50 Design Fails That Are Beyond Ridiculous, As Shared On This Popular Online Group (New Pics)
Most of us can intuitively tell whether something is designed well or if the end result falls way short of what it should be like. The more we’re exposed to ads and products—both great and god-awful—the more our sense of taste develops.
Ever since 2011, this popular subreddit has been sharing examples of epic design fails that are beyond hilarious. In fact, they’re so bad, it’s mind-boggling that the people behind them green-lit them! We’ve collected some of the worst offenders to share with you, Pandas, so scroll down and upvote the designs you love to hate the most.

Being Gay Was A Sin They Said
The fact they're all going in two-by-two is also wrong. They went in sevens (or even 14s, depending on how you interpret the wording in whichever translation of the bible you choose to read) for the clean animals and in pairs for the unclean animals.
In case @Seamus Crumley catches his breath long enough to read this, no, I don't believe in this as historical fact. The "fact" I was referring to is the image itself: it's a FACT that the artist has depicted the animals in pairs. For the record, I'm atheist.

Load More Replies...The subreddit has been poking fun at horrible and hilarious designs all the way since 2011. Over the past 12+ years, the community has grown absolutely massive. At the time of writing, the group had 3.4 million members.
Years pass, seasons change. But what stays constant is people’s appetite for shaming truly awful product and ad designs. (What changes, however, is how the internet reacts to names like the subreddit’s that use gentle curse words. These days, you can’t even mention them in full without some social media megacorps frowning in your general direction!)

Hey, those figures are from a Danish tv show that started in the 1980s! That's Bamse (Bear) and Kylling (Chicken)! And he's wearing his wellies, aww. And yes, that is a belly button. Bamse has a visible belly button sewn onto his fur. Which is so weird. Also, the bakery is La Glace. They are one of the fanciest and oldest in Copenhagen. They should have been able to make this "1" and the name a little better.
The subreddit’s moderators have created a fantastically detailed wiki that explains what does and doesn’t count as a bad design. For instance, amateur artwork or signs don’t belong in the online group because they were made by, well, amateurs. Similarly, broken things also don’t count.

Our Wedding Is Going To Have Three Delicious Meal Choices
Sure but isn't the date throwing anyone off...like why write it like that. Also, I'll take a chicken entree please, I've got no beef with kids.
Lol yes there is a lot of weird going down. We are out of chicken and beef by the way
Load More Replies...They can eat the children, providing they are Swedes.
Load More Replies...For me, this would be the only reason for not allowing kids in weddings.
And don’t even think of posting the Roman numeral for 4, IIII, as an example of awful design because it’s a fairly common alternative way to write IV. Meanwhile, unintentional errors like manufacturing defects also don’t count as examples of bad design. Neither do novelty items or obvious satire.
I Cancelled My Transaction Twice In A Row By Accident. I Finally Found Out Why
At least, it wasn't the other way around! Imagine trying to cancel your transaction and pressing Enter instead..
Neither do I. I have been staring at it for 10 minutes.
Load More Replies...It reminds me of the time my finger accidentally spammed the 0 key and I found myself trying to withdraw €3000 from the ATM instead of 30. I froze in place as the machine made weird noises for a time that seemed like an eternity to finally tell me that the withdrawal operation was canceled because it did not have 300€ in reserve (and neither did my account ^^'). I left relieved with 30€ and not 3000..

I had one of those that never saw the light, because it was always in my bookbag. Whenever I had to use it, I always sit it directly under a lamp for an hour to charge (maybe less, but it sat there for a while). So, I went back to the battery-powered calculators. lol.

f*****g elastigirl or whatever her name is
Load More Replies...There could be toilet tissue/paper, bog roll, s**t wipe on the other side of the wall we can't see. The roll we can see might be used for cosmetic reasons, like wiping eyes or removing something.
You just have to front load on your way in, hope you estimated correctly.
I can only think of two sort of understandable possible reasons. 1. It is a country where the toilet / floor area is kind of one in the same as the shower. Not too uncommon in the Philippines for example (I've seen it both ways over there). 2. There actually is a TP roll near the toilet just out of view of the photo and this is a second roll by the sink for misc use like makeup or whatever. In better places that would be a box of tissue but who knows. Anybody live in an area where this is common?
One how 7 feet arms, two if you get up to wipe will you are in the middle of peeing what will happen...

