I'd like to imagine a very Wile E Coyote situation as they open their door, and get halfway down the stairs before they look down and realize it's not there.

For anyone who's doesn't remember the original post: this was a joke. OP was having their porch replaced and decided to use the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

Even funnier, the original tweet was from a guy in ~~Cincinnati (I think, but it could have been a different Ohio city)~~ [edit:it was a different Ohio city, lol] Cleveland and even his joke was stolen

Cleveland, which for the unaware is very similar to Detroit economically and socially

Cleveland : Detroit :: Machine Gun Kelly : Eminem

Yeah, that makes sense. Ohio has a weirdly large number of nationally known cities. I’m from Connecticut and I think I know about as many cities by name in Ohio as in California, and I only know more municipalities by name in New York and New England.

A lot of our cities are known from TV sitcoms and from rivers catching fire.

Wait, nvm. Sorry

But why though? I guess the next one will have to be concrete.

I mean... That's pretty bad, but there was someone in Brazil or Mexico (somewhere south of the US anyway, I don't recall exactly) where a woman went on vacation and came home to find her entire house had been stolen, brick by brick.

Dudes showed up pretending to be construction workers and took the house away in pieces over the course of a few days. The neighbors didn't suspect a thing.

Someone had it out for that poor lady.

I had a confusing perspective thing going on here for about 30 seconds…I thought this was a wall in front of the house. At least it sounds like OP was wide awake when they opened the front door.
