Regardless of the career, it’s common for people to experience what’s known as “burnout.” 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 you’ll see with these 50 examples, these designers need to make a decision one way or the other.
1. Such an adorable couple
The couple who ordered a special cake topper for their wedding reception couldn’t 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.
2. 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?
This is downright frightening. How would you like to share the same workspace with someone who wears this blouse to work? High-end fashion isn’t this designer’s forte.
No matter how you look at this, it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Novelty cell phone holders are fun. But this one, it’s potentially dangerous.
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.
Okay, not really. When it comes to fashion, a lot of designers go way overboard. This is one of them.
Don’t worry, when the water pipe needs to go around a corner, this designer had a perfect solution. But there’s just one problem. The customer won’t ever be able to shower again.
Thanks to this designer, women will never have to spend another minute alone. If this had a body, it’d be okay. But as a choker?
9. Age wasn’t on his side
Due to all his years of fighting crime, poor Superman didn’t age very well. Hey, with an $8 price tag, the designer didn’t have much of a budget to work with. So, maybe we shouldn’t 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. 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?
Nope…just tell people to look for the house with the … uh … deer antlers. It’s visible from miles away. This designer needs more than one day off.
There’s no question that this designer wasn’t thinking straight. Please note … socks eventually stretch out. And for those with someone’s face on them, this is the result.
… not. Look, we understand that a lot of people enjoy luxurious items. But that should never mean sacrificing comfort or cleanliness.
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 wouldn’t have transformed a Rottweiler into a Doberman Pincher.
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).
Who in the heck was responsible for this? Whoever approved this design layout must’ve been sleeping on the job. Either that or they just didn’t care.
Doesn’t this designer realize what they’ve done? Whoever wears these shoes will be seriously limited as to where they can go. Salad bars, farmer’s 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 designer’s brilliant idea.
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, there’s 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.
Whoever uses this urinal has someone to talk to. Well, that’s if they don’t mind if the “person” is doing a handstand and has no head. Or that it’s not a person at all.
There are two possibilities here. First, people riding the elevator can’t see straight. Second, the designer had one too many alcoholic beverages.
And it comes with a beautiful kitchen complete with a luxurious center island. The realtor failed to mention its size. It’s a shame it’s only large enough for a small pie.
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.
Today, you can find shower curtains with all kinds of cool designs. But this isn’t one of them. Hang this in a house without telling everyone who lives there won’t result in anything good.
At first glance, these mice look kind of cute. But the longer you stare at them, you realize something’s wrong. How many noses do mice need, after all?
Sir, you look incredibly sexy. So, how many pieces of flannel does it take to make an ugly shirt like this? According to the “designer,” four.
No, just a, well, we don’t know what it is. Someone tried to get creative with balloons. They should stick to their other job.
Someone, help. Call 911 … there’s a woman who’s being attacked by two chihuahuas. Oh, never mind, they’re just disgustingly weird designer shoes.
Why don’t scientists just leave animals alone? Well, let’s rephrase that. Why don’t designers just leave animals alone?
32. Taking convenience to another level
Who doesn’t 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 didn’t take into account how many individuals would end up with broken noses from walking into the right restroom.
34. You can’t 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 … sort of … and social distance at the same time.
This is what you call a dual-purpose design. You know, it might not be all that bad. After all, someone could’ve 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. It’s perfect for … uh … give us a minute and we’ll come up with something, or not.
This is supposed to be Emma Watson as the “Beauty” from Beauty and the Beast. But something looks as though it went terribly wrong. We’d swear that looks more like the “Beast.”
38. You can’t 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 don’t believe it, check out this rug. One thing is perfectly clear. Geography isn’t the designer’s strong suit.
Wow, his smile looks so much better. For one thing, his teeth … or tooth … now sparkles. And for another, he has access to the internet everywhere he goes.
41. Every mover’s 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?
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.
Wasn’t 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.
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.
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 … you can take your drink with you thanks to one of these.
We’re pretty sure the conversation went something like this. “Hey boss, we have some extra brick leftover, what should I do with it?” “Uh, I don’t know, come up with some innovative design.”
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.
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 that’s all that matters, right?
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. That’s right. Some designer came up with an attachable fake tear and look, it’s so realistic.
Regardless of the career, it’s common for people to experience what’s known as “burnout.” 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 you’ll see with these 50 examples, these designers need to make a decision one way or the other.
