It seems like the person responsible for this confusing staircase may have been a Harry Potter fan. But their construction, unfortunately, didn’t turn out to be nearly as magical as the ever-shifting Hogwarts stairs! We can imagine the “delight” of the residents as they go through the daily ritual of heading down, then up, and then down again.
We’re getting exhausted just thinking about it. Imagine delivering a new fridge or, even worse, a new corner sofa that won’t fit in the elevator. There is no way anybody is getting a new sofa here.
Irrelevant Deco
There are some designs that have no logic behind them. Take this next one, for example. We understand that many hotels, Bed & Breakfasts, and even private houses may have a brick wall built right next door, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Excpey, emphasize it by placing a window in front of it.
So what do we suggest? We suggest leaving the wall (facing the brick) as it is, do not add a window, do not buy an over-decorated curtain that will draw even more attention, do not pass go, and do not collect two hundred.
Lowest spot
To the person responsible for this drain: have you heard of a little thing called gravity? Surely, this is the first thing they teach you when you’re learning about drain placement. One thing’s for sure; the engineering department should fix this drainage problem before the flooding gets worse.
This could also be a result of global warming. Did you think countries were flooded because of too much rain and ice melting? You are wrong. Global warming is people's brains getting overheated and designing things like this. If only these designers had listened, the world would have been better.
Cruel Design
A handicapped person’s life is tough; that’s why there are dedicated bathrooms designed to make life a little bit easier for them. Unfortunately, when not enough thought is put into these designs, the opposite effect can end up being achieved. This particular example is unbelievable. Have a close look at the bottom of the door.
Surely, given the fact that the handicapped symbol depicts someone in a wheelchair, it would act as a hint that stairs aren’t an appropriate feature. We’re sure this restaurant has received its fair share of complaints about this construction failure.
That’s One Way to Solve a Problem
What to do when you have a fire hydrant installed where you need your stair rail to go? Definitely not this! Sure, the curved railings fit perfectly around the hydrant. Can’t fault them there. But we’re dying to know what their plan of action is if they ever need to actually use the hydrant.
Here’s hoping that the building has an eternally fire-free future, and we are also hoping to find out what came first, as we have a feeling the obvious may not be the right assumption. You would have thought that the rails were installed after the fire hydrant, but what would you say if we told you it was the other way around? People are more useless than you can ever imagine.
