Ten stairs, including the bottom landing. What do I win?
The pedestrian crossing point actually seems justified. They probably decided to paint the lines as a warning to anyone who might otherwise use that space to turn around, or just to park. And with the peephole, I’ve got to assume that it was there before the window was installed. Granted, the peephole would have probably been in the center of the door if it was originally solid wood. But it might have previously had translucent glass, necessitating the peephole to see anything other than a vague outline.
I am a stormwater engineer. I would say 1 in 10 stormwater catchbasins are set with the rim higher than the surrounding pavement. It is a very common and frustrating problem.
Plus there’s the issue of sinking! It might’ve been lower when the asphalt was laid, but both the earth beneath settling, and erosion from leaking drains, made it sink around the more solid drain itself.
I’d bet some of these are fulfilling some moronic requirement of building code or regulation. Stairs? Must have handrail. Must have a bike lane here. That yellow gate probably was part of a fence. Need a bathroom, but don’t have room for both toilet and shower.
Could be for some, but code-compliant handrails are continuous, so that little thing doesn’t cut it by current standards. A few of these actually don’t meet US building code. Besides, if you’re required to do something, making it useless is pretty lazy.
I don’t get the golf ball one?
It’s camouflaged; golf balls are hard enough to find when they’re white.
It’s in a camouflage print traditionally meant for concealment.
When you loose that ball it’s gone forever.
Imagine trying to find it in the grass after you’ve sent it flying
It’s camouflaged, how would you find it?
What golf ball?
This is the correct comment
The golf ball is camouflaged. It would be difficult to find in the woods or out of bounds, where many balls end up.
It’s called satire.
No, it’s irony.
Actually, it’s dark humor.

My pedantry aside, this was a damn amusing list
I would fall down those stairs.
Yeah, you could probably do it if you’re completely sober, have decent eyesight, stable legs, and don’t take it too fast.
Anyone who isn’t all four of those things is buggered though.
So, in other words, you wouldn’t make it down those stairs, since your never sober.
Magma Scum.
I would probably fall down those stairs regardless of whether or not I was drunk or whether they had that carpet
The peephole one gave me an actual “lol”.

(Environmental Science major!)
So, approximately 10% ?
I can actually get behind the toilet-shower. Sometimes you need to hose your ass off after a ferocious poop.
That’s a visual I didn’t really need.
I didn’t laugh at any of these until I read your comment.

That stadium seat is 100% legit.
It’s called an “obstructed view” seat and there are worse ones than that.
NEVER get an obstructed view ticket.
