Before deciding on how something like a sign, t-shirt, or book cover is going to look, someone has to review the final draft. However, someone must have been sleeping during the design meetings for these items because we don't know how they got to the market. From plant-dyed underwear that looked like someone had an accident to useless quotation marks on a police car, these design fails will make you appreciate the designers who put even a tiny amount of effort into their work.
Women's Pockets Can't Even Fit A Phone
Women's pockets never seem to be deep enough to hold anything useful, which is why we have to carry around purses. You usually don't see men carrying purses (unless it is for fashion) because their pockets can hold everything but the kitchen sink.
Sometimes women don't want to carry around an extra bag just because their pockets aren't big enough. Maybe men make the pockets on jeans so small, so women have to carry around purses, and then they can put more stuff in them.
Someone Assembled This Mannequin Before Having Coffee
Maybe someone was still hungover from the night before, or they haven't seen a child in their life, but this is not what a children's mannequin should look like. They probably couldn't find the right head and threw that on so it wouldn't be headless.
It doesn't have arms, and why did they need to put a man's head on it? This really is what nightmares are made of, and we do not want to see what happens when it gets dark and this thing comes to life.
The Most Intimidating Underwear We've Ever Seen
Whoever folded the underwear in these Diesel boxes must have been having a bad day because they left a strong message for everyone. If you read it in German, it means "The, the, the," but we all know what they were trying to say in English.
We get that it's their brand name, but isn't there a way to package things without telling people to die? We would just put the ending of the name even if it doesn't make sense in the window because it's much less intimidating.
We All Know What Happened To Snow White When She Ate An Apple, So...
We all know the story of Snow White - the evil queen dresses up as an old hag and gives her a poison apple. Snow White then falls into an endless sleep until her true love comes. Well, that is not great advertising because who would want to eat an apple when they associate it with poison?
Maybe the children won't remember that the apple hurt her, and they will just remember how delicious the apple looked before Snow White bit into it. Hopefully, they just remember that she is a pretty princess and apples are yummy.
One Armed Mother And A Demon Child = The Perfect Family
Apparently, this is a demon family because the mom is missing an arm and the daughter has horns like the devil. We don't know what planet this family is from but we would not want to be on that planet because it seems scary.
We are guessing they printed the girl's head upside down, which is why she has "horns." However, we can't explain what happened to the mom's arm. Maybe she is holding the dad's hand with both her hands.
Assemble This Chair And Then Sit On Another Chair
While these assembly instructions are much more straightforward than IKEA instructions, the ending doesn't really add up. Why would they build a chair just to sit on a completely different chair?
Maybe they want you to take a break and find inner peace before continuing the setup. We know how frustrating putting together furniture can be, but this step would make more sense if it meant taking a break.
Start To Finish Isn't That Far Apart
The person who made this maze really didn't think about challenging people, and they made the fireman look dumb because he could have figured it out on his own. It's only around the corner; he doesn't have to go that far.
Firefighter Kevin should go back to fire school if he didn't figure out how to get around one wall. We bet someone still messed up this maze because no one assumes that it is so easy to find the exit.
Bike Lanes With A Bit Of An Obstacle Course
Have you ever been riding your bike down a bike path and suddenly there is a small wall in the way? Maybe the person that made this thought it would be a good way to teach people how to jump an object sticking up out of the ground.
After waiting for a while to get a bike lane, the community was annoyed that they didn't think to make it completely smooth so people wouldn't get hurt. We guess people have to be BMX pro-level bikers to go on this bike lane
This Bulldog Wouldn't Scare Anyone
When this high school commissioned a bulldog for their school front yard, they probably imagined something more intimidating. Whoever made this statue had good intentions, but the execution was not what we would have expected.
When their rivals come for a sports game, they will probably laugh at the statue and think they can beat the opposing team. They should probably get a better-looking bulldog because that one is not something people want to see when they arrive each day.
Someone Thought This Should Go In The School Courtyard
Just when you thought school statues couldn't get any uglier, we raise you this school's mascot. We wouldn't even know this was supposed to be a wildcat if someone didn't tell us.
