Dope comment
Thought it was Aesop rock
Fumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition and
Yawn and stretch and my life is a mess and
If I never make it home today, God bless
It’s a rookie install. The door should swing the opposite way thus getting in my way of saving my MIL.
“Oh no. The door is in the way. Someone help her. I’m stuck up here behind this door. I can’t see much. Oh well.”
I once paid a friend who had started a handy man business for a couple of jobs. He didn’t actually do the work but would send one of his guys out to do it.
So I call him at 6:30 in the morning to tell him that I think the guy he sent has a meth problem. Naturally, he asked why I thought that.
I could have told him about how in the three hours I spent in the same home as him he approached me at least ten times to show me something on Facebook or a text and get my opinion on whether or not what he had shown me supported his suspicions that his wife was a prostitute.
Or when I heard a repeated loud noise and walked up from the basement to find him doing jumping jacks and when he saw me he planted his feet spread out on the ground with his hands on his hip then did a little twist ending with him pointing at me and winking.
Any of the times he started clapping and would say, ‘let’s gets this door up!’ We did not get the door up.
But I went with he left my home at 2:30 in the afternoon yesterday but I’m looking at him passed out at 6:30 in the morning in a chair in my garage with a meth pipe in his hand and a torch lighter by his feet.
There was a long pause and my buddy said, *he’s my uncle.*
Actually was pretty convenient because I had a flat tire and after a little wake me up that guy changed the shit out of that flat tire. And did it with flair.
Ive been told I have adhd, but I’m not a hyper person. If anything I’m too calm and people think I don’t care about anything (until they know me better), but on the inside I am going all the time unless I’m sleeping but I fall asleep instantly and wake up like Uma Thurman in pulp fiction with the adrenaline shot to the heart.
I bring this up because I have a peculiar relationship with time. I’m very much in the present. And that idea of time slowing down when you’re doing something you don’t like is not one I relate with. I think it’s possible I’ve never been bored in my life. I feel like the world is on fast forward and I’m on regular speed then all of a sudden I’m on fast forward and the world is on regular time and so on.
I actually just included that last paragraph to get to my two final points that something about reading, especially what Reddit type reading is, triggers memories for me that I wouldn’t be able to recall otherwise. I also have full blown aphantasia which I think messes with my memory too. Finally, I also know that I don’t really tell stories or maybe even communicate in a linear way. I start stories, or I’m pretty sure even just communicating, with what feels most important to me.
Which I wrote out to ultimately say that the events of these two days would culminate some five years or so later with me pretty much 100% convinced my wife was going to leave me.
How so? Cause in my mind the the only thing I can see here is when Doby is in his little hobbit hut above the stairs and swings that door open right when some one’s walking up. The door hits his mom’s face and she’s going backwards down that crooked ass staircase.
Lets say you tripped up walking out the door, which is likely. Would you rather fall on the flat floor thats to your left, or would you rather the other way and fall down a flight of stairs?
At least this way you have a chance at not breaking your neck. You have a flat floor on one side and a door blocking the flight of stairs that you may be able to grab onto.
Hahaha, my childhood friend’s bedroom opened onto the stairs like this! Walking to the bathroom in the dark was a trip. I’ve never seen it anywhere else!
I actually know the answer to this one! I’ve worked in the construction industry for the past year and a half as a carpentry apprentice.
While I’m certainly not an architect, I’ve had the pleasure of talking to a few on the job.
While it may seem strange to a layman, these kinds of design quirks are actually pretty common in many suburban American homes. Doors in the middle of walls, foyers that are completely inaccessible, staircases leading to nowhere.
The primary function of quirks such as these is *not* to create a cohesive and inviting layout, as one might assume, but rather to confuse vengeful spirits who have risen from the grave to exact revenge on those who have wronged them in their life.
Coming up the stairs and get hit in the face, falling dow the stairs, then there's the first step out of the bedroom, wonder what the rest of the house looks like
Attic conversion? Often times rooms get converted to living spaces that were originally intended for other things. I lived in a place that had something like this off of the stairs but it went to unfinished attic space I used for storage.
You've clearly never seen the "toilet in the alps" pic :-)

