Unusable chairs and stairs to nowhere: 20+ Building blunders that boggle the mind

This isn't just a poorly designed house, it's a poorly designed home.

Imagine you buy a plot of land and are planning to build a house on it. You check out the blueprints, and you're no construction expert, so you figure the pros must know what they're doing. But as you can see from the images below, not every architectural project goes as planned! 

I'm obsessed with the builders who installed an escalator right into the wall of a building. It's the definition of "that's not my job." They have a singular job, to install an escalator, not to question where walls may be or not be. I'd like to imagine they gently cut off the ends of the device to make it fit right up against the wall, then collected their paychecks and dipped, never to be seen again. It's a case of malicious compliance that brings a tear of joy to your eyes. 

Scroll down to check out these bungled buildings. Then, this waiter was flabbergasted by a diner who ordered a plain egg omelette, and was then infuriated to receive exactly that.
