Well, yeah, you can get into the stairwell from any floor of the building. But you can’t leave it from any except for a few, including the floor below mine. That’s what I mean. I can take the stairs down, but I can’t take them up.

Shouldn’t the stairwell doors open on every floor? That doesn’t seem like a “fire prevention” scheme to me — it seems like a “maximize the potential injuries and deaths in case there was an actual fire” scheme, which doesn’t seem like a terribly wise idea.

Carny: You’re not the first to suggest that. Unfortunately, due to some fire prevention scheme, the stairwell doors only open on certain floors. So I can take them down from my floor, for example, but not up.

Sofi: That’s exactly the problem.

Not everybody has a blog on which to vent their boiling rage, smartguy.

You would all be healthier and happier if you just took the stairs up.

Real talk.
