20 Epic Stair Design Fails That Are Disasters Waiting To Happen

Ah, stairs. The birthplace of scraped feet and sprained ankles. Stairs have been useful for humans since their invention, and until now, we have never ceased to use them. Although some alternatives have been made like elevators and escalators, which, by the way, are just moving stairs, stairs have remained our basic medium for going up and down a building.

Despite being a thing for centuries, sometimes, we humans can fail to design a decent one, like the stairs we present to you below. Scroll down to see our collection of 20 stairs that are just a disaster waiting to happen. Don’t forget to tell us which one is the best!

Comics are a great form of literature. Their images and dialogues sometimes make them easier to navigate than traditional novels. Also, it’s easier to go into the flow than most books. You could also see the character’s feelings and actions rather than trying to imagine what’s going on.

Like most literature, a memorably good story ends with a plot twist. Below are 20 comics by the artist SpaceBoyCantLOL where he drew about some regular and absurd human interactions. However, how things turned out wasn’t what you would expect.

We featured some of SpaceBoyCantLol’s previous works before, check them out here!
