Sometimes, people make mistakes when thinking things through. There are millions of moments of great design out there in the world, but there are also millions of awfully designed products and structures. Designing something like a great product or a helpful piece of architecture isn't easy, but some of the mistakes people make on them are unreal. It's kind of hilarious and kind of facepalm-worthy to see how badly some things are designed.
It's hard to say what kind of person signed off on the final design of these items, but some of them are shocking. It could be an accessibility ramp that isn't so accessible or a normal product that ended up being kind of inappropriate, these moments of bad design are total fails. Bad design is everywhere, and many people document and share it online.
Here, we have collected 25 photos of some of the most terribly designed, products and structures around the world that people could not believe were actually approved to be created. Enjoy this series of terrible products that are insanely silly.
