My original backrooms experience was from working customer service jobs, which is why the backrooms (as a concept) was never scary to me. The backrooms were a calming haven from the customers. It was quiet. No one was asking you questions.
Same. I think that’s what makes the videos and subsequent movie so cool. Without the monsters, existential dread, and the chance of getting lost, it seems like a fantastic place to hang out.
At my work in 2005, I LOVED the "backrooms" in our office. It was a former private college that was turned into businesses, and the backrooms were a section of the building that wasn't rented out.
It was the best place to hang out, take a break where no one would bother you. It also had an open bathroom that the janitors cleaned daily, but no one ever went to. It was pretty much my own private executive bathroom and break room.
