I Refuse to Give This Level a Proper Name is the worst Level of the Backrooms. It was unfortunately discovered on 8/4/2021 by an anonymous individual who probably regrets doing so.

This Level cannot get anything right for the life of it.

Description:

Level Dumpsterfire is a huge mistake in every way possible, it goes on for way too long and whenever you think this Level actually does something right…it just ends up disappointing you.

Appearance-wise, Level Annoyance Personified looks like a typical university campus that covers a 7km² area. The Level itself is devoid of animal life and has a completely normal day-night cycle similar to that of the Frontrooms. By all accounts, it should be completely habitable but it simply isn't. This Level has a multitude of anomalous properties that make it impossible to live in for more than a few days, for instance:

The likeliness of stubbing your toe increases ten-fold when you enter this Level, whereas the chances of finding a rock in your shoe increase two-fold.

It is not recommended to walk around barefoot as the likelihood of a LEGO® brick spontaneously appearing right where you place your foot is too great to be chanced.

Upon exiting any building, there is a small chance that your socks will suddenly become wet as if you stepped into a puddle. No puddles will be present, however, and for an unknown reason, the outside of your shoe will remain dry.

Elevators always take too long to arrive on your floor to the point where taking the stairs is actually faster. Additionally, there is a small chance that pushing any button in the elevator will result in all present buttons being pushed.

Speaking of which, stairs always seem to have one less step than what you think, even if you look down at your feet.

Unintentionally tripping in this Level is not possible, but near-tripping occurs on a near-constant basis.

Wi-Fi is present throughout the entire Level and the signal seems strong, however, lag is consistently present which leads to longer loading times. Additionally, ad-block is seemingly non-existent.

The chances of your computer crashing increase exponentially based on the importance and the amount of time you spent working on it since you last saved it.

Any headphones found in this Level will only ever have one working side. However, tests indicate that holding the headphone wire at a certain angle or turning the jack sometimes results in both sides working, though this is a rare occurrence.

Beds found in dorms seldom result in a good night's sleep. No matter what number or combination of pillows you try it will always seem like they are stacked either too high or too low.

Meanwhile, blankets are oddly weighted in such a way where they will always fall to one side of the bed and leave a good portion of your body exposed.

Waking up after any duration of sleep usually results in one of your nostrils being clogged for some inexplicable reason. This effect usually takes a few hours to clear up.

Any food ordered at a cafeteria will either result in a notable component missing from the meal or a completely wrong order that is composed of your least favourite food(s). Thankfully, dietary restrictions are seemingly noted on this Level so if you have a life-threatening allergy, you need not worry about it.

Unfortunately, if you have a non-life-threatening allergy (i.e., pollen allergy or milk allergy) you will be subjected to the effects of such an allergy when exposed to the allergen. Additionally, the allergy symptoms will last twice as long.

Any food containing bones, particularly fish, will always result in the first bite you take having a bone fragment in it…no matter how careful you are in terms of removing bones.

Even though the cafeterias found on this Level are able to produce cooked meals without the presence of any staff, there will always be at least one hair found in your food. The length and type of hair tends to vary with each meal.

Attempting to shoot a spherical object into a basket of any sort (i.e., a basketball into a basketball net or a wadded up piece of paper into a waste bin) will result in a miss 99% of the time.

Showers on this Level never produce any hot water, just lukewarm water which decreases in temperature the longer you shower. Additionally, shower curtains seem to be extra clingy and soap bars are more likely to slip out of your hands.

If you try to wash your hands in a washroom you will quickly find that nearly all soap dispensers are out of soap. Usually, there will only be one dispenser that barely has enough soap for a good wash.

No matter how careful you are with washing and drying your hands, you will always exit the washroom with soggy sleeves despite your sleeve length.

Vending machines do not require any money, however, there is a 90% chance that your selected drink or snack will get stuck. Attempting to select another item to free the first item will result in both items getting stuck 60% of the time.

Any bags of chips found on this Level will contain a higher air-to-chip ratio. Likewise, sodas tend to become less carbonated faster, if not already lacking in carbonation.

Although this Level is devoid of animal life, the sound of insects buzzing can be heard in outdoor areas and next to your ears during nights whenever you try to sleep. Some wanderers have reported feeling these non-existent insects land on their skin.

Handling paper of any sort (i.e., sheets of paper, books, posters, etc.) almost always results in at least one paper cut.

Symmetry in this Level is not possible, therefore, floor tiles, wallpaper, and artistically arranged objects will always be slightly off-center. If you try to center asymmetrical objects there is a 100% chance that you will make it worse.

All doors in this Level creak when opened or closed and windows can either never be fully closed or are permanently stuck.

Pencils will always break when you attempt to use them on your first try and sharpening them takes approximately half of the pencil's length to accomplish.

Likewise, most pens you find are empty and those that do have ink run out of them after 50 seconds of use.

At least one of your fingers will always have a hangnail at any point of time.

If you encounter a pillow at any point, both sides will always be warm.

No matter how you position your body, you will always be slightly too uncomfortable to sleep.

Entities

There are no entities on this level because even they can't stand it much more than wanderers can.

Bases, Communities, and Outposts

Any base, community or outpost that was here has already skipped on to another level… you probably should too.

Entrances And Exits:

Entrances

You can't be serious. After all of that, you still want to go to this Level? Trust me, you don't want to do that. However, if you're looking to avoid this Level, do not, I repeat, do not:

Try to free a stuck vending machine snack by jostling the machine in either Level 4 or Level 6.1.

Find and touch a high school diploma on Level 117.

Fall asleep on the bus found in Level 147.

Sit in front of a Faceling and lean your seat back way too far on Level 36.1.

Mock the artwork in Level 57 by calling it "garbage" or "trash".

Stick gum underneath the tables in Tom's Diner on Level 1.

Exits

The only saving grace this Level has is having an accessible and dependable exit. To exit, you must give in to your frustrations about Level Irritation Station and start venting about any inconvenience this Level forced you to face. Once you reach peak irritation during your rant you will immediately be transported back to the Level you entered this one from.

Wanderers who have exited this Level report feeling instantly relieved once they realize they are no longer in this infuriating Level.