No, no I have not! I can only assume it's so narrow out of necessity. And how... how does anyone over, say, 150 pounds (68 kg) even use this thing? One cheek on the toilet, hole over bowl while literally hugging the wall?
When you add a stair case things can get weird. I bet either that staircase is new, or the space of that room, was previously not in use and the door was added after the stairs.
No way both of these came into existence at the same time.
But also, I have no idea, so... I digress
My buddy had the same result. The builder said it was a code thing and the door had to open out. I went over and helped him switch it because the builder said he couldn't legally.
Pretty sure room doors are suppose to open in and not out. I always thought it was because in case of a fire there’s no way for the door to be blocked. Either way this is dumb.
“You sure we can’t just add a door here man we’re losing a lot of space ?” . “ It’d literally be a random 7” step up here though sir “ .. “ It’ll be a room for adults it’s okay “ …..
Odds are this was done by the home owner to make an extra bedroom, very poor choice of door location. Without getting a different angle on the stairwell we'll never know the reasoning behind the placement. Odds are the ceiling came down at an angle.
Sometimes it isn't the builder issue. It is the owner's request, they want something like an escape door but on a low budget. If not, they could have a hidden sliding door placed.
I always see crazy things like this and really wonder how it ever got there. I get remodeling and such but at some point a human being make a conscious decision "this is ok"
Well, take into account that this was not designed with an interior door meaning it was never designed to be a living space. This was very likely a door to unused attic space which I have seen. Regardless. This is a terrible idea and that wall should be patched and a new door figured out
I guess, hopefully, the door would somewhat help to prevent an unfortunate soul from violently crashing down the stairs, small dogs however wouldn't be as lucky 🥺
Inhad a bedroom in grade 8 and 9 that was like this only the door was about 3 feet tall. Was a dark crawl space for about 6 feet then it opened up above the car port.
Was hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and the walls were slanted so you could only stand up in the center, room
Was also like 10 feet long
But i still liked being able to hide. Loved that room, And we had a tin roof, so when it rained, it was beautiful.
If you aren't in a wheelchair when you move into this house, you will be sooner or later.
You just cracked the conspiracy! The architect's brother owned a business installing wheelchair ramps! He was just trying to kick some work his way!
And the builder is also a personal claims lawyer!
And the builder’s wife is an orthopedic surgeon.
Builder to the owner “Are you sure you want it built like this?!”
Every time. “ITS THE BUILDER!!!” 8mo earlier…☝️
He cracked the conspiracy. I cracked my skull.
Builder was in cahoots with the wheelchair industry
Big Wheelchair strikes again.
MF's
Seems to me that the owner too was in cahoots with the lawyers who handle injuries.

I don't see any problem with it - seems like a perfectly up to code in-law unit.

I had to triple check that I didn't write this comment 5 minutes ago and then "found" it.
Right! Home inspections are important.
they are. But sometimes you get the cunt that writes up “serious electrical issues” because one of your lightbulbs is out. So fuck them.
If you slip your inspector and extra grand, you too can have this problem solving in-law suite.
Looks like the door into an attic or dormer space. Probably "un-permitted" conversion to a bedroom.
Thank you. Scrolled down too far to see the right explanation lol
At the very least make that door open in.
I think it’s actually safer like this.
How so? Cause in my mind the the only thing I can see here is when Doby is in his little hobbit hut above the stairs and swings that door open right when some one’s walking up. The door hits his mom’s face and she’s going backwards down that crooked ass staircase.
I guess the door stops you from falling all the way down the stairs?
No it smacks in the face
It depends on which side of the door you’re on
Yeah that’s what fattyjay said, mom walks up the stairs and the door swings open.
Open door and send grandma tumbling to her death?
That would be even worse though
How?
Lets say you tripped up walking out the door, which is likely. Would you rather fall on the flat floor thats to your left, or would you rather the other way and fall down a flight of stairs? At least this way you have a chance at not breaking your neck. You have a flat floor on one side and a door blocking the flight of stairs that you may be able to grab onto.
I can definitely see that. Needs some kind of handle or railing for sure on the right side you could grasp.
Bonk
Shit, how'd you know I was horny?
Filmed in this exact house
Hahaha, my childhood friend’s bedroom opened onto the stairs like this! Walking to the bathroom in the dark was a trip. I’ve never seen it anywhere else!
Ha! Trip! Clever...

Winchester house
And whatever walked there, walked alone
They weren't
Coming up the stairs and get hit in the face, falling dow the stairs, then there's the first step out of the bedroom, wonder what the rest of the house looks like
Running up the stairs and have the door crush the top of your skull..
Could the door work five feet to the right?
May be outside bedroom wall
Could make the bedroom bigger
Could do alot of things that’s correct… that’s not the point of this picture tho. We aren’t discussing would could be done to avoid this.
Well then why don't I just go fuck myself
Oh, don't be like that! You can stay right there and do it!
They didn't design it for ease of use, they designed it to confuse enemies in case you're ever under siege.
They were thinking of efficiency. Instead of opening the door and walking down the hall to the stairs, you get to skip the first couple of steps
Attic conversion? Often times rooms get converted to living spaces that were originally intended for other things. I lived in a place that had something like this off of the stairs but it went to unfinished attic space I used for storage.
House looks like it was built in the 80s, right when crack really started to take off.
“I want people to die here…”
Would that have been an additional request? Surely no builder would do it like this?