We wonder if the school put it up because they felt bad for the person who made it. Maybe they had to put it up because they paid for it and didn't want to waste money. Hopefully, they hid it away in the courtyard where no one has to look at it all the time.
A Toilet Seat That No One Would Want To Sit On
We are sure this person cleans their bathroom thoroughly; however, we would be uncomfortable using this toilet seat because it looks like someone had an accident all over it. We guess an acrylic seat with flowers in it wasn't the best decision in retrospect.
Maybe they should have thought this through before putting something like that on a toilet. What was wrong with regular toilet seats? Does everything have to be so extravagant? No one really cares what the seat looks like as long as it's clean.
The Pull Tabs That Make Life Harder Rather Than Easier
The little safety seal paper on top of the pill bottles is probably the most frustrating thing to take off. Somehow they actually make it harder to take the safety seal off, and it defeats their whole purpose.
Whose idea was it to create a pull tab that rips off the thing it is attached to? Maybe they should just make them easier to open, so people didn't have to struggle every time they want to open a pill bottle.
So You Want To Be COVID Positive?
COVID took over the world in 2020 and turned all of our lives around. The one thing no one wanted to be positive for in the past year was coronavirus, so this shirt makes absolutely no sense.
Why would anyone purchase a shirt that said COVID on it (unless there was a strong swearword before it)? It is something we all want to forget because it has been a rough year. We don't want commemorative shirts that will always make us think of the time when we were locked in our homes.
Someone Didn't Think About The Rain When They Made These Benches
The benches at this university are tilted back and have no drainage system. Unfortunately, it is in a place where it rains often. Therefore, all the water from the rain collects on the bench and doesn't drain for days so that no one can sit there.
Whoever built these benches didn't think about the rain or how the water would get off the bench. Students have no place to sit between their classes, and that's no fun after a rainy day when they want to enjoy the nice weather.
We Thought It Was Horribly Stained Until We Saw All The Details
Buying a mattress second-hand is always questionable because you don't know what the people did on it before you bought it. When someone saw this mattress listed online, they couldn't believe someone would post such a disgusting mattress.
However, when you take a closer look, you can see that it is just a design, but we can't figure out why someone would design a mattress like that. We can all take guesses of what it could be if it weren't a design, but luckily it was just printed like that for some odd reason.
A Dance Floor Where Everyone Can See Up Your Skirt
When you are dancing at an event, the last thing you want to think about is who is possibly looking up your skirt from the floor below. Whose idea was it to put a glass floor in a place where people can see from below?
It's strange that the place had to put a sign up for women to be warned that people can see up their skirts, instead of fixing the actual problem. People might not even see the sign, and everyone below will be geting a free show.
Did Someone Have An Accident?
Have you ever thought about dying a pair of underwear with plants? We are going to guess that you haven't but if you wanted to know what the results would be, here is your answer. They look like someone had a bit of an accident.
Luckily no one sees your underwear that often, so it wouldn't really matter if they looked like this, but if you happen to change in a locker room or in front of your friends, they might wonder what happened to your underpants.
How Many Cars Have Been Dented On This Hydrant?
This fire hydrant couldn't have been placed in a worse place. The person who installed it probably didn't realize this would one day be a parking lot, but the business that put a parking lot there should have accounted for the hydrant.
How many cars do you think have been dented while backing up because they forgot there was a fire hydrant in the middle of the parking lot? We would be so annoyed if we parked here and it accidentally hit this.
It's Supposed To Say "Heroes" Not "Herpes"
While the intention of this mug was sweet, someone forgot to look at the final design from all angles because it looks like the mug says herpes instead of heroes. No one wants to drink out of a mug with herpes on it.
People would rather not buy the mug, and then the people making it will lose money. It is always hard to make things look perfect when they are printed on the side of a mug, but they barely tried.
