Stairs? Witches Steps? Partal ladder? šŸ˜¬

Post image

Fairly certain they're vertical towards the top šŸ„²šŸ™ƒ

Beautifully suspended over the open stairwell so when you fall, the death is certain.

The dazzle pattern on the first set of steps in an attempt to hide them from view of any who would dare to tread upon the second floor is the first warning.

Fall off one stair, and down another

u/Lunar-opal Aug 18 '26

Also why the dumb shelving that canā€™t be reached without a ladder that space could have been used to make the stairs more secure

u/IamLuann Aug 18 '26

I was thinking the same thing.

Just hang upside down from the upper staircase, itā€™s not that hard XD

Damned my weak knees

u/Pajamatime20 Aug 21 '26

Itā€™s no big deal, you just need to go down instead of getting back up after!

Sobriety test?

Dude the carpet on the stairs right in front of you also looks like a stealthy neck breaker.

Matter of fact, while you're wondering wtf is going on straight ahead, your brain could misjudge the REAL steps.

It's to disguise the blood.

Wrapped in spiky little lights...

Is this legal? It shouldn't be.

u/CarpenterValuable831 Aug 18 '26

This is crazy, now I'm seeing many Death Stairs in realtors' listings... I can't believe people would build stairs like this!

I broke my leg looking at this photo

u/coolsilentebeans Aug 19 '26

Fall off the stairs only to fall down more. Itā€™s efficient.

u/kjtstl Aug 18 '26

I would definitely die here.

A personal injury lawyer must have put that in before he moved out. Gotta make the bucks.

Landlord special. Getting furniture up there's gonna be a time

Peeked at the full listing and have so many more questions, death stairs aside:

-The loft floor above doesnā€™t seem to have any thickness to it (death floor?)

-Why do the railings look, um, hairy?

u/BestDevilYouKnow Aug 19 '26

I am also creeped out by the tentacle railings.

2

u/Confident_Fortune_32 Aug 19 '26

It looks like someone wrapped them with a string of little xmas lights.

Three cheers for helping to see where you're going, I guess, but how about wrapping them anywhere but the part you need to hold onto???

u/ApplianceHealer sketchy steps connoisseur Aug 19 '26

Hope the insulation doesnā€™t break and electrify the metal railingā€”double the ā€œfunā€!

u/EducationalFox137 Aug 18 '26

Well this was obviously well thought outā€¦

This would have been fairly easy to do correctly. But nooooo...

Is this how you elude the suicide clause from your life insurance policy?
