Look, I’m sure it’s very hard designing buildings and such. It’s not something I’ve ever tried to do because I do not know anything about it and I 100% would get someone killed.
But if you’re hiring someone to do it, maybe don’t go with the cheapest guy you can find on Craigslist, because that person probably didn’t go to “how to build stuff” school either, and he’s gonna make some choices that will destroy your mind and also your back.
Choices like these staircases.
30. Blending in
Now that’s what I call trippy.
Not a good carpet choice for stairs if you ask me

29. Stealth: 100
What kind of horrendous troll would do something like this?
28. Stair into the void
For the lemmings in your life.
27. Wood that I could
I’m sitting down and somehow I slipped while looking at this photo.
Stairs of Death

26. Handicapable
Ya’ll aren’t super clear on how wheels work, huh?
25. Hitting a wall
“City code says we gotta have stairs, doesn’t say they gotta go anywhere.”
In case of fire use stairs, they said. Do not use elevators, they said.

24. Over the line
Visual clues, people. VISUAL CLUES!
23. Step by step
It’s like a staircase made from the trays on a booster seat.
You don’t have to be drunk to fall down these stairs.

22. Falling for it
Cool design, terrible placement.
These aren’t stairs. They are decorative waterfalls. My friend walked into them and slipped, i laughed my ass off.

21. Watch your step
How many lives have been lost to this?
This flight of stairs outside a door is death waiting to happen.
byu/Vjaa inCrappyDesign
20. Form over function
“I’ll just put a bunch of crap on my tiny, railless staircase.” – someone with a death wish
For when you want a near death experience every time you use the stairs
byu/Peeped inCrappyDesign
19. Zigzag
Again, looks cool, terrible in practicality.
18. Sep up
Who is this for?
Man this hill is just too steep. Hold on a sec while I take the stairs
byu/Man-Sand inCrappyDesign
17. You’re cut off
What’s a blueprint?
16. Floating away
“It’s all good, I’ll just never go downstairs.”
15. Watch your head
You musn’t be this tall to go upstairs.
These stairs must be for pets and children only
byu/CapnRedbeard647 inCrappyDesign
14. Little dots
Wtf?
13. Roundabout
When the stairs are due today but you forgot to study.
12. Higher education
Not the most efficient use of space.
These stairs in a college I visited had people confused…
byu/N0t-a-Weeab00 inCrappyDesign
11. Oh joy
Why am I so irrationally angry about this?
These stairs in my sisters house are a joy to use

10. Losing it
Excuse me, you’re in my way.
Someone directed us to these stairs when we were lost.
byu/Magic_Dolo inCrappyDesign
9. Up and away
Yeah dude, you got ghosts in there for sure.
These stairs in a residence hall when I was in college. Always creeped me out. Poor quality due to camera phone circa 2009.
byu/rileyjw90 inCrappyDesign
8. By the foot
What kind if giants do you live with?
7. Stone cold
What sort of troll made this?
The one stair slightly shifted to the side.
byu/True_Duke_Of_Spook inCrappyDesign
6. The corner
Is this for time-outs or something?
5. Shut up
This is me trying to open up to anyone emotionally.
4. Face it
Who wanted this? Who asked for this?
3. Yipes, stripes!
What a trip.
Terrible floor to see the depth of the stairs.
byu/buxx inCrappyDesign
2. Shower power
Ah, the thing for nobody.
1. A new angle
Gross.
Nearly died carrying a box down these basement stairs
byu/BlackJPI inCrappyDesign
Remember – measure twice, cut once.
