Seeing Things
Sometimes style can triumph over sense, and this is definitely one of those times. Sure, aesthetically speaking, it makes sense for there to be a line painted at that particular distance. It is rather pleasing to the eye. However, safety flew right out the window with this questionable design.
Cue tripping, falling, and a few “ouch” moments, none of which are particularly stylish, so maybe they should have just ditched the unnecessary line. I wonder how many people would have to trip over these stairs before they realize what went wrong. Hopefully, not too many.
