"Do you happen to have a magical nephew you hate?"

We all have random corners in our homes that we have no idea what to do with. The type of random spaces that make us wonder what on earth the home planner thought when they added them to the plan. Did they have a specific idea in mind when they built this tiny corner that doesn't fit anything inside, or did they simply add it as an afterthought when they saw the empty space they had left?

Either way, when you move into a house with a random corner like that, the only thing you have left to do is find something to put there. It could be a random plant, a shoe rack, or a dog bed. Whatever it is, your only wish is for it not to look terrible, and maybe have some kind of use to it.

The Twitter user below, Greg, posted a picture of a small space beneath his stairs, and asked other Twitter users what they think he should do with it. Obviously, not a single reply took Greg's request seriously, but that only means that he got hundreds of hilarious replies with suggestions he has no way of implementing.

From swimming pools, a hot dog stand, to a space for an 11-year-old magical nephew, these people did not disappoint. They saw the random space and came up with the most creative and ridiculous ways to put it to use. Keep scrolling to see some of the best ones.

We love nothing more than to see the internet come together to help one of our own, especially if it includes another internet phenomenon like Punch the Monkey.

If we were in Greg's shoes, we would have found a way to implement at least one of these silly suggestions. It might not be the smartest use of this space under the stairs, but at least he could get some laughs out of it every time he walks by it.
What would you have suggested to Greg for a use of the space under the stairs? Let us know in the comments below!
