Not all design ideas are these glaring lightbulbs of inspiring innovation. Actually there are countless examples of designs that are just plain old disasters. These designs are bad through and through. That doesn’t mean that they weren’t funny either.
1. The final step on these stairs looks like the floor.

Even if you knew it was there, I’m sure you would forget from time to time.
2. So, apparently, this is a bench.

The most uncomfortable and dangerous bench you’ll ever attempt to sit on.
3. Seriously, who goes and walks down the stairs like this.

Don’t walk like John Lennon down the stairs. Got it.
4. I’m very curious as to what’s behind this door.

Do you think Voldemort is back there?
5. The asterisk is used on every item.

That asterisk is giving me a bad feeling. What does it mean? Anyway, I’ll take one ice cream tub, please.

6. Talk about an odd design for a light fixture.

I would not want that thing hanging over my head. Every guest you have over says, “Hey, did you notice what that thing looks like?” Yeah, we noticed.
7. This gate.

This is the type of work you do when someone tells you to do something that you do not want to do.
8. A seriously counter-effective barrier.

For those who don’t know, this is absolutely a challenge that men have been training for their whole lives.

9. So, one of these doors has a recycling chute behind it.

I would absolutely be marking the recycling door. Even with a sticker or something. Come on. Does anybody have a label maker?
10. Found this card at Walgreens

I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it says “some slack” on the bottom of the card.
11. This just looks mean.

There has got to be a good story behind this very aggressive move.
12. The acronym doesn’t fit the text.

You know whatever adult that made this was so proud of it, too.
13. This carpet in a hotel I stayed at is a disaster.

You know that if they’re cutting corners like this, they are not thoroughly cleaning the rooms either. This is a big red flag.
14. Hmm. Which is it?

I don’t know what to do. Someone tell me what to do.
15. Just a nice hold in the wall that divides the townhouse bathroom and hallway.

Have you ever been in someone else’s bathroom and were horrified to hear how loud the voices in the other room were, knowing that they could hear you equally as well? Well, what if we made a design to make your side even louder? So much.
