that if you try to turn the square cover that the cover will fall into the hole. It’s really strange that it’s square and not round.
It’s really strange that it’s square and not round.
It’s not even slightly strange. These are incredibly common all across Europe and the world.
It’s a small cover, almost certainly to service the nearby drainpipe or perhaps for the water or gas connection to a house.
The chance of it falling in the hole is zero unless you’re trying to do it on purpose. Lift and slide, done.
And even if it does fall in, you can simply reach in and pull it out.
It would be worse if its the right direction but still the wrong orientation, seeing as the line is not centered.
