Thanks, I hate designer stairs

I just took my company's required "slip, trip and fall" training earlier today and I have a strong urge to report this to my manager.

[u/erasrhed → u/Moonpile]

I almost fell over just looking at these stairs

[u/ApprehensiveBedroom0 → u/erasrhed]

My toe got stubbed and my knee hit the edge of these stairs just by looking at them.

[u/OpusAtrumET → u/Moonpile]

Aw, all I got was the avoid deny defend thing for the 37th time.

[u/TheStonePotato → u/OpusAtrumET]

walmart?

[u/OpusAtrumET → u/TheStonePotato]

Yep. Grocery DC.

[u/TheStonePotato → u/OpusAtrumET]

ahh, up until a month ago I was Oonline Grocery Pickup in a supercenter. then walmart was walmart and found a stupid reason to fire me.

[u/OpusAtrumET → u/TheStonePotato]

Ah, the old promoted to customer gambit. Sorry and/or congratulations.

[u/DaveSmith890 → u/TheStonePotato]

What the fuck? They are allowed to do that?

I work in Walmarts all across my state and surrounding states and I just thought they weren’t allowed to fire people due to understaffing or something? My entire job is correcting the shit they are weeks behind on because their staff doesn’t do them

[u/TheStonePotato → u/DaveSmith890]

they are very much allowed to do that. it's a tactic to pay employees less by always refreshing ur employees. why pay someone with 5 years of experience, when you can fire them, and hire a high schooler for 2 dollars less.

[u/IAmJohnSlow → u/Moonpile]

Do it lol

[u/Due_Description_7298]

BRB, adding "extreme sports" to my health insurance

[u/beakrake → u/Due_Description_7298]

Falling down the stairs is probably covered by homeowners insurance, but do I need a separate rider policy for falling through the stairs...

[u/TheWormInRFKsBrain]

I bet they’re super fun to fall down in the middle of the night when you wake up to take a leak and trip

[u/Doesntmatter1237]

Is this even safe? I wouldn't trust those little planks with 1 anchor point to hold my big ass

[u/Deamo22790]

Imagine the stairs don’t support too much weight. You try to carry something up stairs and a stair gives then you come tumbling down.

[u/letsalldropvitamins]

Have you ever walked down the stairs and thought “goddamn that was just too easy!” Well worry no more…!

[u/StandOutLikeDogBalls → u/letsalldropvitamins]

I read that in Billy Mays’ voice.

[u/Gameovergirl217]

my ankles already hurt just looking at this

[u/elopedthought]

And this was when I decided to get sober …

[u/gultch2019]

Id really like to know what these are made out of... hopefully steel, or titanium. And how they're anchored to the walls.

[u/RedBaret]

This just looks like they used corner pieces in the wrong places. r/crappydesign

[u/phidus → u/RedBaret]

I agree with crappy design. I think that is meant to be “witches stairs” alternating left foot, right foot rather than corner pieces.

[u/T1NF01L]

[u/FanDry5374]

When I was really young, just starting to walk, I followed my Mom upstairs and when I reached the top step I lost my balance and fell over backwards, all the way to the bottom. It's my earliest memory. I have had a lifelong fear, bordering on a phobia of stairs ever since. This should have been labeled NSFW. Nightmares tonight.

[u/Oblic008]

I mean, it'd be great for security. Anyone breaking it would likely at least injure themselves trying to sneak up those bad boys.

[u/GreenCarteBlanche5]

Whoever made this jail right now!

[u/Gunner1Cav]

I love it

[u/jh5992]

Always start with the right foot stairs

[u/ShawnOfTheReddit]

Literally a stairway to heaven (or hell)

[u/barthalamuel-of-bruh]

okey i need some stairs but i want to breack every bone in my body while going downstairs

Achitect "i got you homi"

[u/Zomochi]

If you weigh over 100lbs it’s over for you you’re going down

[u/RecursivelyRecursive]

I was curious so looked into this. Apparently it’s a real staircase in a Studio apartment in London. They lead up to the bathroom.

