It's clear that some people don't think things through before making decisions. Designing something like a great product or a helpful piece of architecture isn't easy, but some designs are so bad that it's hard to fathom how someone could mess up so badly. Seeing these kinds of failed design elements is both concerning and hilarious.
There are tons of them out there, and some of them might be kind of surprising. An inaccessible accessibility ramp, a mug no one can drink from, or a sign that makes absolutely no sense, these are just some of the ways people can mess up something they have created. It can be upsetting to some, too.
The failures featured here are just some of the most recently reported failures, oversights, and failed designs seen around the world. Don't be fooled by one of these major failures and infuriating products.
