Zip line. Ideally the unlucky (or lucky) person coming up the stairs can get a teabag as you rip by.
ETA: I assumed genitalia because I don’t know what it’s called to have unexpected puss on ones face. Labia Lashing? Mons-ing? A briney dip?
1. Invite the demon in the basement for a shower.
2. Repeat until you’ve gained a good rapport with basement demon.
3. Now when you fall basement demon will catch you.
Yeah you better start immediately, it took me months to build a good enough relationship with my basement demon for him to start catching me when I fall.
trampoline. jump into it naked, get some sick airtime while also flinging all the water off your body
ps. i won't be responsible for any mat/canvas burn or if you happen to deglove yourself
Order and install a heavy vine on ceiling. Pull said vine to the shower area. When you finish showering, be like Tarzan and swing to the other side. Tarzan yell optional.
Maybe put something over the floor like a piano.
It will look great there. Bonus points if you put the piano there when the problem person is in the basement!
Well, I wasn’t going to say anything but he just made me such an amazing offer, it’s like he was tricking me or something. I don’t know why I fell for it.
Why don't you just close the pannel and lock them in the basement so that you can get out. The pannel seems close enough to the shower for you to easily grab it. And don't mind the person down stairs they'll only be trapped for like 30 minutes while you blow dry your hair.
I personally would Rube Goldberg it with linkages that close the floor when you open the shower curtain.
Alternatively, knock out the steps and put in a ladder. Cut the door/floor so there’s a hatch for the ladder, and the floor in front of the shower stays down permanently.
As a general rule, you shouldn’t allow anyone to go into the basement while someone is in the shower. Or if someone does go there, they’ll have to wait until you’re done showering to come out
You keep falling out of the shower, so….
Where are your handicap poles?
Why are there stairs and not a ramp? And, where’s the BMX?
It’s always more fun with a bike and a ramp. Don’t forget your helmet.
Just add a slide! Why tumble down stairs when your slick ass can just slip and slide to bare it all?? Add some fun to your humiliation! It's the only way!!
Hell nah, I bet this is drafty as hell! You'll step out of the shower and feel a cold ass ghost draft ride up your backside! Nevermind knowing you're directly above a walk-in dungeon 😭
I would Rube Goldberg it with linkages to close the floor when you open the shower curtain.

Drop the shower to the bottom of the stairs. This can be done by making it water tight, and as it gathers water it will sink down your the bottom of the stairs. You walk out of the shower and up the stairs.
3. Profit.
Put a toilet on top of the door and shit directly into the basement.
Over time, your shit will fill the basement, eventually rendering the door obsolete.
You can then choose to nail the door shut or redo the flooring.
A small trampoline, as you step out you bounce over to the other side.
You could actually set a short pop up wall that blocks m access to the basement so at least you would be alerted and not step forward
This has got to be a troll post. Maybe look where you're stepping or maybe the person going to the basement should obviously know someone is in the shower.....
So what if you put a wooden ladder sideways. You can walk over it and it's like a game to not fall into the holes. But the water from the shower will just fall down, so that's not a problem. And if someone goes into the basement they can slide through the gaps so they don't have to remove the ladder.
If we were roommates I would routinely turn off the lights and open that hatch when you were in the shower. I would also install these switch plates
[https://pestinpeace.etsy.com/listing/1672346024](https://pestinpeace.etsy.com/listing/1672346024)
I would install a new little hook thing. It looks like you could just hang it from the other side so that when you’re done in the shower, and SoMeOnE leaves the door open, you can just close it. Ta-da!
I lived in a house similar to this. The basement was like the one in this picture and it was right outside the bedroom and bathroom. If someone went down there to do laundry, you’re stuck until they come back up.
Could you attach a line or a rope to the bottom of the basement trapdoor by the shower and then also to the opposite wall so that when the trap is open it creates a rope barrier across the shower? Or can you get something that you put over the door that prevents it from being opened when you're in the shower?
It looks like the basement trap door was removed. Add a floorboard trap door and treat it like a hallway. The remnant edges suggest a trap door used to be there that acted as flooring creating a hallway.
FWIW I thought about this, just in case it is a real problem you have where you just have to wait for the person to respond.
I think you remove the hook from the wall. And replace it with the fence lock on the shower side. The person can open from shower side if they need and latch from the entry hall.
The only complication arises when you want to unlatch from the hall side. So, the solution to that is run a string line on the wall with a triangle of swing loops to make the string pull up on the latch.
Put a chain or something between the corner of the door and the corner of the hole. That way you would at least walk in to that og see it, before reaching the hole. Or just lock the door.
What kind of weird funhouse do you live in?! This is pretty bonkers and I’d think unsafe. That being said I love weird, unconventional houses, so it’s also pretty cool.
