All I can think of is when you're drunk and forget where the bathroom is
RobAnthonyyy
Well, it would work
TheOneAndOnlyZeke
Better to break all your bones then catch fire maybe? Is that the theme here?
rushmik
Those fingers in the crack of the door are giving me the heebie jeebies
Kaleitwithbacon
Clearly it's an exercise in efficiency. It's a much faster trip to the safety of the sidewalk.
prattleassassin
AW HELL NO
counterdumb
ive lived in S. Korea my whole life and i havent seen anything like this. please stop making uneducated generic claims its lazy & misleading
TreeOhhTree
there is ninja rope
hollybadass
Get drunk and try to talk home. ...fatality!
imaginariumaquarium
See it as an opportunity for a pulley system so people can send you up delivery and such in awesome tree fort fashion
thunderbear82
We call those suicide doors.
DrHerpetologistdr
Why does that person have their fingers in the hinge? I'm cringing!
beafsta
wtf
ulnek
Ah it's made to resemble the twin towers fire escapes.
RusteTC
Is that a dildo collection that's been pixelated?
ItsCaptain0bvious
It's a fair question.
smeagulgolem
Everybody do the flop!
GivePuddingToYourEnemies
Die by fire or break a leg
1Rogue
just push everyone else out in front of you and then land on their corpse pile
wastheking
Are...are you me?
Moonblaze
Is there any benefit at all in putting your hand between the frame and the door on #2?
KJRagz
maybe just to hold the door open?
Moonblaze
I feel the risk might outweigh the benefit when she could just be using her palm on the front. She's asking for amputated fingers.
sploofmoof
Well...plunging to your death is KIND of an escape, right?
senoroctobre
The best kind!
TheBlackWindHowls
Damn, are you sure this isn't North Korea?
joevsyou
LOL, they would rather watch people burn not fall to their death
mlmsj
Best Korea
JumpTheCheeseburger
There wouldn't be any fire escapes in NK.
jediprincess
Reddit- Misleading. Older buildings where there is no room to retrofit a fire escape they have instead "descending life lines" (escape rope)
TooLazyToDoThat
I mean they do say live your life to its fullest. So why not experience falling and burning rather than just burning?!
RoboticManiac
It's not like the elderly or disabled or drunk need to survive a fire!
snufl
I think you misunderstand. It's either this or nothing.
Jaakarijoukko
I'd rather burn than jump.
artintel
No, you wouldn't. People trapped in skyscraper fires usually decide to jump, if they can.
ReallyBigRocks
IDK man burning alive is like one of the worst ways to die
senoroctobre
Now you don't have to choose, you can do both!
Jaakarijoukko
I'd rather burn, then jump.
TheCanadianNerd
Idk about you, I'd rather live than die. And I'd rather chance a suicide to the fall than burn alive.
gijensen
I think at that point, not jumping is suicide.
Dravit
Why does the first pic look like Minecraft?
gijensen
It's a pixel blur, there's something there they don't want you to see.
Hashbrown123
It is where they store the mosaic when they are not using it for porn.
gijensen
It's a pixel blur, there's something there they don't want you to see.
Chrichelle
No, it's minecraft.
antillesw
The hell? I lived there and never saw anything like this.
mijiza
We did too, we saw them mostly in hotels and they would have rope ladders in a nearby case to use.
palatialpuddi
yeah me too, OPs post is extremely misleading.... now pretty much all the fire exists do have stairs (i also have lived there too)
collins5242
Currently stationed in south Korea and have yet to see anything like this.
wildcatcorea
That totally explains the random doors! I had wondered about that while I was there!
SailorHarlequin
ditto...then again my apartment is a death trap: the only exit is the front door, right next to the gas range, and my windows have bars...
antillesw
however, Korean kids tend to jump as their most common form of suicide as guns/drugs are very hard to get so this is a bad thing.
