Why, that’s quite the charming balcony, isn’t it? Nice railing, a good size, and the windows around it have a nice look to them, too. But…there’s something missing. We’re having a little bit of trouble putting our finger on it, but we feel like it’s just not finished yet. Like they didn’t make something right, or forgot to add something.
Well, whatever, we’ll figure it out while we’re sitting after a long day of work, with a nice glass of tea in our hands and the sun on our face. Or maybe we’ll enjoy it during the morning, getting prepped for a big day, enjoying a sip of coffee and a crossword puzzle before we bend to our tasks. Yeah, that sounds pretty nice. One way or another, we can’t wait to enjoy this balcony.
Apartment Tunnel
As weird as this may look, we wouldn't really call this a fail. If you absolutely love and trust your neighbor, why not give them 24/7, easy access to your apartment?
Pretty convenient if you ask us. Are there any family members or friends you'd build such a thing with?
We Don’t Understand How it Was so Hard
Seriously, how did this happen? We don’t know if it was the tree planter who messed up or if it was the people who were in charge of creating the path and planters, but somebody really dropped the ball. And it wasn’t just once, either! The tree in the foreground was put in the wrong spot, but the tree that’s farther back is also in the wrong spot!
Somebody REALLY dropped the ball here. The only thing we can think of to make some sense of this is those open spots are where new trees are going to be placed. But we don’t think the already-established trees are going to be moved. It’s pretty tough to get trees that have taken root, especially if they’re under all that pavement.
Washing the Benches
Benches and a whole lot of water don’t usually mix, but we feel like this kind of thing might actually be intentional. When it rains, this spout dumps the water down onto a bench...which we guess is what happens to most benches when it rains. We don’t know how this little combination happened, but it probably wasn’t intentional. Water pouring onto that specific spot for so long is going to wear the bench out unevenly.
Even if this wasn’t intentional, why would the water spout pour the water onto the street like that? Does it then flow into a gutter and from there into a sewer? Perhaps, but we can’t see it in this picture. Of course, if you’re sitting out in the rain, you're getting wet one way or another.
Elf School
There are a bunch of old schools that have these strange half-doors that are jammed up into the ceiling. As a child, you might think that they’re in that place so the janitors could get up to the mechanical parts of the school – the heaters, the air conditioning, even the elevators, or things like that. But, apparently, there are a lot of schools that just have these doors as walls just jammed up into the ceiling.
Sometimes the building was just made incorrectly. There are tons of school buildings out there that were kind of thrown together in order to make more room for the kids that were entering the school system. Thankfully, this little thing does nothing to make learning harder or more difficult, and they give the school a good amount of character, too.
