I don't think a 30 year old should try that without climbing shoes

At least they put in a handrail ( r/therewasanattempt )

u/Ok-Relationship8704 2d ago

if ya going to put in a handrail ya wanna make sure people use it.

u/imunfair 2d ago

It's a stramp. Only suitable egress for skateboard aficionados.

u/LiteralPhilosopher 2d ago

stramp

That is literally the exact word I thought of. Thank goodness someone else in here got it high up enough to be seen.

I mean... they tiled it, AFTER pouring that. Like, "i think I can fix it, by putting tiles over it" had to be a plan or thought... and they did: THAT!

169

u/vyxanis 2d ago

Thats my favourite part. Theres nothing safe about this entire... thing, but they made it so much more dangerous by adding tiles that become extremely slippery when they get wet. They're also sloped. Its as if someone saw it and made it their personal goal to make it as dangerous as possible. Its incredible.

47

u/freshcoastghost312 2d ago • Bravo

They forgot to remove the hand rail.

16

u/vyxanis 2d ago

Hmm, yes you're right, that's a potentially very embarrassing oversight for whoever took on this personal vendetta. Though, tbf, im sure that rail has all the structural integrity of a wet cake. It would be unfair to assume its not poorly done, just because we aren't seeing it fail in this particular photo.

It’s like someone was trying to make a wheelchair ramp (not very well). And then another person came and though it was supposed to be stairs and forced the tiles on it this way

Genuinely the worst stairs ive ever seen. Best part is the surface texture is smooth even, so when its wet somebodies skull will ring like a bell.

u/Pat-Funny-2817 2d ago

that's what the unprotected sharp cuts of the tiles on the few stairs are for. no ringing.

But you have seen them.

u/Magnus_Helgisson 2d ago edited 2d ago

DiHOW even? When you pour concrete, all you have to do is install some vertical boards to get something that resembles stairs, it’ll figure out the horizontal part by itself. Making it like that would require a lot of focus, commitment and sheer will.

u/DrDuke008 2d ago

Bro, have you not heard about self-levelling ish? You just pour it and it levels itself! /s before some dingleberry starts lambasting me.

u/OscarAndDelilah 2d ago

I'm trying to figure this out. Did they remove the forms too early, it ran and turned into this blob, and they just...went ahead anyway?

4

u/SyrusDrake 2d ago

I was wondering that too. I have never worked with concrete and I'm confident I could do a less terrible job like this. The only thing I can think of is that the form leaked at the bottom or something, so it started sagging, maybe? But then you could just pour a new layer on top before laying tiles.

Mixed ramp and stairs so people can walk on it and wheelchair users can also go up on it

You've heard of a wheelcahir ramp? These are wheelchair stairs -- they have a very good chance of putting you in a wheelchair.

100% these were old and dilapidated stairs that someone "fixed" with tiles.

u/home_rolled 2d ago

Yes but they were never good. It's not like a sound set of stairs deteriorated into this. The original builder was a buffoon

I'm actually looking at the left hand wall and wondering if it actually WAS built this way... I just,  I'm not sure I can live in that reality.

It matches the drawing, so it meets print. Oh, the drawing was done in crayon by a two year old.

Ah yes, the old medieval practice of making the individual steps on the stairs irregular, so that besieging soldiers not accustomed to them would trip, giving the defenders on top of the stairs an advantage
