Why does nobody talk about the 33rd floor being conspicuously absent in so many building blueprints?

I was reviewing some old architectural plans from a 1970s federal building project and noticed the floor numbering jumps from 32 to 34, which seems like a weirdly specific detail to consistently omit.

Honestly that's just how they numbered floors back then, nothing weird about it. Tbh you're reading way too much into old blueprints.

Yeah but it's still creepy to look at. Those old floor plans give me the chills every time, like you can feel the history in the weird layout. I get what he's saying but it's hard not to overthink it when you see something that odd. Just feels off, you know?

My old apartment had a closet that opened into another closet, which felt like a portal to bad storage ideas.
