Regardless of the career, itโs common for people to experience whatโs known as โburnout.โ That means after doing their jobs for a long time, they become tired of the work. As a result, mistakes happen.
This even applies to designers. At that point, an individual either chooses a completely different career path or just needs to take a day off. As youโll see with these 50 examples, these designers need to make a decision one way or the other.
1. Close encounters of the strange kind
This bathroom was designed for uninhibited men only. Anyone who deals with shyness will need to go somewhere else. Seriously, what was this designer thinking?
2. No GPS required
Nopeโฆjust tell people to look for the house with the โฆ uh โฆ deer antlers. Itโs visible from miles away. This designer needs more than one day off.

3. Thatโs creepy
Thereโs no question that this designer wasnโt thinking straight. Please note โฆ socks eventually stretch out. And for those with someoneโs face on them, this is the result.
4. Feels so good โฆ
โฆ not. Look, we understand that a lot of people enjoy luxurious items. But that should never mean sacrificing comfort or cleanliness.

5. Itโs revolutionary
Would you look at that? Not only does this anti-bark product stop dogs from barking but it also changes their breed. Obviously, this designer knows nothing about canines. If they did, they wouldnโt have transformed a Rottweiler into a Doberman Pincher.
6. Flying off the shelf
Okay, not really. When it comes to fashion, a lot of designers go way overboard. This is one of them.

7. Flawless execution
Donโt worry, when the water pipe needs to go around a corner, this designer had a perfect solution. But thereโs just one problem. The customer wonโt ever be able to shower again.

8. A womanโs best friend
Thanks to this designer, women will never have to spend another minute alone. If this had a body, itโd be okay. But as a choker?

9. Age wasnโt on his side
Due to all his years of fighting crime, poor Superman didnโt age very well. Hey, with an $8 price tag, the designer didnโt have much of a budget to work with. So, maybe we shouldnโt come down so hard on them.
10. My, what a big head you have
We get it. The dress design is supposed to create a thinning effect. Unfortunately, the only thing it accomplished was to make her head look huge.

11. Such an adorable couple
The couple who ordered a special cake topper for their wedding reception couldnโt figure out why the designer was ignoring their calls. Finally, they got a photo of it. The person who did this needs an entirely different career.

12. Nightmare-producing toothpaste holder
More than likely, adults will find this product funny. On the other hand, kids will have nightmares for years. After all, who wants a dog spitting on their toothbrush?

13. Eye see you
This is downright frightening. How would you like to share the same workspace with someone who wears this blouse to work? High-end fashion isnโt this designerโs forte.

14. Bad idea
No matter how you look at this, itโs a disaster waiting to happen. Novelty cell phone holders are fun. But this one, itโs potentially dangerous.

15. Happy Motherโs Day
What a wonderful gift. Now, this mom can cuddle with her kids anytime she wants thanks to these customized pillows. Just watch, at their next bonfire, the flames will be super big thanks to some unknown accelerant.
16. Too many decisions
Running out of toilet paper in a public restroom is so embarrassing. But people who use this one never need to worry about that. A designer came up with an amazing solution (note the sarcasm).

17. Just one question
Who in the heck was responsible for this? Whoever approved this design layout mustโve been sleeping on the job. Either that or they just didnโt care.
18. Why, just why?
Doesnโt this designer realize what theyโve done? Whoever wears these shoes will be seriously limited as to where they can go. Salad bars, farmerโs markets, bunny farms, anywhere in public.

19. Bike safety is paramount
Every year, thousands of bicyclists sustain injuries. But those who ride this path are completely safe. All thanks to this designerโs brilliant idea.

20. Take a guess
What do you want to bet this toilet was ordered for a dental office? You have to wonder if they saw it before it was installed. And people wonder why children are so afraid to visit the dentist.

21. Definitely a female designer
Yep, thereโs no question about it. Regardless of what inspired her, this is wrong. Just imagine parents trying to explain to their kids why all the adults at the pool are laughing.
22. Close friends
Whoever uses this urinal has someone to talk to. Well, thatโs if they donโt mind if the โpersonโ is doing a handstand and has no head. Or that itโs not a person at all.

23. Canโt see straight
There are two possibilities here. First, people riding the elevator canโt see straight. Second, the designer had one too many alcoholic beverages.
24. Home for sale
And it comes with a beautiful kitchen complete with a luxurious center island. The realtor failed to mention its size. Itโs a shame itโs only large enough for a small pie.

