There are millions of moments of great design out there, but there are also many moments of terrible, rude design, too. Some design elements are not thoroughly thought through, but others are thought about a little too much, and not in a good way. Marketing is a skill that some folks have chosen to use for evil. Evil design is usually to trick consumers, and it is frustrating to see.

There are tons of them out there, and some of them might be kind of surprising. It could be an inaccessible bench, some secret ingredient in a food item, or packaging that makes something seem a lot different than what it actually is. Whatever it may be, no one likes being tricked by the things they are buying.

Here, we have collected 25 photos of the most maliciously designed items, products, and structures around the world that people could not believe they were seeing. Enjoy this series of terrible products that are insanely silly.