Sittingonabigblueboxlolwtfmars
And die from that height? They might want to dive head first.
antillesw
lot of s. korean buildings aren't very tall. but a jump should still kill you
TheCommunistComrade
Unless you dove headfirst you'd survive on the one in the pictures. I'm pretty sure you could walk away too. If you know how to jump
Mirawatts
That fall is going to hurt, and you're going to break some bones. However that fall will just put you in the hospital, not the morgue.
ButterfaceTaintClown
Did you ever have cause to use a fire exit?
antillesw
no but i would have seen it/someone would have pointed out how fucked that is if it were widespread
trikc
exactly. or maybe see doors with no access on the side of buildings.
krauraurgg
If there's no door handle on the outside (and there's no use for it), it would just look like a wall panel.
HappyExplosion
The way you're holding that door on the second picture... oh my god.
TheBlackWindHowls
Think of it this way. How far would they be leaning out if their hand was actually on the doorknob, instead? Context.
notimeleftforyou
actual shivers down my spine
beautyinthorns
I was thinking "holy shit, just do a selfie... don't risk your fingers!"
RandomFlotsam
Hand damage imminent.
IamTonyStark
Be wary of fall.

nooooooo
VileFury
Didn't notice until you pointed it out, thanks for making my entire body convulse.
greggety
when i was a kid i had my thumb in that part of the door, someone slammed it shut, the bone was crushed and i had to have metal put in it
HappyExplosion
Yikes! I had my ring finger stuck before but didn't break it, I guess I was lucky.
greggety
how come there was no damage?
HappyExplosion
It was just bruised, I'm guessing the door wasn't hard/strong enough. Might have been old too.
K4tja
i slammed a door on my fathers fingers and I was sooo sorry :( he had to go to the hospital
greggety
yeah i was taken to the hospital immediately, a similar accident happened to my dad too but being a trooper he walked to the hospital (1/2)
greggety
because no one was around to take him (2/2)
beautyinthorns
Damn... I slammed a car door on my thumb and didn't have to have that happen...
skelekittycat
My mum shut a car door on my fingers once, thankfully it was right at the joints, so they bent in and didn't break. Bruised like hell though
greggety
ooh bet that hurt though! bet you never made that mistake again (i won't even put my hands near that side of a door now)
beautyinthorns
It actually happened because my grandpa distracted me. told me to watch my thumb and I turned to find out what he said cuz I am part deaf.

Saw similar doors when I was in Vietnam.
cominginhot
I want to batman out too
Summersky
Jesus Christ. Don't drink and toilet.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
As a frequent drunk.. It'd be awesome to just pee into the street from that doorway
Carbulo
You would of thought there was a break glass thing
Tehlu
Rope in a fire doesn't seem like a good idea.
MrPredator
Die while looking for a toilet... shit.
TheCharacterLimitInUserNamesIsALargeNumberAndIWillAbuseThatFact
Oh, escape ropes work in real life too?
megatrep
Going from looking for a toilet to worst decision ever
StaringintotheSun
Every one of those drunk people died while peeing out of the door to make a rainbow and then lost balance
MrBananaBeak
and if you're handicapped....well, sorry.
EverythingISeeIsAJojosReference
Score 1 for the Darwinists, unfortunately.
vowofloudness
Not sure how a ladder or stairway would help.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
It'd make carrying you much easier.
pancreas
If you're handicapped, just throw yourself off. what are you gonna do, break your legs?
perthaussiecunt
Handicapped, sometimes in wheelchair, with full use of legs, why would breaking my legs be ok?
Varroth
Well.. you know, die.
LaBotte
a wheelchair person could go down the rope ... quadraplegic ? well your fucked
krauraurgg
There probably aren't that many quadriplegics working in offices anyway. And if they're are, they're probably on the ground floor.
iLoveItWhenMyFingersSmellLikePussy
Yeah, people in wheelchairs are bound to their wheelchair.. FUCK! I meant to say: they're bound to have better upper body strength
LaBotte
Love the username BTW.
ArdentSlacker
kinky.