25. Lawsuit in 3, 2, 1
Two people are to blame for this one. That includes the designer who has no business working in the textile business. The other is the hotel manager who authorized the installation of this carpeting.

26. Not even funny
Today, you can find shower curtains with all kinds of cool designs. But this isnโt one of them. Hang this in a house without telling everyone who lives there wonโt result in anything good.

27. The nose knows
At first glance, these mice look kind of cute. But the longer you stare at them, you realize somethingโs wrong. How many noses do mice need, after all?
28. So handsome
Sir, you look incredibly sexy. So, how many pieces of flannel does it take to make an ugly shirt like this? According to the โdesigner,โ four.

29. Abstract art?
No, just a, well, we donโt know what it is. Someone tried to get creative with balloons. They should stick to their other job.

30. Dog attack
Someone, help. Call 911 โฆ thereโs a woman whoโs being attacked by two chihuahuas. Oh, never mind, theyโre just disgustingly weird designer shoes.

31. The hybrid kind
Why donโt scientists just leave animals alone? Well, letโs rephrase that. Why donโt designers just leave animals alone?

32. Taking convenience to another level
Who doesnโt love products that make life easier? This designer came up with something that people either love or hate. They can wear it as a headband or if they get hungry, eat it.

33. As plain as the nose on your face
So, you would think. The person who designed this thought there was no way people would walk into the wrong restroom. And they were right but they didnโt take into account how many individuals would end up with broken noses from walking into the right restroom.
34. You canโt be too careful
A lot of people are taking the necessary precautions during the pandemic. But for those who want optimal protection, a designer came up with this. You can wear a mask โฆ sort of โฆ and social distance at the same time.

35. So, which is it?
This is what you call a dual-purpose design. You know, it might not be all that bad. After all, someone couldโve worn this in 2017 and then again in 2020.
36. Something everyone should own
Hats look great on a lot of people. Take this one for example. Itโs perfect for โฆ uh โฆ give us a minute and weโll come up with something, or not.

37. Swapping faces
This is supposed to be Emma Watson as the โBeautyโ from Beauty and the Beast. But something looks as though it went terribly wrong. Weโd swear that looks more like the โBeast.โ
38. You canโt make this stuff up
We suppose these would be okay for a nurse. But in that case, the designer needs to make them look more realistic. Yeah, a red smear on each would do.

39. The ever-changing world
And if you donโt believe it, check out this rug. One thing is perfectly clear. Geography isnโt the designerโs strong suit.

40. What an improvement
Wow, his smile looks so much better. For one thing, his teeth โฆ or tooth โฆ now sparkles. And for another, he has access to the internet everywhere he goes.

41. Every moverโs worst nightmare
Moving furniture into homes is a tough job as it is. But in this building, it just got a lot tougher. Can you imagine being the moving company with customers who live there?
42. Beautiful, darling
This woman ordered a custom gown for a very important upcoming event. She found who she thought was the ideal designer. Your heart breaks for her.

43. Excellent coverage
Wasnโt that nice? Officials had a cover designed to keep people from getting wet as they got off the bus. There are no words.

44. No one will ever know
Your secret is safe here. We promise not to tell anyone. Besides, those ripples look just like real muscles.

45. Hide and seek
Everyone loves a good game of hide and seek. That includes the person who designed this bathroom. This would be a perfect time to be a fly on the wall.
46. So classy
You go out for fine dining, which includes a dry martini with an olive. But something comes up and you have to leave. No problem โฆ you can take your drink with you thanks to one of these.

47. No excuse
Weโre pretty sure the conversation went something like this. โHey boss, we have some extra brick leftover, what should I do with it?โ โUh, I donโt know, come up with some innovative design.โ

48. Super chic
Do you want to be the coolest girl at the beach this year? All you need is a pair of sandals like these. Not only are they cute (interesting) but they also look delicious.

49. Just do it
We have no clue if these are authentic Nike sunglasses. We sure hope not. Regardless of the brand, the guy wearing them thinks he looks fantastically cool and thatโs all that matters, right?

50. How to fool everyone
Whether you lost a starring role in a movie, broke up with your significant other, or got fired from your job, you can now garner sympathy everywhere you go. Thatโs right. Some designer came up with an attachable fake tear and look, itโs so realistic.
