Have you ever used a restaurant bathroom where the stalls are made out of semi-transparent frosted glass? Perhaps you've bought a pool float only to discover that it bears an uncanny resemblance to a pantyliner? Or maybe you've bought a garden gnome salt shaker that looks suspiciously like a member of the Ku Klux Klan? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you've clearly fallen victim to bad designs. As you can see from this hilarious list, there's plenty more from where these epic fails came!
From interior design fails, and town planning disasters to product design screw-ups and architectural mind-bogglers, the pictures below will make you bury your head in your hands as you try to figure out just what the hell some people were thinking. Don't forget to vote for these atrociously funny fails, and if you like what you see then click here and here for more funny photos of hilarious design fails.

What makes it more disturbing for me, is that I read it as "Period Pizza"......

I didn't know you could make pizza out of that. Isn't science wonderful?

#49 - The Rocky Rococo ad on the back of the bus was done on purpose. The mascot wears round sunglasses, so that was meant to be funny and eye-catching.

The Winnie the Pooh one is absolutely disturbing. How many children ended up in therapy after buying this horrific knock-off?!

#125, the Harriet Tubman costume, is fake. I found that exact ad on HalloweenCostumes dot com, and Brown Face Paint is nowhere to be found on the recommended accessories. The DO sell brown facepaint...as part of their Wolfman costume..

#128 (the one that looks like two parking spaces put together). I think that's actually a parking lot meant to accommodate buses. The buses park all the way up against the fence whereas cars stop at that first line. At least, I think that's what it is.

I think it's actually supposed to be a stacked parking lot. You see a lot of them at restaurants with limited parking areas, and the valet needs to shuffle cars around to get them out. There was a community center in my neighborhood that also had to convert their normal parking lot to stacked parking as one of the city's conditions for approving some renovations. The community center had to accommodate a certain number of vehicles in their parking lot so that the impact on the surrounding neighborhood streets would be lessened; the only way they could do that was to implement stacked parking.

#90 is a bump in the road caused by high temperatures. It's in Minnesota, which not only has extreme cold in the winter, but also extreme heat in the summer. This combination wreaks havoc on the roads.
