Funny Construction Moments That Ended up Beyond Repair

Home of the World's First Stepscalator

In a bold move that might be seen as cheap ingenuity or extreme laziness, a retail mall has turned its outdated steps into something resembling an escalator—minus any of the actual functionality. Imagine the excitement of approaching what looks like a modern convenience, only to find cold, hard, stationary steps instead. Customers approach with high hopes, only to walk away scratching their heads in confusion and disappointment

It’s like stumbling upon an ancient ruin frozen in time, where the echoes of what it once was still linger. Welcome to this mall, home of the world’s first Stepscalator. Who thought this was a good idea? While it might save on maintenance costs, it leaves shoppers wondering if the mall is cutting corners or just stuck in the past. Either way, it’s a quirky addition that’s more likely to frustrate than impress. Have you ever seen a design fail this hard?
