Check Out These Absolutely Baffling Design Choices

Are you aware of the Watchmaker argument?

Basically it goes like this: if you were walking along the beach and you found an intricate pocket watch, you wouldn’t assume it had just been formed randomly out of waves and sand or whatever, you’d know that a person had to have designed it. When you look around at the world it looks pretty complicated too, so someone must have designed that as well.

It’s a kind of philosophical argument that can lead to endless debate, but the reason I bring it up here is that while scrolling the cursed images on @uglydesign on Instagram, I see things that clearly had to have been designed by humans, and yet are so baffling that it’s more tempting to believing they WERE some kind of accident?

I don’t know. Scroll on, you’ll see what I mean.

10. The measuring stick

For when you done got tired a’her always claimin’ youse exageratin’.

9. This terrifying bathroom floor

You were probably going for whimsical, but it looks like there’s someone dying in here.

8. This coffin door

“How are the neighbors?”
“Oh, they’re dead quiet.”

7. The whicker toilet

I feel like if I don’t scroll past this fast enough I might see a disaster.

6. This three wheel circus

I don’t know if you’ve got the mechanics of this quite right, friend.

5. This couch with toes

I’m the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been.

4. This sleeping bag sock

And why are you on the kitchen floor? I have so many questions.

3. This seal table

It does not get my seal of approval.

2. This torture bike

Reminds me of that thing from South Park.

1. These extreme steak knives

My god man, how tough are you cooking those things?

I just. I can’t. I won’t. I don’t understand.

Would you actually consider buying any of these? Which ones and why?

These People All Failed at Their ONE JOB

I’m not here to judge anyone doing their job.

I’m bad at everything. Seriously, name a thing, I’ll tell you exactly why I’m bad at it. For instance, I just told you to name something even though I can’t hear you at all, so I’m bad at having conversations. It just goes on and on like that.

I say all this so you understand I’m not throwing shade at the people behind the mistakes in these photos. I couldn’t possibly. I’m so bad at throwing. And I wouldn’t even know how to pick shade up in the first place.

Consider this, rather, a celebration of failing at one’s job. Let’s see who’s feeling kinda dumb right now.

15. Whoever set this up for display

Maybe they were just trying to avoid copyright infringement at the last minute?

14. The programmer behind this

All movies are bad movies. Flee, child, for this world is not for you.

13. Whomever coordinated with the graphic designer on this bus

And kids everywhere rejoiced and bought a pack of Camels to celebrate.

12. Whoever labeled these guns

I’m sorry – I believe you mean “freedom boom booms.”

11. The person who forgot to set the date

It’s best before a template. I don’t even know what that means.

10. The designer who stitched together this photo

I think the more relevant question is “do you need a ride to the hospital?”

9. The employee who set up this display

You’re not you when you’re hungry. Have a pills.

8. The assembler of these bracelets

Ooooo, so close!

7. Whoever made this label

You keep using that word, I’m not sure it means what you think it means.

6. These hatless men

Come on dude, we came here for ONE thing!

5. Whoever iced this cake

Halpy Birtlry calen to you as well.

4. The maker of these cards

P I E

3. This roofer

An attempt was made.

2. This tiler

Either a huge mistake or an evil troll.

1. THIS tiler

It’s subtle, but once you see it.

We all fail sometimes. Let’s fail together.

What’s been your biggest fail lately?

People Who Definitely Didn’t Put Safety First

When I was in high school, we used to all do this neat trick where we’d push down on the button of a lighter (without sparking it), and let the flow of butane gas fill up our mouths for a while before then sparking the lighter outside our mouths and blowing a big fire ball.

Now. I want to be as clear as I’ve ever been about anything: do not do this. It barely works, for one thing, and you’ve got a disgusting butane taste in your mouth for the rest of the day, which is probably all kinds of harmful, and not to mention, oh yeah, it’s *STUPID DANGEROUS AND YOU COULD BURN YOUR FACE OFF.*

When I look back at that sort of thing, and there are many other examples of it, I kind of wonder how I’m still alive. Which is probably what the people in these photos from Reddit wonder as well.

12. Very clear signs

How many screw ups had to occur before the second one went up just the emphasize the point.

11. Safety walk

Can’t tell if horrible safety precaution or he’s trying to escape.

10. No butts about it

Never a dull moment at the old explosion factory.

9. Puddle line

I may not be an electrician, but I’m pretty sure this is bad.

8. Well-read

Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask.

7. Warning

Just, be warned. In general. Because what if this happened?

6. Fire door

The carts had had enough of being pushed around by the humans. They got into formation and prepared their revenge.

5. A truck truck truck truck

I think maybe we’ve got too many vehicles at this point.

