  1. nmgyrl says:

    I always wonder if these things are for real. I mean, who does that? How do they put it in without ever questioning whether it’s being done right? Bizarre …

    • ducks says:

      is this the otherside of that esculator fail from around 18 months ago? i guess somebody finally treked the periolous journey to the otherside of that wall… the fail wall!!

      • fake? says:

        this is obviously a shopped pic of an escalator. methinks conspiracy? hmmm???

        • Lain says:

          Lame. Not the pic, but you.

          • AnonRg0lden says:

            Agreed.

            • ducks says:

              Lain and Anon are idiots. Your only feeding the troll by replying to his comments. Do you not realise that he is a pathetic looser and his only celebration and purpose in life is to get attention from strangers on the internet. You are both as lame as him.

              • fake? says:

                ducks is an idiot. Your only feeding the trolls (Lain and Anon) by replying to their comments. Do you not realise that they are pathetic loosers and their only celebration and purpose in life is to get attention from strangers on the internet. You are as lame as them.

                • fake? says:

                  Ducks – are you saying that you posted your comment here in the hopes that it will NOT get attention? methinks you’re a part of the conspiracy? hmmmmm????

                  • CycloneGU says:

                    I must reply logically. Clearly that floor is closed. Clearly there must be a cropped blockoff of said escalator during said floor closure. My best guess.

              • megalib says:

                In this case, though, fake is obviously correct.

                If anyone thinks that someone really built an escalator that stops against a solid wall they’re away with the fairies.

                • nmgyrl says:

                  This one may not be a true fail, but we have seen plenty here that are – like the stairwell handrail across a door that was on here recently. Or stairs that end at a wall. Are the people who design and/or build these things really so vacant that they don’t notice? Or just too apathetic to care? It’s a complete mystery to me how those situations happen.

        • Me says:

          Well contrary to them, I think you are right. This doesn’t look real. This looks too small. Methinks it’s for a doll house.

        • kurisu7885 says:

          It’s more likely one of those temporary walls they put up during construction.

          • Tom says:

            Agreed, looks like a temporary construction wall, and therefore not a true fail.

          • koko says:

            Also agreed. It’s a temporary, movable wall/barrier. You can see the metal edge on the right of the image and a black edge near the top, it’s clearly not a normal wall. Neither fail nor fake. Above comments are observation fail.

        • Matt says:

          Are you some sort of rtrd? You can blatantly see a ‘work’ wall, where they are doing some work… and the fact the metal plate goes under the wall.

        • Noirdesir says:

          I have seen an escalator like this. I really don’t understand how something like that can happen but I took a picture very similar to this one so no, I don’t think it’s a fake.

        • loler27 says:

          No! IT’S NOT A DAMN CONSPIRACY ALREADY!!! SHUT UP!!!!

    • Adamyaz says:

      No need to wonder – it looks like a temporary, moveable wall that they put up in malls when a store closes or they are redecorating. Not a good enough picture to judge for sure – but certainly not a good fail.

    • Hogan says:

      It’s real. I saw tsomething similar at an airport. The area is under a remodeling job. The wall at the end of esculator is a temporary structure used to keep dust and debris in an enclosed area. You can see the black top of the temporary wall in the top right of picture, and there is a sizable gap at the bottom of the wall. That’s proof it is a real picture of a movable temporary wall at the bottom of an esculator!!!

    • Captain says:

      You think just like me. I was actually thinking the same thing before i started reading the comments

  2. rob says:

    the wall looks fake

    • Jef Patat says:

      my grandma also has wrinkles and she isn’t fake. Whats ya point???

    • Dani says:

      It is. It’s one of those temp walls they put up when they build stuff. They did the same thing at the mall I worked at building an escalator. So yeah not really a fail

  3. Aris says:

    Gasp – IT’S AN ESCAMAVATOR! *giggles wildly*

  4. dumb says:

    temporary construction site. very common.

    • Nic87 says:

      That’s what i thought too. The wall doesn’t look like a proper wall. So i think it’s part of a shop or mall under construction.

  5. Oh, that’s just the way to get to the Hogwarts Metro system. Steam trains are SO last century.

  6. Guppy says:

    Exactly. This was probably taken at a shopping mall from an upper level. The top of the escalator is probably also blocked.

  7. capncrunk says:

    They put that wall there on purpose to block escalator access. This is not a fail.

  8. Justice says:

    Actually, none of you guys are thinking with portals.

  9. Jared says:

    Looks like Mitch Headberg was wrong.

  10. sharpedge says:

    Stairway to fail

  11. Muhu says:

    It kinda makes sense. Jumping over the fence burn all the calories, that you didn’t loose by choosing an escalator.

  12. lala says:

    im pretty sure i know where this is and its blocking off the rest of a store because they bought it and didnt want to do anything with the tiny second level. this is a major fail by the person who took this. its a freaking TARP not a wall

  13. izzyboy says:

    They do this stuff all the time. It is simply to block access to something that is under construction or renovations. Not a fail at all.

  14. Ryan says:

    That’s not a fail, it’s clearly for ghosts!

  15. inasaga21 says:

    It’s just an illusion. You can use the escalator as you normally would. Go head…try.

