Twitter Users Unite To Voice Their Discomfort Over 'Jairs' AKA Jean Stairs

One of the internet's longest-running points of cringe is anything made of denim that isn't a pair of jeans.

Here's how the naming works: if it's made of denim, we put a "j" (for "jean") in front of the word to make it sound ridiculous. The most common example of this is jorts, aka jean shorts.

You've heard of jorts, but I bet you've never heard of jairs.

Hey! Look at these!

They're awful! Aren't they awful? I can't believe someone would create this, but then again... it's the internet. So maybe I can. I'm still upset, though.

They're totally real, in case you were wondering.

As it turns out, the jairs first materialized on Reddit a few years ago. No one there knew where this came from, either. Googling "jean stairs" just netted me more pictures of jean stairs.

I'm sorry to report that at LEAST two people have done this to their stairs.

This is an entirely separate set of jairs. It blows my mind that two separate people in this world had the idea to carpet their stairs with jeans.

Anyway, as expected, Twitter brought the jokes.

Whoever invented the joor (jean door) is either a genius, or a super villain. Maybe both.

I guess you could walk into it without getting hurt? That's the only upside I'm seeing here.

This interaction broke me.

This does bring up something I was wondering, though — are the jairs' pockets sewed shut? Because they don't look like they are, and that (among many other things about the jairs) concerns me.

What in the Jenna Marbles —

I kind of blocked the original jairs (jean chairs) out of my mind after I saw Jenna Marbles try to make one. No woman should have that much power.

Thanks Ikea.

People started sharing other things made of jeans/denim, and I am upset! Why did Ikea decide to make a jouch? Do they hate style?

It's very this.

Like, I know no one died for these jairs. You know no one died for these jairs. But doesn't this whole thing just feel slightly haunted, as if something dark happened to make those jairs come to life?

Anyway, I hate it.

However, I need to know how you feel about the jairs. Are you afraid of the ominous power they hold, or are you ready to carpet your stairs in jeans?
