15 Failed Designs That Someone Actually Made
Artists, architects, advertisers and many more are responsible for almost everything we see out in public or online on a daily basis. Someone had to put some intelligent thought into these creations in the hopes that we can best interact with our environment. Unfortunately, some people didn't understand that it's their one job. The results have been some pretty crappy or even cringeworthy designs that we just can't take seriously.
When someone messes up this badly, it can be counterproductive, dumb-looking, or even dangerous, but it's also really funny, as long as we're not the ones with the space heater attached to the inside of our shower. No matter how bad you are at your job, at least you didn't do this. Now, we all have to suffer the consequences when we discover one of these failed designs in public. Take a look at some of our favorites from concerned but amused citizens everywhere.
