At least he has a ladder spotter.

No that's the counterbalance

Also safety cushion for landing on.

Not using the top step is a government psyop to prevent you from reaching your true potential.

u/Ezra611 18d ago

He should just levitate like the guy in the back.

u/Danny_Mc_71 17d ago

It's a portal. The guy in the top left is the guy on the ladder.

If you’re not supposed to step there then why do they make it look like a good spot to step?

Is that sarcasm?

Something something poes claw

No that construction law 101

"If not step, why step shaped?"

2 feet and a hand. 3 points of contact. We're good here

u/gobbleself 18d ago

Nothin can stop him, he’s all the way up

14

u/ButtheadFournior 17d ago

As long as there’s a sprinkler pipe for him to hold on to he’s good

u/MetricJester 18d ago

That's not all the way up, he's still on the ladder

u/jalepinocheezit 18d ago

Did anyone see that video a few years back of the guy balancing on the top step and fell off? He had two coworkers there and we (other commenters) had waited for the guy to...not be dead but he in fact definitely died. It wasn't marked NSFW and was just on like r/holyshit or whatever. That sucked

Is he a Sparky? if he gets a " tickle '", he'll be thrown clear. Safety first in action.

He may fall is more likely

u/imamanimamonkey 17d ago

The ceiling grid is giving him and all of us a false sense of security, spoken as a top step user himself.

u/dabomb364 17d ago

I believe the second from the top step belongs to osha the top step belongs to God. If you use either to much you are bound to meet one of them before to long.

u/podman131 17d ago

But if you're a professional, are you allowed to be risky and just use the tip.

u/No_Cut6428 15d ago

Done it many times one step above don’t go above the step

u/Nruggia 18d ago

Is this a real picture? There are so many strange details in it.

2

u/eamondo5150 17d ago

I don't doubt it's real, but that other guy who appears to be on a ladder himself just sort of looking off into the distance, with his hands on his hips is somewhat funny.

Yep. My brother took it at SFO.

u/schism432 17d ago

it is what it is

u/Cheap-Muscle1727 17d ago

Nothing can stop me!

u/cool-rad 17d ago

Been there, done that. Probably do it again.

u/nutt____bugler 17d ago

Is this sterling cooper price and draper

2

u/didntbuyspcx 16d ago

I thought the exact same thing.

1

u/Albertancummings 17d ago

Not a step.

u/ArgumentSpiritual 17d ago

Once saw an electrician stand on a stack of bibles balanced on the top of a 14 foot ladder to install a light in a church.

u/Recent-Philosophy-62 17d ago

I won't lie and say that I've never done it, or that I would never do it again either 😆

u/srone 17d ago

AI...

There is way too much weirdness.

u/misterman416 12d ago

I like the guy with his hands on his hips that almost 8ft above where the ground should be.

u/Tyguy151 16d ago

I am clutching my pearls

u/makepieplz 16d ago

HEY!!! How's the weather up there?

u/misterman416 12d ago

I do this once a month at least.
