You would think that if someone was hired to do a job, they’d be qualified enough to do it. Well, that’s not always true. So don’t be surprised if you see stairs that make no sense or a fence that doesn`t actually protect anything because you can easily go around it!
1. “Just a staircase”
2. “The rare moment where front row seats are not ideal”
3. “Perfectly placed windows”
4. “The toilet in my hotel...”
5. “This chandelier at a restaurant I ate at bothers me so much.”
6. “Driveway’s done, boss! Let’s slide.”
7. “Air and water have been imprisoned for far too long...”
8. Well, just in case...
9. “More amazing turnstile placement”
10. “We got room 222 and stood there for a long time...”
11. “The garage door opens to the middle of the staircase.”
12. “These things hurt your elbows.”
13. For those of you who enjoy company:
14. “Just bought a new dresser...”
15. “Horrible cutout”
16. “I’ll take the stairs.”
17. “Built the staircase exactly as designed, boss.”
18. “Protection: 100”
19. “I have a question.”
20. Exquisite attention to detail
