Making things takes proper design. Especially if your design will be used or purchased by the public. It’s important to design these things properly.
But that doesn’t always end up happening. Sometimes people get careless with their designs. And that results in a fail.
A big major fail. Sometimes these failures can end up being quite dangerous for others. You’ll see what we mean.
Here are 75 bad design fails to make you smh:
1) Do Drugs
This pencil is giving mixed messages. Are you too cool to do drugs? Or do you do drugs?
2) Mom of the Year
Mom and child thought this was smiley face pasta. Yeah… it wasn’t. Mom didn’t realize they were dongs until they were already cooked.
3) Don’t Be Happy
This is supposed to say: “Don’t worry, be happy.” But it looks like it’s telling you: “Don’t be happy. Worry.” It’s kind of a bummer of a shirt.
4) Coughing Emoji
This was actually put up in a school. The person who made it thought it was an emoji coughing. But that’s not what she’s doing. She’s pretending to perform a sexual act on a male.
5) Minion Shampoo
This Minion shampoo is strawberry scented. It was leaking. And now it looks like a nightmare.
6) Dudes Working Out
This is painted on the wall on a local gym. It’s very homoerotic, but I’m not so sure that it’s meant to be. It totally is though.
7) Hotel Steps
These steps are dizzying just to look at. I’d imagine that they trip someone up at some point. Probably not a great choice for insurance purposes.
8) Plastic
This book hates plastic. It’s offers ways to save the world from plastic. It’s just not taking it’s own advice. I’ve never seen any book wrapped in plastic, funny that this one is.
9) Kids Are Weird
This is a poor choice of placement for the author’s name. It makes the book seem racist. But I don’t think it is.
10) Broken Leg
This step design not only looks dangerous, but it is. Someone actually broke their leg on it. At least paint the actual steps a different color so that you know they’re steps.
11) Poop Shoot
This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “poop shoot.” Not the greatest design for a children’s playground. Unless they deliberately wanted to make kids laugh hysterically.
12) Banana Wrappings
Why the heck would you wrap bananas? They have their own wrapper. It’s called a peel.
13) Compass
Can you tell what’s wrong with this compass? If so, then you probably graduated from middle school. Not sure this designer did. I do love the rope around the pillow though.
14) Come and Find Out
Is this a seminar you attend if you want to get murdered? Because it sounds like it’s an invitation to be murdered. Not sure anyone would want to attend.
15) Pull
You’re supposed to pull to get into the entrance? Pull what though? Is this a entrance for Jedi only?
16) Five years
This sign just randomly hangs in the air. The person who posted it on Reddit has been trying to figure out what it means for the last five years. They still can’t figure it out.
17) Escalator to Nowhere
This has to be a joke. I can’t imagine that someone who was put in charge of making an escalator in a building would mess it up so bad. Are you supposed to jump over that moving railing?
18) Cousins
This would of been a fine picture frame. But then there was a really poor choices of photo to go in the frame. Now it’s a frame for married cousins only.
19) Nose Job
Cinderealla’s nose is looking a little bulbous. It’s just the way the puzzle piece it cut. It’s pretty messed up looking.

20) Somewhere Unexpected
You don’t want to end up somewhere totally unexpected when you’re flying. You want to end up exactly where you want to be. You definitely don’t want any surprises.
21) Bike Lane
It’s one thing to show the bike lane ending. But this one continues. You just have to jump over this railing first.
22) Street View
This is the street view from an apartment building. This apartment is on the ground floor and has a half bathroom. Yeah, that frosted window just doesn’t cut it.
23) Black & Gold
These products look way too much a like. I mean, this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Anyone want bug spray with your eggs?
24) Straight Pride Flag
This is so hilarious. This is a straight pride flag. Too bad the design is horrible. It looks super gay. There is nothing straight about that flag.
25) Splat
This isn’t the most attractive bathroom design. It looks dirty. Like splattered poop or something.
26) Butt Slide
This is another poor slide design. How does the kid even get into it? I just don’t get it.
27) The Bride and Groom
Is this bride and groom floating? They kind of look like they are hanging. It’s pretty macabre.
28) The Sprinklers
This does not look safe. That sprinkle is shooting water directly into an electric box. This can’t be a good thing.
29) Animal Anus
I don’t even know what this sign is supposed to say. Animal anus? That’s what it looks like it says.
30) Your Candidate
Is this guy alright? He doesn’t look alright. Someone get help.
31) Can I Get Your Number?
This boy appears to be asking for her phone number. But how is he calling her? He obviously already had her number. Maybe she called him first.
32) Useless
You’re looking at the world’s most useless golf ball. How the heck are you supposed to see where this thing goes? How are you supposed to find it?
33) Uploaded Logo
Someone messed up. They forgot to use the uploaded logo. Now this company has 900 of these pens.
34) Handicap Spot
This spray painted symbol would have you believe that this is a designated handicap spot. But how exactly is that supposed to work? Are you supposed to jump the curb with your car or wheelchair?
35) Stir
Are we stirring? Or are we not stirring? Make up your mind!
36) Swing
Someone hung this door wrong. It swings in toward the bathroom instead of outward. So they had to cut a hole in the door to accomodate the door swing over the toilet.