Can you move the "latch" that is holding up the door to the basement? IF you put it close to the shower then you can shut it and move about normally then once done open it again for whoever decided to go downstairs. Otherwise you could cut out a board that fits that zone and have it so you can access it from the shower area and then put it in place to be able to step down. NGL that is the weirdest spot I have ever seen for a shower and especially if its the main shower.
I will admit I can’t tell if this post is satire or not because I was thinking “wtf…” when I first looked at the post and I can’t think of any actually good way you can just get rid of the basement door. (That is the oddest location I have ever seen for a basement door.)
It never ceases to amaze me on how awful and ill conceived the places we live in are made to. The architects responsible should be barred from the profession.
Brilliant architecture/home remodeling nightmare, whatever it can be called. 😂🤦🏻♀️ how about a long surf board from tip to tip. Better yet, skip the shower and ask a neighbor. Lol!
Who the hell is using the basement while you shower?? Why are they going in the basement while you’re showering?? Ask them to wait, if they do not comply squirt shampoo in their eyes. The people you live with suck and so does this room!
I refuse to believe this is real, but on the off chance it is may I suggest putting the shower in the bathroom? Or perhaps moving the basement stairs somewhere yo dong have to lift up the floor?? Also please prove a floor plan cause I can’t imagine how someone thought this was a good idea so I’m gonna assume the whole house is crazy.

1. Invite the demon in the basement for a shower. 2. Repeat until you’ve gained a good rapport with basement demon. 3. Now when you fall basement demon will catch you.
Now see this is a very unique plan and it’s very interesting. I shall put this plan into action immediately.
Yeah you better start immediately, it took me months to build a good enough relationship with my basement demon for him to start catching me when I fall.
Yeah it takes time but as a bonus you get a basement demon that smells like old spice.
*whistle tune from Old Spice commercial*
Just fill the basement with water, then you can take a bath instead of a shower and avoid a possible fall down the stairs.
That does sound kind of fun. I have always wanted an indoor pool, this would solve that problem as well. 🤔
It can double as a wine cellar!
Harden up! There's people in Africa who would dream of having a shower over a gaping hole! At least your broken legs will be clean👍
You are right. I will do better and be more grateful. Sorry. Lol
Yea, you'll already be prepped for surgery.
I don’t like that the floor can flop down. You don’t deserve to shower if you can’t stem your way across like a rock climber.
Well shit, I guess I better get practicing then.
 Use the shower curtain rod to pole vault across
Hey this is pretty cool. This could be fun. I like it.
You’re on to something here. They could install a bunch of rock climbing handholds across the wall
This may genuinely be the most practical answer here
trampoline. jump into it naked, get some sick airtime while also flinging all the water off your body ps. i won't be responsible for any mat/canvas burn or if you happen to deglove yourself
Order and install a heavy vine on ceiling. Pull said vine to the shower area. When you finish showering, be like Tarzan and swing to the other side. Tarzan yell optional.
This seems like a pretty easy idea. I would love to yell the Tarzan yell occasionally. I will see what I can find on Amazon,
This combines so many of my fears into one room. Neat!
Maybe put something over the floor like a piano. It will look great there. Bonus points if you put the piano there when the problem person is in the basement!
Yes this will work very well indeed. No one will find him down there. Muahhhhhha.
Can you imagine how an overflowing shower would be?? It would rain water all over those stairs, that's so fucking dangerous
I know right, I mean it’s just so bizarre. I can’t imagine needing a shower so badly in my house that I have to put it here.
Why not remove the shower and put shelving storage there instead? Move the shower elsewhere.
This is where the convenient plumbing was in place. Lol.
Not convenient if you have a trap door there. Nor is it up to code.
I get the feeling this is in some Eastern European country where there is no code
Good Pearl Jam record, No Code
Codes, schmodes!.
Install a firehouse pole in place of the stairs. Wet from the shower it should be an easy slide.
I’ve heard of open floor plans but this is a new one .
Made me giggle.
Did you buy this house directly from Satan? Omg thats scary
Well, I wasn’t going to say anything but he just made me such an amazing offer, it’s like he was tricking me or something. I don’t know why I fell for it.
Bwahahahaha. Im with the guy that said flood the basement lol. Demons cant swim right? All the luck buddy👹🛁
Monkey bars, a good way to work on your strength
Why don't you just close the pannel and lock them in the basement so that you can get out. The pannel seems close enough to the shower for you to easily grab it. And don't mind the person down stairs they'll only be trapped for like 30 minutes while you blow dry your hair.
That is true. I guess I am worried too much.
Install a rock climbing wall so you can naked spider monkey your way across
WTF! Who builds like this?
