This is outside my apartment building, next to the car park. Is it a connector for a hose of some kind?

    It’s a water spigot with a removable handle so people can’t turn it on and let it run.
    The handle will go into the hole on front and the top piece is a vent that allows water that drains back from the hose to exit the spigot instead of reentering the city water supply.

            It’s even sadder that you a priori assume someone is having an emotionally difficult time just because they joke around.

              I didn’t say anything about emotional difficulty. I said I was sorry you’re dealing with whatever you’re dealing with, and left that open for you to fill in any blanks. I hope you’re having a good day 😀

                backpedaling are we? These “blanks” could either refer to having an emotional difficult time, or you pitying me by being different than you and viewing life through another lens. Not much else. Is that worth commenting on and in such manner?

                That or you just wanted to sound pretentiously preachy. I hope you’re having a good day “smiley face”

                  It’s not backpedaling to exactly quote a previous statement, and based on your command of the language, I think you know that. There’s a much more charitable interpretation of my statement that you’re not including: I know it’s hard to tell over text, but I genuinely wish you well. I wouldn’t have used the word pity to describe my observation of the fact that the universal human condition includes suffering, or “difficulty” of one form or another, though I suppose you’re right some sympathy (edit: which could be misinterpreted as pity) is required to relate to other human beings. Still, empathy is my preference. Is ‘sounds rough bro, have a good day’ so pretentious and preachy, or are you so cynical?

                  Since you seem to object to smileyface (and fair enough I suppose), I will simply say yes I am having a good day, and thank you for your well wishes.
