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!

    NO! Now this... THIS is going to get people killed! If the person responsible for such laziness gets anything less than total humiliation and banishment from Earth, I will be so disappointed.

    only a normal expansion joint, not covered with a grill, but present in ALL bridges like this. without this space the bridge will crash due to tensions of expansion and movements not discharged. may be scary, but necessary.

    this could be the expansion divide, but it is pourly placed tbh (at least cover it up or put elastic bitumen in it)

    Look at the metal underneath, that's what's holding it together. I live with an engineer, I showed him I love pissing him off with stupidity.

    I call 100% (not) bullshit! That bridge is not heald together by that peice of metal, all roads and bridges have rebar underneath them. I also guarantee that bridge is closed and someone thought it would be funny.

    No, no! It's not just two metal plates holding the bridge together-now that really would be stupid! They used an adhesive, too! Remember that old school, individually wrapped, pink bubblegum that smelled almost-like bubblegum, but not quite; you would break your teeth off trying to get it pliable enough to attempt to blow a bubble, but by then, your jaws were cramping, so you'd just stick it under your desk, when you were a kid in school? Remember the teacher telling everyone to scrape the gum off their desks? Those Engineers will pay off their student debt before that gum comes off. Thats a 50k piece of gum, folks........

    If this is in the USA I will ask, what the heck the city admin is doing??? Fix the dang bridges properly, we pay you enough taxes. Or does the city want to compensate millions to hundreds of victims when the bridge collapses?

    Looks like a lot of bridges I saw in Newark, NJ. Lots of exposed rebar around crumbling concrete.

    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.
