Stairwells

Stairwells function in many ways. One very obvious one is as a smoking joint. Never mind that there is a no smoking sign, that's where one should drag on a fag...it's common knowledge, the sign, is actually to point out where one SHOULD smoke, not where one SHOULD NOT.

Second function of a stairwell, is as a make out joint..especially dark, secluded ones. If you wanna hide your amorous adventures, that's the place the do it. After all, them smokers wouldn't bat an eyelid, they're just there for their nicotine fix, not for the entertainment. If doubtful, carry on in areas FAR from the no smoking sign. An occasional irritated dentist might walk by and advise you to get a room...but that doesn't happen in all stairwells.

One other use for the stairwell is as a place to take a break..you can have lunch ( while having a smoke) or even take a short nap. Just be mindful of the occasional spit that these smokers leave behind as a legacy. Again, when in doubt, stay clear of the no smoking sign.

I guess that's it..oh wait, stairwells are also useful for one other purpose, going up or down floors..but then, it's hardly used as that, so...shouldn't even have mentioned it.