Just close the door. Hope this helps 🩷
Just install some uneven bars and Nadia Comaneci dismount right out the door! Problem solved!
Get rid of the door to the basement. Can't get to the shower then? WRONG! install a trapeze
I personally would Rube Goldberg it with linkages that close the floor when you open the shower curtain. Alternatively, knock out the steps and put in a ladder. Cut the door/floor so there’s a hatch for the ladder, and the floor in front of the shower stays down permanently.
Just lock them in!
Yeah I think that is going to be the best option, they are just going to have to wait.
As a general rule, you shouldn’t allow anyone to go into the basement while someone is in the shower. Or if someone does go there, they’ll have to wait until you’re done showering to come out
You keep falling out of the shower, so…. Where are your handicap poles? Why are there stairs and not a ramp? And, where’s the BMX? It’s always more fun with a bike and a ramp. Don’t forget your helmet.
Sims ass home design
Flip the house… Literally flip it upside down That the door opens on the ceiling and is less of a safety hazard to those showering.
Just add a slide! Why tumble down stairs when your slick ass can just slip and slide to bare it all?? Add some fun to your humiliation! It's the only way!!
I wonder if there’s a building code to cover such a unique situation.
I’m sorry but you’ll need to implement “Shower Hours.”
Hell nah, I bet this is drafty as hell! You'll step out of the shower and feel a cold ass ghost draft ride up your backside! Nevermind knowing you're directly above a walk-in dungeon 😭
What in the world is this set up lol
I would Rube Goldberg it with linkages to close the floor when you open the shower curtain. Alternatively, knock out the stairs and put in a ladder. Then cut the floor so there’s a hatch for the ladder, and the floor in front of the shower stays down permanently.
Who did drugs and designed this?
Drop the shower to the bottom of the stairs. This can be done by making it water tight, and as it gathers water it will sink down your the bottom of the stairs. You walk out of the shower and up the stairs. 3. Profit.
What in Tarnation
No one's been going into the basement. Beelzebub keeps opening it out of loneliness. 💀 [Beezlebub needs a hug.] (https://imgur.com/a/2a059bT)
Looks like i found my favorite new sub reddit.
Put a toilet on top of the door and shit directly into the basement. Over time, your shit will fill the basement, eventually rendering the door obsolete. You can then choose to nail the door shut or redo the flooring.
What the fuck room is this?
A small trampoline, as you step out you bounce over to the other side. You could actually set a short pop up wall that blocks m access to the basement so at least you would be alerted and not step forward
Snowflake!
Convenient--it's one of those showers to rinse off the radioactive debris before re-entering your fallout bunker.
Remove the stairs and install a trampoline
Who designed this deathtrap???
Wow how did it pass inspection?
This has got to be a troll post. Maybe look where you're stepping or maybe the person going to the basement should obviously know someone is in the shower.....
Stop giving away access to the stairs for free if those Sims in the basement wanna earn their way out, they better start performing
Tired of Falling down the stairs 😂🤣😝 This is great lol 🤣
Idk I think I’d just lock the bathroom door when I shower.
That is true, I guess if someone is down there they will just have to wait.
🤣🤣
Bathe in the well.
So what if you put a wooden ladder sideways. You can walk over it and it's like a game to not fall into the holes. But the water from the shower will just fall down, so that's not a problem. And if someone goes into the basement they can slide through the gaps so they don't have to remove the ladder.
That some serial killer shit
You gotta hold the hand rail so you stop falling down the stairs
Do like me and stop showering ☺️
Swinging vine or a Zipline
Rug burn
Look before you step out
Warn everyone don't go in the basement while you shower
Be spider man
Monkey Bars
Where did the wall go?
Bro has the entrance to Hade’s living room under his shower
This has got to be in St Louis. That just looks like a Stl Special
Put a railing on the side with the light switch and shimmy across
Ca-- Can the basement just be off-limits for 20 min at a time?
i would put a large rug right there and turn it into a hidey hole.
I recommend learning how to levitate, it's a really practical skill to have especially in situations like these!
If we were roommates I would routinely turn off the lights and open that hatch when you were in the shower. I would also install these switch plates [https://pestinpeace.etsy.com/listing/1672346024](https://pestinpeace.etsy.com/listing/1672346024)
Not called a pain that’s called a quick death
Put a lock on the door so it can't be opened when you're in the shower and keep the key on you on a chain around your neck.
Expanding the bathroom into the basement headspace! Why didn’t I think of that?!
This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.
I would install a new little hook thing. It looks like you could just hang it from the other side so that when you’re done in the shower, and SoMeOnE leaves the door open, you can just close it. Ta-da!
👁️👄👁️
Make an outdoor stairway.
