Sometimes, contractors can really take you too literal…
…to outcomes that are nothing more than laughable. To those who are not engineering literate, take a look at the image below (click to make bigger), and notice the excerpt from the plans on the right-hand side. If you see that callout for a detail that says 2/A6.10, there is what is called a leader line pointing to the circled area for which the detail applies to. So, the contractor took the plans, and formed stairs to fit where the leader line is and for the detail bubble. I have a feeling that the true humor behind this is lost on those who have never dealt with engineering plans, but trust me, this is a very ludicrous mistake!
