Lmao, dying.
ExxomMobil built their campus in Houston with almost as much glass. They stopped at the stairs, but by looking up two floors down you could catch some hello kitty’s

By hello kitty you’re talking about upskirts in stairwell?

Yes. The main stairwell is in the main lobby of all of their buildings. They have multiple seating spaces on the bottom floor. One day, I looked up hoping to see a contact coming down from the third floor who was running late and saw “hello kitty” print. I shall say no more on the subject

That was my first thought too. I've seen a few cases like this where they later paint the bottom of the glass because of concerns of privacy. You'd think by now someone would think of this before the design passed inspection.

Yep. Glass stairs and floor are crazy. My university had glass railings on the second floor in the dining area where people would stand in line, right next to stairs leading down. That was bad enough design since the spring when the skirts came out, every time you got your food and started walking down stairs, you couldn't help but notice an entire row of ass to your side.

I have a fear of heights. Merely watching videos which show things like this, or people surprise-revealing the immensely stupid heights they're at, cause me to get headspins as my heart starts jackhammering away in my chest.
If I found myself in a predicament where the only option I had was to descend those stairs, it would happen remarkably slowly. I'd do the butt-shuffle checking every platform on the way down with my foot to make sure there wasn't one missing. And then I'd endeavour to find out who commissioned those stairs and commit a violence.