The Mannequins Look Like They Come To Life At Night And Hurt People
For some reason, when we look at this picture, all we can hear is creepy clown music playing in the background before the mannequins come to life and kill us. Why would anyone paint faces like this, and place the mannequins in those awkward positions?
We wonder if any children are scared when they have to walk past this window. It also seems to be a high-end store, so wouldn't they invest in nicer and less creepy mannequins?
It Looks Like Someone Was Already Practicing With The Paper
When this person opened up their origami kit, they realized the paper was already folded, which defeats the purpose of folding paper. When they use this paper to make a crane or whatever, it will have creases in it where they don't want them.
It seems strange that someone putting together an origami kit would think that folding it is the best idea. Hopefully, they have other papers to use because this one is not ideal.
Anna And Hans Got Some Work Done Since We Last Saw Them
Since we last saw them in Frozen 2, Anna and Hans got a bit of plastic surgery. Anna must have gone to one of the cheaper doctors in Beverly Hills because it looks like she got too much botox. Hans, on the other hand, looks like he has seen some crazy stuff.
We don't know what company made these dolls, but they look like something you would find at the dollar store. We hope the children who received these didn't get nightmares because of this.
Do They Have Enough Lights?
Why have a reasonable number of high hat lights when you could put one on every square inch of the ceiling? Whoever designed this room thought that there weren't enough lights and wanted to put them wherever they could fit.
This looks like the ceiling has acne or chickenpox with all the light everywhere. We would love to speak to the contractor and see what mindset they were in when they designed this room.
The Headboard Has A Power Button That Can Light Up The Whole Room
This headboard is really cool because it has a USB outlet for chargers that you can turn on and off. Although it is useful, the power switch lights up the entire room when the person is trying to sleep.
To make matters worse, blue light is the most disruptive and messes with your brain's ability to sleep. We would get some black tape and cover it so that it still worked, but it wouldn't be annoying.
Someone Didn't Think This Black Friday Flier Through
When this store made their Black Friday fliers, the designer didn't think their idea through because it looks like it says "Black Kids Sale." The word Friday is not only hard to read, but it is in such a light color that you can barely see it.
Hopefully, they aren't trying to sell children of any kind because that is horribly unethical and increadibly illegal last time we checked. Next time someone tries to make a flier for this store, they should check how it looks to other people's eyes.
Demon Elsa Haunting Elementary School Everywhere
Why is it that Disney characters get turned into the creepiest products? This Elsa backpack could not look any more like a demon with the eyes pushed away from her face.
We wish we could get this picture out of our minds, but Elsa will probably haunt our nightmares tonight. How can something so innocent be so terrifying? We wish we could have shown this picture to the designer before it was mass-produced.
The Most Random Windows We Have Ever Seen
"You get a window, and you get a window, and you get a window!" What was this contractor thinking when they designed these windows that are placed in the most random spots.
The OCD inside of us would go crazy with the windows like this because it is so uneven and scattered. If we saw this house on the market, we would immediately lose interest the second after seeing these windows.
Is The Child Giant Or Is The Saint Bernard The Smallest One In The World?
Saint Bernards are one of the larger dog breeds out there, so unless that child is huge and the pool is the largest one in the world, someone messed up the proportions here.
Also, why did they choose to put this dog in the pool with the child? Maybe they were inspired by the scene in Beethoven when the dog saves the little girl after she falls into the pool. Whatever the situation, this ad makes no sense.
The Unfortunate Fastener Placement On This Advertisement
This sandwich board was advertising Senior Day, and unfortunately, they put the fastener in the most bizarre place. It seems that Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter did survive even though he was presumed dead.
Hopefully, the man who modeled for this picture never sees this because that would just be hurtful. Someone didn't think about the space needed for the fasteners, so they simply had to make do.
The Steam From The Oven Always Messes Up The Touch Screen Settings
While having a touch screen is sleek and high-tech, the fact that it doesn't work if it gets even the slightest bit wet is useless. Every time this person opens their oven, the steam comes out, and the touch screen settings get all messed up.