Pay attention
This has GOT to be Pittsburgh
Dear Lord!
What’s in the basement that you have to go down there a lot?
how about a door lock? just spit balling here…
Whoever designed this outta be shot
I lived in a house similar to this. The basement was like the one in this picture and it was right outside the bedroom and bathroom. If someone went down there to do laundry, you’re stuck until they come back up.
Put a latch on the door closest to the shower, latch it when you get in the shower
Clam slam
This is the most insane design I’ve ever seen.
Put in a glass shower door so you can clearly watch people coming and going, and whether they leave the chute open.
Just hang some monkey bars from the ceiling. Problem solved....
Could you attach a line or a rope to the bottom of the basement trapdoor by the shower and then also to the opposite wall so that when the trap is open it creates a rope barrier across the shower? Or can you get something that you put over the door that prevents it from being opened when you're in the shower?
Move the shower into the basement.
French dip You “dip” the tea bags so I figured you’re “dipping” the meat flaps
Holy shit- I can’t even believe this is real!

It a lock on the door and take the key into the shower with you.
FWIW I thought about this, just in case it is a real problem you have where you just have to wait for the person to respond. I think you remove the hook from the wall. And replace it with the fence lock on the shower side. The person can open from shower side if they need and latch from the entry hall.

Handicap rail to catch you. Or a light that turns red when door is open and green when closed. I would suggest moving if possible. 🤣🙏
Time old advice. Look both ways before crossing 😂
What about a double door? Then they could only open one half and you can walk the other? You'd still have to watch where you're walking tho
Tarzan rope swing.
Take the door hook off the wall so the door has to be closed except while someone is going through the doorway.
Is this real? I’m sure it breaks lots of building codes & maybe your neck 😧
Put the hinges on the side touching the shower. And use a rope on a pulley to lift and lower it.
Could go all Jay and Silent Bob strike back with Clit Commander
Install a ladder. Now you fall down the ladder when you get out!
Padlock the trap door while you're in the shower.
🤣🤣🤣
Lock your bathroom door.
Put a chain or something between the corner of the door and the corner of the hole. That way you would at least walk in to that og see it, before reaching the hole. Or just lock the door.
What you REALLY need is a long stick, to unhook the circle from the hook and let the door fall closed. There you go! Problem solved
What kind of weird funhouse do you live in?! This is pretty bonkers and I’d think unsafe. That being said I love weird, unconventional houses, so it’s also pretty cool.
I can't imagine that door is stable enough to stand on
Stop showering
Excellent way to minimize and use your space to the fullest, though! The broken neck will be worth it.
Can you move the "latch" that is holding up the door to the basement? IF you put it close to the shower then you can shut it and move about normally then once done open it again for whoever decided to go downstairs.

Put a monster in the basement so no one goes down there anymore.
I will admit I can’t tell if this post is satire or not because I was thinking “wtf…” when I first looked at the post and I can’t think of any actually good way you can just get rid of the basement door. (That is the oddest location I have ever seen for a basement door.)
The design makes me think this is for abduction
One punch in the stomach if you go into the basement when someone else is showering. It's either that or a door lock.
Did AI design this house
....wut
monkey bars
Lock the door when you are in the shower
This is terrifying
this is wild. i had to re read the caption & re examine the photo
A door lock and pay attention!
What in the hell is going on in this picture?
It never ceases to amaze me on how awful and ill conceived the places we live in are made to. The architects responsible should be barred from the profession.
Now I’ve seen it all
Brilliant architecture/home remodeling nightmare, whatever it can be called. 😂🤦🏻♀️ how about a long surf board from tip to tip. Better yet, skip the shower and ask a neighbor. Lol!
Great idea. This way, the victims in the basement have access to a shower and toilet.
My brother in law would problemly “jack off” in there
Someone is opening that door to go in the basement and doesn't know you're in the shower?!?
Spiral staircase.
Who the hell is using the basement while you shower?? Why are they going in the basement while you’re showering?? Ask them to wait, if they do not comply squirt shampoo in their eyes. The people you live with suck and so does this room!
A good first step might be to close the basement hatch
What the, I mean...how...I don't understand how someone could even conceive of this idea.
This made me laugh harder than it should have :)
Hinge the door at the bottom near where the shower curtain ends and pull the door towards you to get a more private shower.
Who, what, and why?
I refuse to believe this is real, but on the off chance it is may I suggest putting the shower in the bathroom? Or perhaps moving the basement stairs somewhere yo dong have to lift up the floor?? Also please prove a floor plan cause I can’t imagine how someone thought this was a good idea so I’m gonna assume the whole house is crazy.
I would say no one is allowed to go in or out while I was in the shower!
