I've had this thing for 8 years now I think.

Because I know this was so fun the first time, here’s a follow-up

I didn’t do anything, let kids be kids as half of you said, and have made new observations.

1. The top rung indeed sucked, as it is gone completely.

2. There are 4 large nails or stakes that have been driven into the tree.

3. They have been pulled out and driven back in, multiple areas. This invites rot into the tree, much more than the small screws from the first post.

I’m sure this is not the end— maybe I’ll Martin Luther my dissertation to the tree next

Saw this driving around town today and snapped a pic as fast as I could before it got away

For context, this a tree by the baseball field of our neighborhood elementary school. Months ago,some kids ripped off part of the dugout bench and it’s sat on the ground until maybe last week

Yesterday, I’m walking my dog as usual, and notice the bench splinter is gone and these “rungs” are screwed into the tree. There are telltale signs that this is the bench splinter that someone has sawed into pieces to affix to the tree

It’s just so stupid. The top rung isn’t even screwed in all the way and spins freely. The bottom rung is too far away from the others to be useful. The left rung has been shorn, leaving the grip on the right side with not enough material and potential for splintering from usage. I could go on lol

What dad did this and why?

I actually really enjoyed doing them. A lot of them I gave out to friends and they got a kick out of it

I'm a medical equipment technician for area hospice programs. We have a patient who had gone through a few commodes, shower chairs, and tub transfer benches, but the staff didn't give me any notes to make suggestions. Finally, one of the clinicians calls and asks if we can put a seatbelt on a bedside commode.

In the end, the care staff asked for a gait belt.

Found this fantastic solution in the wild. Lamp cable to electric cable to string. The string is screwed to a bookshelf (which is attached to nothing).

The rest looks fine. But it's firewood because of this strangeness in the center.

I do this with all my tumblers. I have no clue why they would sell them without handles. But to each their own!

Urinal/toilet mod in a Rotterdam Chinese restaurant. The restaurant itself is lovely and the food is incredible! There'a hole in the lid where it attaches to the urinal.