4. The photoshoot

Safety harnesses sold separately.

3. Important attachments

Look I’m not here to kinkshame but…

2. Ladder day saints

Bruh how are you even doing that?

1. Water you doing?

Well, I guess technically that’s one way to ground.

I feel like I might be dead from just looking at those pictures?

What’s a dangerous stupid thing you’ve done that nobody ever should?

Fails That Will Probably Leave You Scratching Your Head

Whenever you head off to work, or sit down to work at home, what kind of goal do you have in mind?

Do you feel inspired to make something exceptional? Are you racing the clock? Or are you looking to put in literally the smallest amount of effort possible without getting fired?

It seems like a lot of folks who are aligned largely with that last mentality end up with their work proudly displayed on r/OneJob, a place on Reddit where we can marvel at failure.

So without further ado, let’s get to marveling.

13. Tile style

This would drive me so insane if I had to see it on a regular basis.

12. Red and black

And just where do you think you’re going, little guy?

11. Sotp

IN THE NAME OF LEVO!

10. Warning signs

“Should we move this?”
“Not my job, not my problem.”

9. Slice of life

This is chaotic evil right here.

8. Free samples

This place clearly spares no expense.

7. Un-bear-able

What hath God wrought?

6. Peek-a-boo

I think accessibility is kind of the entire point of these but ok.

5. Another brick in the wall

Whatever, good enough, it’s Miller time.

4. The scramble

Imagine riding your bike through here and suddenly just panicking.

3. Salt of the earth

“Did you refill the shakers?”
“YES, GUH, STOP ASKING.”

2. Out of line

He’s making a break 4 it!

1. Life’s a bench

He’s communing with nature.

Eh, we’ve all been there.

What’s a time you failed at your one job?

These People All Somehow Failed At Their Jobs

I’ve had a lot of jobs over the years. Some long term, some short. All sorts of disciplines and areas of expertise, or a complete lack thereof.

But whatever I do, I strive for excellence. I just wanna do it right, if only to prove that I can. I think most of us feel this way, which is why it can be so jarring to watch someone with a single job to do completely biff it somehow.

That’s the entire gist behind r/OneJob, where we collectively memorialize the job that was supposed to be done, and the thing that now stands in its place.

10. PlayBox

Meanwhile Nintendo doesn’t even have a seat at the table.

9. In memory

Whoa whoa spoilers, I haven’t even seen three through ten yet.

8. Reduce, reuse, recycle

The most vital step toward a more sustainable future is clear communication.

7. In case of emergency

I feel like this is the beginning of a Saw movie and it’s just Jigsaw taunting everybody.

6. The key

What if I don’t wanna be fri? You can’t tell me what to do.

5. Sly like a fox

He’s in disguise. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

4. New paint job

Can we like coordinate on our stencils or whatever?

3. You put the lime in the box, you nut

And shake it all up.

2. The Liren Kring

Scar! Brother! Save me!

1. Cheese on the side

Lactose intolerant people be like.

Here’s hoping they all found jobs they could do a little bit better.

How Do You Think You’d Get Rich if You Got $100 Every Time You Were Rejected? People Share Their Hilarious Responses.

The job market is really TOUGH right now. You hardly know where to turn.

But what if there were a different, unconventional way to make money, like this hypothetical from r/AskReddit:

You get 100$ every time you’re rejected for anything ( favors, dating, money ). What do you do to make money? from AskReddit

So, how best to turn rejection into cash? Let’s hear out some innovative ideas.

1. The trifecta.

Do you have a minute to hear about our lord and savior?

Would you like to take a survey?

Can I offer you an extended warranty?

– em21701

2. Love me tinder.

Does someone swiping left on my tinder profile count as a rejection?

If so, I’ll be a millionaire in a week.

– LukewarmCola

3. Just ask.

Ask people for $100

– Pimp_Butters

4. The swap.

Create two bank accounts, one to take the $100 another that’s just empty.

I use the debit card linked to the empty account and just repeatedly swipe it in some gas station or grocery store, getting declined every time.

Then I just use the other account for everything else ?

– Gastric_Wave

5. You game?

Ask people to play Axis and Allies the board game.

It’s my favorite, and no one ever wants to play it.

– i_am_the_pirate

6. Failed.

Try to login with the wrong password.

– trogdor1234

7. Dude, what?

Ask random strangers if you can sniff their farts

– Fl3xion

8. A clean break.

Ask my kids to clean up their toys. $$$

– Dorkjello

9. A strange plan.

1. Buy a magic 8 ball
2. ask a question and roll till a “no”
3. buy more magic 8 balls from the $100 and put them in a tray
4. ask away and shake the tray every time you need money.
5. Stack modular trays containing more magic 8 balls to expand your earnings per sec.