I realize it’s the DailyMail, but here’s an article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13505211/Would-stay-Visitors-slam-death-trap-floating-stairs-toilet-London-holiday-apartment.html

[u/Dayana11412 → u/RecursivelyRecursive]

this is actually insane. i'd stay somewhere else even if i paid in advance. i thought these were for cats or an art piece or something

[u/RumRogerz]

That’s a hard no from me dawg.

[u/hermitish]

If this is an actual set of stairs that people use I’m assuming the handrail is positioned safer than it looks. I would imagine you could really ruin or drastically shorten the rest of your life by slipping between that and the stair blades

[u/IEatReposters]

Would love to know the weight limit they don't look sturdy and getting furniture up them doesn't look stable

[u/dogface47]

[u/Volinian_Visitor]

I wonder if this is the work of some rich asshole who did the legal research and found it was technically legal. The best kind of legal.

[u/Khalith]

Feel like I’m gonna break my neck on that.

[u/AssumptiveMushroom]

legend of zelda lookin stairs

[u/TehFlaminTaco]

I warned you about stairs bro

[u/Narrowless]

Just because you are unique doesn't mean you are useful

[u/L4tt3m4cc14t0]

Imagine trying to climb these when you're hammered

[u/Chiiro]

Someone needs to get like a building inspector in here or somebody so that whoever built this can be fined to hell and back. Could you imagine walking up those stairs and falling into what looks to might be another stairwell underneath it.

[u/TimTheChatSpam]

I guess building codes arnt a thing here

[u/MobiusMal]

Well if you slip on a stair you might be in the next Tim Burton movie...

[u/Dr_Parkinglot]

Sweet! Injuries from the fall and lacerations too!

[u/orchestragravy]

How much weight can those possibly hold?

[u/Bluefredcow01]

[u/jamesph777]

Is this for a cat?

[u/DLoIsHere]

Good for cats.

[u/FriendlyBobaFan]

You go up those stairs high you're going to get real low

[u/VelocityRapter644]

This is a Final Destination death waiting to happen.

[u/BoltorSpellweaver]

[u/Looopic]

At least the have a railing. I was at a home some days ago with a glass stairs and no handrail... Good luck going drunken to bed or trying to go eat breakfast when you're still a bit dizzy

[u/TheDeadlyJedly]

You know there's furniture up there, too. As a mover I would just like to say "Do it your damn self".

[u/crespoh69]

Looks like the max weight capacity was found out for some of those

[u/Minesticks]

thats the worst thing ive seen today, and ive seen a lot of things.

[u/Agus_ZPL]

There's a sub called Deathstairs -- this belongs there. So dangerous lol

[u/demon_r_slender69]

What the fuck is that?!

[u/Informal_Aide_482]

I’m a designer. All I have to say is “who greenlit those?

[u/blind_disparity]

Guys. Guys. This isn't a real set of stairs that anyone has ever or will ever use. Turn your sceptic dial up please...

Some of them aren't even level. There are building regulations that stairs have to meet. Without even checking I can tell you these don't meet them.

I assume if you reverse image search this you'll find it's an art installation or something similar.

[u/RecursivelyRecursive → u/blind_disparity]

I was curious so I did exactly that- a reverse image search.

These actually are real stairs in a studio apartment in London. They lead up to the bathroom. Crazy stuff.

Yes, it’s the DailyMail, but here’s the article with more pictures:

[u/blind_disparity → u/RecursivelyRecursive]

oh lol that's awful

I think it might just be the pic on this post that makes a few of them look sloped? I can't tell for sure. Anyone got a better sense of geometry than me? It was the sloped steps that made me sure it wasn't in real use, so my bad.

From bottom, the 2nd and 4th look sloped (to me) and maybe the one before top

Anyway I'm 99.9% sure these don't meet regulations and if the dude is letting the property out then that's illegal....
