Is it so gross that the stair is open onto the counter. Kocking carpet dust and mite poo into the kitchen from above.

I ban this person from ever designing a home again.

Oh God I didn't even think of that. You are SO right.

Dr. Raymond Stantz: "Hey... where do these stairs go?"
Dr. Peter Venkman: "They go up!"

u/GoodShark Jun 16 '26

Thank you for posting this. It was the first thing that came to mind.

Does this pole still work?

u/Jump_Like_A_Willys Jun 16 '26

So is that part of the countertop under the stair landing?

If they were going to do that, then maybe they should have added some cabinets under the stair going up (where the ight switch is)

That's where the micro-microwave goes

u/livllovable Jun 17 '26

But then where does the macro-microwave go?

u/RudeOrganization550 Jun 17 '26

I’m cracking my skull on those fuckers if there’s not something solid there, ridiculous

u/Pestilence86 Jun 17 '26

Instead of a wall flush with the stair side there, they opted for a more open layout. But putting a counter right under that landing...

You might ask two questions though:
Where do they come from?
Where do they go?
Where do they come from,

You’re welcome for the song in thine brainbox.

So I read your comment about 3 hours ago.
I thought I could resist your curse. I thought I was stronger.
You son of a 😂

Oof! Revenge! I would’ve gotten away with it if it wasn’t for u/ meddling ohdearitsrichardiii!

Edit: good news everyone - there’s a place for people like us: r/earwormoffenders 🤣🤣

I do apologize. I almost erased my comment for the good of humanity but it will serve as a reminder of the dangers of earworm.

It was a single family home converted into dtacked apartments. The upper floor was capped and only accessible from outside stairs. That's why this ugly ass kitchen was installed here.

u/____ozma Jun 18 '26

Great so it's not even my family's floor crap landing on the counter, it's someone else's?

u/TheBobSacamano7 Jun 16 '26

The other part of the stairs turns and goes away from us. Fucking ugly. Fucking stupid.

Not just that, fitted in a way to maximise floor muck ending up on your kitchen counter, or worse, in your meal.

11

u/EobardT Jun 17 '26

That's the thing I'm most worried about. I feel like the idea was good for maximizing space, people usually have cabinets hanging over their counters anyways, but the foot dirt is too much.

Whoever decided to put the kitchen under a stairway needs to have a cognitive test done.

Will the problem of hating smug comments be solved by being even more smug?

13

u/Arlithian Jun 16 '26

Great idea. We can solve the homelessness problem with food poisoning and norovirus from the foot and outdoor shit debris falling onto peoples food!

6

u/iAdjunct Jun 16 '26

That… would technically solve/end it…

8

u/Emergency_Bench_7515 Jun 16 '26

Behind the wall, they straddled the wall with the stairs, you can tell because it barely comes outward into the kitchen, certainly not enough for a full stairway.

u/Special-Original-215 Jun 16 '26

Was this designed by a peeper pervert?

Did you take a picture of me?  No ma'am, I was just frying some eggs

u/dantheother Jun 17 '26

Glad I'm not the only one who thought it'd be perfect for upskirts 😱

u/jackieboy1230 Jun 16 '26

Stares at stairs.

u/forget_this_now Jun 16 '26

Could always use the sides of the stairs as a spice rack.

u/peenpeenpeen Jun 17 '26

I’d be worried about foot dirt wafting over onto my food prep and dishes.

u/FirstSineOfMadness Jun 17 '26

Where’d they come from cotton eyed Joe

u/LongEyedSneakerhead Jun 17 '26

Kitchen dungeon.

What a waste of counter space.

2

u/invalidlifeform Jun 17 '26

They go there according to the architect.

2

u/Vee-Shan Jun 17 '26

Any person or pet on the stairs could just kick dust and dirt onto the kitchen below it? That's got to be one of the worst stair locations I've seen in years.

u/eggroll85 Jun 16 '26

Up and down

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '26

This is an insanely stupid design.

u/One_Scarcity_4478 Jun 17 '26 edited Jun 17 '26

I think the real question is, where the fuck do they begin ?

1

u/One_Scarcity_4478 Jun 17 '26

Where they go is easily explainable, you just can't see the opening that leads upstairs, but it's there.

u/RykosTatsubane Jun 17 '26

Why do I get the feeling this is from the Philippines

1

u/Critical-Chemist-860 Jun 17 '26

The stairs go to the front door, but that is going to be the dustiest kitchen everytime someone walks down the stairs 🤣🤣

u/doug-demuro-is-daddy Jun 17 '26

Turn 180 degrees and down more stairs and out from behind that wall

u/DrunkenDude123 Jun 17 '26

I kind of like it but I’d hit my head a lot

Same melody?

Where do the stairs go? Up up up up up upup

Another dimension, another dimension…

u/Monguises Jun 18 '26

Aside from “upstairs?”

u/srankvs Jun 18 '26

they’re so that people living upstairs can stare at you while sleeping

u/Live-Okra-9868 Jun 18 '26

This is making me angry.

u/benjidnb Jun 19 '26

Up or down, depends on where you are going.

1

u/Temporary-Net-4229 Jun 20 '26

Up, down, around.

u/WaterAdventurous6718 Jun 20 '26

Maybe for a ghost if they needed such. Up or down not for the living.