– Calmeister

10. Mouthing off.

Ask if I can stick my hand into people’s mouths, noone wants a stranger’s hand there

– Iwantmyteslanow

11. Oof.

Suggest really solid ideas to my work team of all-male technicians.

– jewbetterstopthat

12. That’s quite an estimate.

Travel around world, trying to kiss everyone.

Imma make over $700,000,000,000.

– ThanatosTheSaviour

13. The best laid plans.

Just try and make plans with a big group of ppl.

Nothing works out.

Probably market cap in and around 1 bil

– Count55

14. That Mormon beat.

I’d go back and be a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints again!

– rexregisanimi

15. NEVER.

Do you want to try YouTube Premium?

– Bjar5614

*Sigh* if only any of those would really work.

What would you add to this list?

Home Improvement Fails for You to Laugh At

I’m going on the record here…I’m not the handiest guy in the world. Nor do I pretend to be!

I think a lot of people out there don’t want to admit that they have no idea what they’re doing when it comes to home improvement, so they try to do it themselves…and the results are usually not pretty, folks.

Take a look at these fails and next time you need a job done, call a pro.

1. Gotta be careful with those things.

5. You know you’re screwed now, right?

7. How do you forget to close the window? In Norway?

Not a good look!

Well, now you know.

A friend sent me this picture today. from Wellthatsucks

10. Ouch! Major disaster!

How did this go so wrong?

Wife bought a new plant pot and put it on the shelf over the toilet. And hour later we heard a crash… from Wellthatsucks

11. Australia is pretty extreme on all levels.

I guess I’d call that a pretty warm day.

Seriously Dumb Moments That Might End in Epic Fails

I’m not sure how to say this without shocking you, but people are kinda dumb. They do really dumb stuff. And not just at ballot boxes. Also around heavy machinery and vehicles and sharp things.

Here, let me show you what I’m talking about with these memes.

15. Who saw that coming?

Sure hope you live in a universe with Looney Tunes physics, my guy.

14. Too cool

When your boss finds your usual napping spot and you gotta up your game.

13. Safety first

I can see a few warning signs here for sure.

12. What a vision

Maybe just order it online?

11. The pipes, the pipes are calling

Not sure if this is a real photo or a shot from a Christopher Nolan movie.

10. Whatever floats your boat

If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid.
This, however, also won’t work.

9. Need a lift?

Now THAT is what I call teamwork. And an OSHA violation.

8. Take a seat

Having moved all my furniture up a winding staircase to a third story apartment, I get it.

7. Snow no

These imprints tell quite a compelling story.

6. Screw you

He’s really trying to get a leg up on the competition.

5. Outside the box

No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.

4. Head protection

Can’t tell if safety precaution or just a fashion statement.

3. Advanced tag

“Hold still, Kevin! Everyone has to know that I was here!”

2. Split the difference

My entire body is recoiling just looking at this.

1. From the jump

…what?

Never go this-level dumb. Whatever you do. Unless you want to live in infamy.

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever done?

10 Times People Were Totally and Ridiculously Demanding

People like to say that beggars can’t be choosers but I feel like that’s not quite accurate. Maybe the idiom should be “Beggars shouldn’t be choosers.” Because a lot of folks aren’t about to let a little thing like an enormously socially off-putting impossibility stand in the way of being jerks for fun.

Here are ten times people said screw it and decided to just be way too ridiculously demanding for their own good.

10. “No. I like your art style.”

That’s not how being a client works, my dude.

9. “So annoying.”

Are you confusing their house with your house?

8. “Exploit these talents.”

This is from a real article on tips for how to have a free wedding.
If it’s a professional, pay them. If it’s not a professional, don’t expect the pictures to be good.

7. “Like taco truck.”

Your negotiation skills are terrible.

6. “Company confidential.”

Let’s say you get a degree in marketing, then immediately get jobs in that field and keep them for 20 years.
At that point, you’re at least 42 years old.

5. “Only 250 dresses.”

That…seems like a lot of dresses, honestly.

4. “Just because I say I want something doesn’t mean I want it!”

You sound like an absolute joy to be with.

3. “Can you just send me the money?”

I don’t think you understand how any of this works.

2. “Email only please.”

I love the idea that people think their request to have a stranger take time out of their day/week to run errands for them is going to be so bombarded with offers that they need to narrow them down to a single channel of communication.

1. “Hustling like crazy.”

“Hey small business on the verge of bankruptcy, can I have some free stuff?”

What can we say but yikes?

Do you have a story of pure audacity like this?

Tell us in the comments.