A while ago, interior design expert and then-editor at These Three Rooms, Ariane Sherine, had shared her thoughts on taste and aesthetics with Bored Panda.
“When it comes to aesthetics, 'bad design' is a very individual thing that comes down to personal taste,” she said that our personal tastes and (dis)likes affect our judgment of products and interiors.

Artistic Kid Dies
Thank you, I appreciate the condolences for my death 💜
Load More Replies...“It's perhaps more helpful to talk about 'bad design' as design that doesn't function as it should—for instance, a kitchen that doesn't have what's called 'good flow', where you have to walk impractical distances between complementary appliances and where the dimensions of the 'kitchen work triangle' (the distance between fridge, sink, and hob) aren't practical,” the design expert said.

Surely There Is No Better Way To Write Your Phone Number
Seeing as the month and day fields say January 1st, I imagine that's the "standard starting position" for the dropdown fields. I assume the 2017 is there because the form was created/accessed in 2017 and this screenshot was taken in 2017, not because whomever was filling it out was born in 2017. EDIT: Yep, I checked the original Reddit post. It was posted 6 years ago. Ergo, in 2017.
Load More Replies...TBF, they could have gone with a single drop box of all possible numbers.
Obviously regular expressions were not this web designer's forte, so they went with separate drop down fields
Actually, my phone number is 000-000-0000, so that made it very easy for me!
I recently had to fill in my birthdate from a drop down calendar, but you had to keep going back and click through a separate calendar for each month of every year of your life. Then my daughter had to do it; it took her half as long as it took me, but she was still cussing up a storm!
“A kitchen where there isn't enough storage, where potentially dangerous appliances aren't located safely, and where cornflakes and milk are placed at opposite ends of the room is what I'd call 'bad design,'” she shared that a poorly-crafted space can be a huge headache for someone in their day-to-day lives.
“‘Good design' is where a lot of thought and effort has been put into structuring and renovating a house so it's perfect for the people living in it. It takes account of their aesthetic preferences but also focuses on the concepts I mentioned before, paying close attention to detail,” she told Bored Panda.

Two Flamingos, One Vagina
How is it that we know about a penis and balls with all kinds of euphemisms and still can't grasp the vulva vs the vagina??? Female anatomy is actually a thing. **edit the. Apparently as I'm being snarky I can't even spell the! Lol karma I tell ya what.
The weird thing is I've *never* heard it referred to as a vulva other than in biology texts. Everyone I've ever spoken with has either referred to it as a vagina or used a euphemism. While it may be technically right most people just don't use the word vulva. No idea why.
Load More Replies...the question is, will BP put itself on the next bad women's anatomy post?
They will probably start censoring vagina or vulva and replace them with “non-penis” or “un-penis”

Load More Replies..."The only true way to ascertain whether a design is going to be a commercial success is to make it available for sale, market it widely, and see how many people buy it. But success is different to taste. Personally, I think taste is all about understatement, minimalism, and neutral decor. But again, that's only my personal opinion!" the design expert told us during another interview, earlier.
“This will differ for each person, but for many people, loud and garish colors used liberally in the home would signify a lack of taste. Then again, I can think of designers who have based their entire career around the use of color and loud prints," she said that there aren’t any hard and fast rules.
If Only There Was An Easier Way To See Who Was Outside Your Front Door..

To be fair, then they'll know you're home. You'd put a curtain up, then peek before they see you. Clealy an introvert designed this.
Reminds me of a picture on pinterest, where a fellow is wearing a baseball cap on backwards and he's looking into the sun with his hand blocking the light, and the caption reads " Too bad something wasn't made to help block the light" or something to that effect.
Pretty sure this was supposed to be a sarcastic photo. Like what's the point of the peephole when you have the big window to look through?

Load More Replies...When it comes to furniture, you have to consider functionality, not just aesthetics. "Does the furniture function as it should? Is it likely to collapse or break easily? If seating, is it comfortable? I mean, my idea of aesthetic hell would be a bright purple inflatable sofa with lime green spots, but your mileage may vary! The question of comfort and function is a less subjective one,” the design expert shared a few of the considerations you should keep in mind when thinking about interiors.

How Much Do You Trust Your "Multilingual" Ad Designer?
"Did you get the English translation for the sign?" "Oh yeah. There's English on the sign, all right."
"May not make any sense, but neither do their Chinese tattoos so serves them right."
Load More Replies...This happened with a road sign in Wales (several, actually). It might be later on this list, I haven't looked, but the English version said something along the lines of "Delivery drivers should use the entrance at the back" and the Welsh translation said "I'm not in the office at the moment. Please send any work to be translated to by secretary".
Hint: if you commission a translation then get a different person to translate it back and see if it still makes sense.
As someone working in the language services field that it often done for medical and advertising translation and is called “back translation.” Still, you won’t believe the number of companies that stick stuff through Google Translate because getting a commissioned translation is “too expensive.”

Never Split Your Legs When You Slide Down!
When my kiddos were babies, we'd go to the playground. They had a slide similar to this. Had 3 paths going down. One path was bumpy, like hurt your butt bumpy. One was vertical wavy and was smooth. The other one, that sucker was dangerous. It was wavy side to side with like 45 degree turns and as an adult sliding down, it would damn near knock your hip out of joint and cause whiplash.
Bro the opening is small enough for one kid, how will three of them have a race

It's a border crossing station, each lane leads to a border agent(s).
Load More Replies...Anyone know the story? Have seen. Faintly recall it was something like a border crossing in China or something but I forget. But I'm also wondering about the opposite direction. Why is everybody only traveling in the one direction?
I've seen it before and I think it is a toll booth in China. It's just an extreme version of the M6 Toll in the UK, which has 3 driving lanes, but about 10 toll booths.

I Want To To Open A Shop In Goa That Slightly Copies A Popular Chain, What Should I Call It?
We have a chain of stores where I live in Australia called 9/11 - they're bottle shops (liquor stores). In total fairness a) the name was there years before the terrorist attacks, and b) we tend to call the attacks "September 11" instead, because the way we format dates means 9/11 would be the 9th of November.
That is an excellent insight, thank you - I sometimes forget that other countries have the day before the month in date formats!
Load More Replies...Don't make jokes about 9 11, guys. They always crash and burn
7-11 was named such because it was open from 7 AM until 11 PM. They're almost all 24-hour, at least on the East Coast.

The ad is meant to convey the idea that sitting in your car will feel like you are sitting at home on your couch. Unfortunately, it's not pulled off very well, and just looks like the intern accidentally pasted a couch into a car full of tiny people.

The Awful Name Of This File
All these issues could be solved if Americans used the correct spelling of paedophile. Then you wouldn't have the ambiguity or confusion with "pedi" meaning "foot".
There's a reason our ancestors fled your tiny lil island - we got really tired of you guys spelling things with extra vowels crammed in wherever you wanted to put them. We wanted that amazing thing called "you don't get to dictate how WE spell words that YOUR culture didn't even invent/create but instead stole from Greek and Latin". (Harsh yep, and downvote me all you want, but I am seriously TIRED of all the casual American hate that goes around on BP and is passed off as "funny" or "joking".) P.S., Harry - the prefix is "pedo-", which even an American can differentiate from the prefix "pedi-". They're not pronounced the same way.
Load More Replies...Why awful? Pedo would be horrible but this a different, foot related, word. Is the editor not literate perhaps?
I have this file! I was hanging out with a friend one day and we were talking about pedicures, when I said that my Pedi File does a great job for me. As soon as the words had come out of my mouth I realized what I said. Now I just call iit my foot file.

Its actually called a Cane rail. Its for blind people so they dont walk into low objects. In the US its part of ADA and is required for things that are lower than 80". I always thought it was odd how you then create a tripping hazard, as was mentioned.

I've tried cajoling her in a friendly way to not do that, but she doesn't listen.
