This baby boom barrier has a lot of growing up to do and perhaps is overreaching a little. While this is a total failure on the part of the supposed security company that put this there, we can’t help but notice that this is indeed adorable.
You’re doing a great job, little one, maybe one day you will actually be able to stop a car.
The Stairs to Nowhere
We’re told that these stairs were added to a house or some other building due to the simple desire for symmetry. There were stairs on the other side of the room that wound up the wall in the same way, moving in the opposite direction, and the people who built the house just could leave it without mirroring the steps, even though they don’t actually lead up to anything as far as we can tell.
Maybe there’s an attic up there or something like that. There’s obviously no kind of traditional landing to this staircase, which is the sort of thing that newer houses never have. No staircases going nowhere, no tiny bathrooms crammed into corners. There’s something really nice about those old homes and how bad they were made sometimes.
Well Placed
Talk about an indispensable soap dispenser and the weirdly placed hand dryer. At least there are two functional soap dispensers over there, with that unnecessary third one just hovering over.
It sort of looks like it's the third wheel that never quite fits in. We give this one an F in bathroom design.
Tap Shower
There is no use for water to run onto the handle of a faucet. Think of all the crazy watermarks, and just the general pointlessness of it all.
We've seen some real fails when it comes to bathroom designs, yet it seems that this one takes the cake for creativity. One really had to go out of their way to come up with this one.
In the Way
We’re not going to get on here and say that properly designing a building to be super safe and follow all the codes and things like that is easy, but is there really no way to avoid this? This building, whatever it was (we’re thinking an apartment building of some kind) wanted to have a bunch of those angled white pillars, but they angled all over the place, including right through this walkway.
Maybe the building needed them because of structural issues, but it’s a lot more likely that one team built the supports, and then a second team came in and realized they needed to build a walkway right through them. It looks like it’s still a viable path, but it’s the kind of thing that people who use it make fun of every time.
