How high?

what is the highest floor of a building that you have ever been on?

many reasons it would be nice to have comments here but one reason in particular right here right now is because i want to know: what is the highest floor of a building that you have ever been on? if it is the top floor of a skyscraper and… then what is the second highest floor. or, alternatively, the highest floor of a building you have been on for a reason that is not “going to a high floor in a building”.

This is a great question! Back in college I lived on the 13th floor of a building. We had many a false fire alarm (college students….) and so many trips down and back up the stairs. It was, if I remember correctly, a 16 story building so I might have at some point been up a bit higher for some reason.

I’ve been to the observation deck of the Sears (or whatever now) Tower, the John Hancock tower, whatever floor the tourist thing at the top of the Eiffel Tower counts as, been up to the top of that weird arch in St. Louis, lots of weird high places purely to go up and look around (after paying the fee…) but as far as going up to some high-ish floor of a building because I had some reason to go to some office up there and not as a tourist thing, it’s hard to say. I don’t remember the floor but back pre-pandemic I did one time visit someone who lived a good ways up, probably was well higher than 13th floor, might very well have been the highest floor I’ve been on for a reason other than just to look.

There’s lots of fourth floor, sixth floor type heights at work. The one building has a weird ninth floor meeting room with an outdoor deck, sometimes one department or another holds a sort of party up there, putting that in a weird zone between being at work but also it’s edging closer to being up there for the view.