37) Road Post
This is a backroad near soemone’s house. Yup, that’s a giant metal pole in the middle of the road. Just waiting for someone to drive right into it. Thankfully, the people in this town are very alert.
38) German School
Yeah… maybe not the best. Does this teacher remind you of anyone? It’s a little to Hitlery.
39) World War 11
Is this plaque from the future? World War 11 never happened. That’s definitely supposed to be a two.
40) Long Arm Sally
This airport attendant has the longest arms I’ve ever seen in my life. That or the bottom sign should be on top. Someone didn’t pay attention while they were putting up this sign.
41) Super Shitters
This team is called the Super Shitters. They are super at shitting. Not really, it’s supposed to say super hitters.
42) Double Nose
Why does this mouse have two noses? That or he has a big ass mole in the middle of his head. Too bad, these would have been so cute.
43) Tooth Genitals
Since when do teeth have genitals? Why is there a leaf there? It seems to suggest that this tooth has genitals. And why is he blushing? Also, the hands on this guy are the most disturbing part of this whole thing.
44) White Rights
This looks like a white supremecy book. But it’s just poor placement. They should have sprung for the author’s entire name on the book spine.
45) Out to Dinner
This person was all set for a nice evening out at dinner. Too bad this beam is right in the middle of his face. I think that table needs to be pushed forward or something.
46) The Poo Professor
This totally looks like it says “The Poo Professor.” But then you read the sentence underneath it and it doesn’t seem so bad. VERY poor design choice. Especially considering the professor’s seated position.
47) Off Brand Mannequin
This store didn’t want to go in for the regular manequins. They figured they would go with the off-brand because it was cheaper. These just don’t look like realistic human women.
48) Elevator to Hell
Is this what the elevator to hell looks like? It’s giving me anxiety just looking at it. This is so bizarre.
49) Space Force
What color is space? Are there forrests in space? Why do you need camoflauge uniforms in space?
50) Fallout 4
That doesn’t look like a face. They were really close. And they tried. But that’s not a face.
51) Whiteboard vs. Permanent
These two markets look dangerously alike. You can completely ruin your whiteboard by using the wrong marker. Terrible idea for packaging.
52) 1th Floor
Are you headed to the firth floor? Probably not because it’s not a thing. Nor is the secondth.
53) Do Die
I don’t think this is a safety sign. These people just want you to die. They should just admit it.
54) Useless Eraser
Why does this pencil even have an eraser? It’s useless. Thanks a lot Mickey.
55) Where Am I Going
How the hell are you supposed to know where you’re going on this elevator? It’s insane. Why don’t the letters correspond?
56) High Drain
This drain is upraised. So, how the heck are things going to drain into it? It looks like they aren’t.
57) Red is the Coldest
Normally the color red is used to indicate heat. But not here. Here it represents the coldest temperatures.
58) Too Close for Comfort
These bins are a little too close for comfort. I have a feeling the USO is going to be receiving some trash donations. Very poor placement here.
59) Clock
Can you even guess what the hell this is? Or why the hell this is? It’s a clock. Yup, someone thought this was a good idea.
60) Weight Loss Tea
This is weight loss tea. But the pictures seems to indicate how you will lose the weight. From pooping a lot.
61) Paid Seat
Someone actually paid for this seat. Not sure why. You can’t sit in it.
62) On Your Toes
The people in this house want to stay sharp. That’s why they build these weird stairs with missing pieces of steps. If you’re not paying attention, you could break your neck.
63) Flawless Toilet
This must be a flawless toilet. One that never needs repair. Because there is no way to get into that tank if it does need a repair.
64) LLVE
This decoration at Bed, Bath & Beyond is supposed to express one’s love for Louisana. But it doesn’t quite work that way. Louisana is definitely not shaped like and “O” or anything that resembles one.
65) Vegas Vacation
This is one light I never wanted to see Clark Griswold in. Isn’t this supposed to be a family movie? I’m not trying to spin his thing.
66) Pennywise the Clown
This costume is both a fail and a win at the same time. It’s a fail because it looks nothing like Pennywise. It’s a win because it’s a far more terrifying costume.
67) Crappy Walls
That’s a real crappy wall design for a bathroom. Literally. It looks like someone smeared crap on the walls.
68) Table Cloth
This is the grossest table cloth I’ve ever seen. Did they chop off someone’s hair and embed it into the cloth? Because that’s what it looks like and it’s gross.
69) Pee Pants
Dude looks like he peed his pants. Why would you pay for pee pants? Pee pants, pee pants, he got on pee pants.
70) Narrow Wheelchairs Only
This is supposed to be a wheelchair ramp. But it must be for narrow wheelchairs only. You can’t get a regular-size wheelchair on the curb with this thing in the middle of it.
71) Hoemaker
Need a hoe? Come to this place. They breed hoes. They are the hoe maker.
72) The Institute
What kind of institute is this? A pornographic one? This looks like something shoved up a butt.
73) Unreachable Outlet
This outlet must have existed before these sliding doors did. That or someone messed up. Because this outlet is unreachable
74) Close Quarters
Not sure why there’s two urinals in here. No one is going to want to use them at the same time. They’re butts will be touching if they do. This was a new bathroom remodel too. I can’t imagine what the old bathroom looked like.
75) Tonix
Why does this cleaner look like a soft drink. They were probably trying to make it look appealing. But now it looks too appealing.
