Examples of Bad Design That Are Pretty Painful to Look At

It can be kind of crazy when you see how bad some people are at their jobs.

If most of us screwed up as royally as these people did, we’d probably be pounding the pavement looking for a new gig.

But, maybe everyone deserves a second chance…or a third or a fourth…

The bottom line: take a look at these design fails and be happy you’re not the one responsible for them.

1. I bet that smells bad after a while.

Who’s responsible for this?

These benches at my university are tilted back and have no drainage system, so the water just sits there for up to days after a rainstorm. from CrappyDesign

2. Anyone care for some moldy cheese?

Oh, that’s just the packaging? Hmmm…

The paper in this sliced cheese makes it look like it has mold spots from CrappyDesign

3. Somebody is gonna get hurt in here.

Don’t try it!

A shower designed to be as hard to stand in as possible from CrappyDesign

4. That’s not secure at all.

Nice try, though.

5. Thanks for letting me know this is a dead end…

AT THE DEAD END.

6. That disgusting: plain and simple.

Just a bad idea all around.

7. What happened to Grandpa?

He’s turned into a cyborg, honey…

So, where are you from? What do you do?

9. This is nightmare fuel.

But I can’t look away…

10. The kitchen is a little tight.

I don’t think you’ll be hosting any dinner parties in there.

11. Can someone explain this to me?

I’m a little bit concerned.

Is this trophy for golf, or assault? from CrappyDesign

12. Not a good look.

It looks like some terrible things went on last night.

I thought it was a horribly stained mattress until I focused on the details from CrappyDesign

13. No privacy? No problem!

It’s a party! Come on in! Or just watch from the outside!

This door to the restroom. from CrappyDesign

Ouch…not good, people…not good at all…

And now it’s your turn!

In the comments, please share some more photos of bad design that you think will make all of us cringe.

Thanks in advance!

These Designers Had One Job and Blew It

You only had one job!

How many times have you heard that in your life? Or maybe that’s just me that’s heard that over and over throughout the years…

Anyway, you would think that people who make their living as designers would be pretty tuned into the idea that the DESIGN of whatever product they’re designing is the most important thing and it can’t be messed up. AT ALL.

But, apparently, these people didn’t get that memo because these final designs are NG…and that means NO GOOD.

Take a look at these design fails and keep your fingers crossed that these folks still have jobs…

8. Oh, gross! Ewwwww!

Does that make sense?

13. Just imagine…

This is a real mind-bender.

“Please Hate These Things” Is an Instagram Account for the World’s Worst Designs

There’s a niche for just about everything on the Internet – even for people who want to come together to deride and hate on stuff together: it’s called Twitter.

JK!

Enter the IG account “Please Hate These Things,” a place for people looking for the what-not-to-do of the design world.

Kind of like an opposite-Joanna Gaines, I suppose.

Here are 15 of the worst of the worst, and y’all. They’re really, really bad.

15. Straight from the Playboy Mansion yard sale.

14. Are you going to be selling movie tickets?

13. It’s nice…if you want to die.

12. They forgot puke.

11. This just cannot be real.

10. What even is the point of this though?

9. Are they going to be high-diving off the top?

8. There’s just no way this was an accident.

Not quite.

A post shared by @ pleasehatethesethings on

I’m torn between wishing I hadn’t seen any of that and being thrilled someone is out there compiling these pictures.

Did you love these? Did they drive you mad? I can’t decide!
