I am an 18 year old boy who lives in a house that has slides from floor to floor
I saw this posting and was like I do that all the time.
*Pics of the slides. link http://imgur.com/a/39reF
**I'll upload a movie at 150 upvotes.
***Here's the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsHW-BW_32I&feature=youtu.be (I fell coming out of the first slide:)
****Just made it to front page:) I'd like to say thank you to everyone who believed it was possible and upvoted. Reddit rocks!
*****And finally a picture of our pool that has a slide. It's the third slide http://imgur.com/jc5xF
******I just showed my mom this post. Her reaction, word for word: "Why did you do that? The house is so messy!"
*******My friend just texted me that he saw the video on youtube. Haha anyways another cool aspect. I sleep in an area we call a "Secret space" here's the pics starting with my little bro's room then going into my sleeping area. (someone requested) http://imgur.com/a/y7hET
********K so final update. Some douchebag decided to take my video and reupload it on youtube. I wouldn't be mad but it ranks higher on the search list for "slides" than mine does. I don't think I can get youtubes attention on my own.
*********I apologize for saying that was it. Apparently, this individual also posted this to his twitter account https://twitter.com/#!/iTalkAboutVideo. Which I thank ImmaCanadian for pointing out to me. Thank you all for disliking his video and reporting it. Please do what you will to his twitter account as well. Maybe we can get people like this to stop doing what they are doing...

haha we do have stairs as well. Otherwise how would you get to the top floor?
HULK-SMASH934 karma
at 18, you should think about calling yourself a guy/dude/bloke/man e.t.c.
As a 27 year old boy, i find your title weird!
an_illiterate_ox714 karma
Do you have pets? Do they slide? If not, then you have to just for this reason. I'd fucking lose it every time if I were just hanging out in the basement and my dog slides down like it's business as usual.
Ringmaster187640 karma
Have you ever gotten bored of the slides? or even angry? has there been a situation where someone was upstairs, having a heated argument, then they got so pissed off they stormed off and slid downstairs?
me0123865 karma
Haha no that would look kinda comical I think. I did sleep in one of the slides when I was pissed at my parents so that they couldn't find me though.

Do you get bad static electricity shocks after you come off the slide and touch something metal? My fear of shocks is what prevented me from enjoying McDonald's slides.

So I think this pretty much means you are batman, there's no other way around it.
me0123555 karma
My parents planned the whole thing themselves. For fun I guess? They put in a pool and basketball court too. I think it was honestly just to be over the top:)
razihk151 karma
What kind of business dude? and how big is the house? Rooms? bathrooms? It's pretty baller to have slides in the house! :)
me0123234 karma
I think thirteen bedroom and 5 and one half baths. 2 more baths at the pool
illskillz117 karma
And what major corporation is he a c-level executive at so we can protest this ?! And what's his bank account number?
ihaveacalculator217 karma
Have you ever been injured sliding down one of them at a particularly high speed?

How does this pass fire code? They usually don't like breaches that spans across fire zones. They don't allow laundry chutes in some areas for this reason.
grabmyeye588 karma
Fireman here. The reason behind that is because the chutes act as a chimney if there is a fire in a lower level, allowing heat and flame to spread quickly. Unlike many other laws, fire codes exist to protect you. As fun as they are, I'd suggest doing a little bit of research. Maybe putting a swinging door on the top?
Also, I'd hate to be searching your house in zero visibility and fall through and slide straight to the fire floor. Although, with our fire hoses, we can turn it into a water slide!
andrewsmith1986130 karma
Is it only 1 slide?
Do your friends and family use it?
Do you use it every day?
andrewsmith1986158 karma
If your mom wanted something and was on the first floor, would you send said item down the slide?
andrewsmith1986132 karma
Do you have younger siblings?
What kind of toys in the toy room?
Sex toys?
a_lot_of_fish333 karma
If you need any new friends we'd be happy to oblidge. You seem like you have a cool slide personality.
me0123147 karma
Believe it or not it happens to me a lot... Lol I know that sounds stupid though.
loveisfornerds30 karma
Wait. You have a slide to your pool...so can you just get suited up and just slide in?
me0123119 karma
I get that all the time... it really is just super deep for my age. It's actually sounded like that since I was 13. Yeah middle school was awkward.
Chipsticks169 karma
I dont believe for a second that Middle School was awkward when you were the kid with slides in his fucking house
lurch0098 karma
Has you mom ever sent hotpockets from the kitchen to your toy room via the slide?
cehak95 karma
The slide that goes in to your pool: is it discreet?
What I'm really asking is have you ever tricked a friend into thinking it was a normal slide like your other 2 and then laughed as he plummeted into your pool.
edit: discreet, not discrete
MaxChaplin90 karma
Were they installed in a preexisting house or constructed along with it? Does the manufacturer make house slides regularly? If not, how did he react to the order?
me0123170 karma
we actually built them out of sewage pipe lol. I remember getting them together it was hard work...
halerzy79 karma
Have you ever tried to hide from your parents by stopping half way down a slide? Are you the only one in the house that uses the slides?
IronCawk72 karma
How many chicks pants have you gotten into because you told them you had a slide at your house and got them to come over?
planification348 karma
I used to tell people that I was a virgin by choice too, just not my choice.
delta_epsilon_zeta68 karma
Ever thrown a bunch of objects down your slides? Liquids? What awesome things have you done with them?
me0123248 karma
I put milk down it once (don't ask why) it broke and spilled everywhere. Sometimes we clog the bottom with bean bags so you can go down but then you're stuck:)
synflood57 karma
what if someone tries to murder you by blocking the exit until you die of dehydration?
Imalostmerchant165 karma
HA! you have failed to acknowledge the forward thinking of the crook. He has lubricated the last eight feet of the slide with a solid lubricant such as grease. Now you are dead and covered in disgusting grease.
k-weezy30 karma
Well, tell us how you came to have slides in your house? Were they already there when you moved. Did you remodel to have them, were they designed into the initial building?
How often do they actually get used? What percentage of the time do you use them vs. stairs?
me0123108 karma
We built the house we've had it for a couple years now. Little kids use them all the time. When we first moved in for like a year it was 75% slide 25% stairs. Now it's like 99% stairs 1% slide
bulletm1415 karma
does it feel weird to take a slide when you're in a bad mood or having a fight with someone?