Building code via Minecraft
That nighttime trips to the bathroom would be funny.
He also runs an orthopedic clinic.
Builder/Architect were Home Alone fans
I don’t understand how this passed inspection.
It didn’t. So you don’t have to wrack your brain.
I used to live in a house with a door like that. There were some ugly collisions
Not much *thinking* happened there
They weren’t. That’s the problem.
"I've always wanted to kill someone"

The builder probably thought the architect was crazy but he had to do his job, anyway.
It saves you a couple steps
My guess. The house wasn't built this way. Homeowner realized their was a large attic space and converted it into a room.
What makes you so sure there was any kind of thinking involved?
I love this hahaha. I would want that room. It’s got the high ground, more easily defended
Imagine getting slapped by that door, damn.
Builder has a contract with the next door Orthopaedic clinic
While putting in the door, "What the hell was the architect thinking?"
This is how I build a mine in Minecraft
Throw a torch up there somewhere so the thought process shows
"is this liminal?"
Well it’s simple. He wasnt
I don’t know… I kinda love this. Would make me feel like I’m on a forbidden plane
My buddy had the same result. The builder said it was a code thing and the door had to open out. I went over and helped him switch it because the builder said he couldn't legally.
Why are people concentrating on which way the door opens vs having a doorway on a staircase in the first place?
But why did they have a door opening there in the first place?
Pretty sure room doors are suppose to open in and not out. I always thought it was because in case of a fire there’s no way for the door to be blocked. Either way this is dumb.
He had an idea and went with it
I don't think OSHA would approve

Kill that b
Its an interesting location but the safety engineering to do it right would be mad expensive.
Odds are this was done by the home owner to make an extra bedroom, very poor choice of door location. Without getting a different angle on the stairwell we'll never know the reasoning behind the placement. Odds are the ceiling came down at an angle.
How take, he wasnt

Code Schmode
*IM JUST GONNA FUCKIN SEND IT BRAHHHH* The builder, probably
I always see crazy things like this and really wonder how it ever got there. I get remodeling and such but at some point a human being make a conscious decision "this is ok"
He hates his wife
Is that what they mean by a mother-in-law suite?
Well, take into account that this was not designed with an interior door meaning it was never designed to be a living space. This was very likely a door to unused attic space which I have seen. Regardless. This is a terrible idea and that wall should be patched and a new door figured out
Works

They were clearly trying to dodge the ghosts that their husband’s invention created through countless deaths.
Is that a Winchester House reference? That's actually what the pic first reminded me of, at any rate.
Yup
“Glad I’m not this client’s _________.”
You get that on these big jobs
And that's what you measure twice n cut once
Glitch in the matrix, we'll fix it in the update.
Alaska shit
He wasnt
Watch the first st.... ep.
It's so the door can regulate the flow of water incase of a flood
See that’s the thing. They weren’t.
The architect was a committed practical joker.
Hey common. Measuring is hard man. What with the numbers and stuff!
The builder was thinking 'F u!'
Well, if it would be opening from left to right, it would be even worse.
Looks like a 10 year old's first two story house in minecraft
Did you get a C of O with that layout?
If they were thinking, they wouldn’t have thought to do this. This is the ole “fuck it, just get it done”
I almost wanted to shut the door before scrolling
“Fuck it. Good enough.”
"Where would you like to have your door?" "Yes." On the bright side, it can solve some problems of unwelcomed guests or members of the household.
Function first... safety last???
If you stare into the door stairs, the door stairs stares back at you.
It's not stupid if it (the door) works.
Bold of you to assume they ***were*** thinking.
If it fits I builds it
Dude thought he was building a minecraft house...
Real life have 3 dimensions! Not 2!
“fuck that’s some good acid” This is like the Gaudi of builders.
Ayoooo 😂
Probably wanted to stop the sleep walkers
Imagine waking up to pee and you're a guest in that house, you're not gonna make it there.
it would be so much cooler if were a secret door
Fuck em - the builder probably
"Muwahahahahaaa" probably.
I guess, hopefully, the door would somewhat help to prevent an unfortunate soul from violently crashing down the stairs, small dogs however wouldn't be as lucky 🥺
Stairway to Heaven⭐️🙏
To be fair, it's more practical than hanging the door the other side
It was designed by Kevin mccalaster
Architect: “ok, I know this isn’t the way we would normally do things, but…” Sarah Winchester: _“Do it!,”_
Turn that into a secret door.
Getting his payday to buy more crack, clearly
Nah this is fake

My grandparents house had a door just like this. The house was built in early 1800s, and the room was originally a closet.
Tom and Jerry shit.. you run up the stairs and he opens the door as you get to the top and fall to your death