  16. Will says:

    If this escalator goes up, it’s a FAIL

    But if it goes down, it’s a total WIN

  17. James says:

    The wall certainly can’t be there to block access to a construction site. Uploader fail.

  18. Spoink says:

    Derf! Obviously the wall was put there AFTER the escalator was built – so this is wall fail, NOT escalator fail :(

  19. SirCaliban says:

    Yep, it’s a temporary wall to keep the construction dust ‘contained’ to the areas they are working on.

  20. Nick-I-Think says:

    When they said “when you come here, you’ll never leave”… they weren’t kidding.

  21. oggologgo says:

    or WALL fail

  22. design vertically says:

    this is a model

  23. wken says:

    Maybe putting an escalator right at the secret door isn’t such a great idea …

  24. Photog says:

    You all fail… it’s not a wall. It’s a temporary barrier, either cloth or paper draped over a metal frame (which you can see on the right hand side. You can also see the shadow cast by the barrier towards the top of the photo.
    This is a fail, fail.

    • Norm says:

      Finally, someone saw that! Cloth or paper curtain. Looks like there is some pressure behind it causing it to billow.

  25. mr ko says:

    its a trap……….

  26. Not first says:

    you all fail

  27. Sarge says:

    It’s not shopped. It’s just that they decomissioned that scalator without removing it, and then later built that wall that abuts the end of that escalator.

    In other words, it’s a government building.

  28. Shah-e-keshvar says:

    End of the line…

  29. failblog fail says:

    failblog fail… god failblog fails so often.

  30. importantcommenter says:

    There’s a lady who’s sure
    All that glitters is gold
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

    When she gets there she knows
    If the stores are all closed
    With a word she can get what she came for

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

    There’s a sign on the wall
    But she wants to be sure
    ‘Cause you know sometimes words have
    Two meanings

    In a tree by the brook
    There’s a songbird who sings
    Sometimes all of our thoughts are
    Misgiven

    Ooh, it makes me wonder

    Ooh, it makes me wonder

    There’s a feeling I get
    When I look to the west
    And my spirit is crying
    For leaving

    In my thoughts I have seen
    Rings of smoke through the trees
    And the voices of those
    Who stand looking

    Ooh, it makes me wonder

    Ooh, it really makes me wonder

    And it’s whispered that soon
    If we all call the tune
    Then the piper will lead us to reason

    And a new day will dawn
    For those who stand long
    And the forests will
    Echo with laughter

    Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh

    If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
    Don’t be alarmed now
    It’s just a spring clean
    For the May queen

    Yes, there are two paths you can go by
    But in the long run
    There’s still time to change
    The road you’re on

    And it makes me wonder

    Aw, uh, oh

    Your head is humming and it won’t go
    In case you don’t know
    The piper’s calling you to join him

    Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
    And did you know
    Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

    (Solo)

    And as we wind on down the road
    Our shadows taller than our soul
    There walks a lady we all know
    Who shines white light and wants to show
    How everything still turns to gold
    And if you listen very hard
    The truth will come to you at last
    When all are one and one is all
    To be a rock and not to roll

    And she’s buying a stairway
    To heaven…

  31. DisembodiedWang says:

    Time to rename FailBlog.org to ObservationsOfEntirelyOrdinaryThings.org

  32. TheMonopolyGuy says:

    Looks like something for Harry Potter

  33. Rob says:

    That’s actually a temporary partition put up to prevent people from using the escalator during constuction or remodeling. The only fail here is by whomever uploaded the pic.

  34. umpire says:

    umpire says: temporary wall = failblog fail

  35. Ari Gold says:

    this is a big big fail!

  36. Belgian says:

    This picture is taken in the trainstation of Brussels-central, no fake. but it’s indeed just a construction site.

  37. Bad Boy JH says:

    That is clearly a temporary barrier, and the escalator is not going to be in use, this is not a fail…

  38. loserface says:

    way too many of these escalator/stair fails into walls/off a ledge

  39. Jefferson Bicycle says:

    Neo: “OK, another task, just passing through this wall”

    *Bumps head and bleeds to death*

    L.W.: “We will definitely not include this. Let’s find another Neo now”
    A.W.: “What about making it available to watch in a Director’s Cut edition?”
    L.W.: “Hell NO.”

  40. im a win :3 says:

    err… maybe…. maybe it is for ghosts… :/

  41. im a win :3 says:

    lol u fail …

    i first read your comment and then you name^^

  42. Jay says:

    FAKE AND GAY. . . temp wall britches.

  43. Raid the Book Fridge says:

    It’s to fool the zombies and anyone passing through.

    …then won’t even know the escalator exists!

  44. OH FUDGE says:

    This site is getting less funny every day SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!

  45. Autobot says:

    looks like a temporary construction wall.

  46. Fakey McFakerton says:

    Lame. Not a fail. Obviously a curtain of some kind put up during construction or maintenance. That is not a solid wall. Solid walls do not have wrinkles in them.

  47. OOYYO says:

    twilight zone construction. ;)

  48. Speciālists says:

    I wonder how they can make so stupid wall!!!

  49. The moment you think you have seen everything some ridiculous thing pops up

  50. A63Alpha says:

    *Hums* AARGH! RUN BACK U-WHAMMM!!!!!1!

  51. fate2.0 says:

    THIS IS ACTUALLY A WIZARDING WIN

  52. Obed says:
