Whether we're talking about the subreddit Crappy Design or the Instagram account Ugly Irish Houses, the Internet seems obsessed with tasteless crimes against aesthetics and functionality. If you are too, the Twitter account "Cursed Architecture" is right up your alley.

Its hellish content includes strange angles, melting paint, vaguely threatening toilets, stairs that lead to nowhere, and more. Basically, the kind of stuff that architects and interior designers would imagine in a horror-comedy. But believe me, you don't have to be an industry pro to appreciate these pictures. They're so bad, us regular folk will get them as well. Enjoy!

cool, but imagine running up or down the stairs, then having to call 911 and tell them that the stairs impaled you.

I didn't realize the hole (stairs for further down) until I made the pic bigger. So many things wrong in this pic.

I cannot think of a single city in the states in which this staircase would pass inspection.

"Yes, you may go," said Moloch the Devil. "These are the stairs out of the Underworld, your final test." ... To this day you can still hear the Devil's laughter as they tried to escape. Each step up the ladder burned as they climbed, but finally the Adventurer and his lost lover, now rescued, ascended back to the world of the living. Then they discovered they were in New Delhi. "We should have stayed in Hell." She says.

I don't see how you would get to it. Looks like it's empty space below those steps.

Where I live, this would not only not pass code, but the building department would take your plans out on the lawn at City Hall and ceremoniously burn them.

How is this so far up? It's neither architecture nor cursed, but just a bad photoshop.

Wow. You expect that when you take out semi-fixed pieces of furniture. Not rugs!

You know how annoying it is when people can see your legs under the stall panels? Well, consider yourself lucky : in there ones, they can see your butt, your balls, and the falling turd.

The Hustler Casino in California had recently opened, and I drove by it to and from work. One night, the big CASINO sign was malfunctioning, two letters kept flashing off and on. So the sign was announcing to the world "CASINO... ASIN ...CASINO... ASIN ...". I called them to let them know and they thought it was a prank until they went outside and looked at it. The next night, it was fixed.

It's from my hometown in France ! Actually the municipality decided to build a new bridge to accommodate the tram. But the inhabitants loved the old bridge so much that they decided to keep the stairs as a souvenir...

Carpeted bathrooms and toilets used to be the norm in the UK, ours was when we moved to this house 30 years ago. Glad that we have got over that phase.