How are they supposed to cook anything when they can't use their oven properly? We would be so frustrated if this happened all the time, but they should have thought this through when creating the oven.
Apparently This Soda Syrup Has Zero Taste
Although we know that they mean it has zero calories, anyone who reads it quickly will think it has zero taste. This is the knock-off brand of soda syrup, so you can't really expect much. Maybe they don't have much taste.
Some people really don't think about how things are going to look when they are printed on a product, and it shows. How did this get on the shelves without someone fixing the design first?
Modern Condo With A Quarter Of A Kitchen
We have seen many ridiculous apartments before with weird lighting, unsafe wiring, and bathrooms in the most bizarre place, but we have never seen something with only a quarter of a kitchen.
How is anyone supposed to fit in there to cook or open a drawer even? This has to be some kind of a joke because you can't even reach most of the kitchen.
How To Not Sell Birds In The Museum Shop
How is it at all appealing to someone coming through a gift shop to see that these birds look like they have nooses tied around their necks? It is quite disturbing for anyone, especially if a child sees this. Why didn't anyone think about this?
It seems like whoever put these out really hates birds. Don't get us wrong, we dislike birds as much as the next person, but we would never want them to have a grim ending like this.
A Moment Of Silence For All The Keys Lost In The Grate
The person that put the mailboxes in front of the sewer grate must really hate people who want to get their mail. We can only imagine how many people have dropped their keys and been without mail for weeks because of this mailbox.
Imagine you dropped your keys down there multiple times in one week. At some point, these people probably try to intercept the mailman so they don't have to worry about using their mailbox keys at all.
That Would Be A Lovely Surprise To Walk Downstairs And See Someone On The Toilet
Since this looks like something you would find in a bar, we would be concerned that a drunk person would fall down trying to use the restroom. It also seems like this is how employees get to the basement, and there is no privacy for customers.
It looks just like the bathroom from Parasite, and just looking at it makes us want to take a two-hour shower. How would anyone even think this was legitimate?
Dead End Sign At The End Of The Path
When these people got to the end of the path and saw the "Dead End" sign, all they could think was, "Thanks, captain obvious!" If the path ends there is clearly nowhere else to go, and people would figure that out without a sign.
The municipality must think these people are too dumb to realize the path ends without a "dead end" sign. We would almost be offended by the fact that people think the public needs this obvious sign.
How Many Mustaches Can One Person Have?
This man in a training video for work has two mustaches. Maybe the animator thought, "Why have just one mustache when you could have two?" It is probably quite distracting, and they are likely not learning much from the training.
Didn't the graphic designer watch the video before sending it to the final cut? They surely would have noticed that the man has two mustaches because he is staring at you right in the face. They must not have been paying attention to those small details.
Is This Trophy For Golf Or Assault?
When people make trophies, they usually have a set mold, and there is only one person on top of the trophy. However, the trophy has two people on it, and it looks like they are about to beat each other with those golf clubs.
We don't know what kind of competition they won, but we hope it wasn't a competition to clobber each other. Maybe it was a couples golfing tournament for those at the cusp of divorce. Whatever the case may be, this just doesn't look right.
Don't Come Stumbling Into This House Drunk At Night
"Welcome to our home. Would you like to topple down the stairs as you enter our foyer?" The contractor of this home must have had it out for the owners because it would be so easy for someone to trip on their way in and go head-first down the stairs.
Maybe the people who own the home had one too many demanding requests, and the contractor decided to make the staircase like this as revenge. It doesn't look like a safe place to be when you are intoxicated.
This Bowl Looks Like It Never Gets Clean
Have you ever eaten out of a bowl, and it won't come clean after? These people probably spent hours scrubbing this bowl only to realize that it was part of the design. Why would someone make a design that seems like the bowl is always dirty?
We would use this to prank someone we didn't like to make them think we gave them food in a nasty bowl. Doesn't this make you want to take a sponge and scrub it until the yellow is gone?
"Moisturizing Gloves" Turn Your Hairy Elderly Hands Into Hairless Young Woman Hands
Something doesn't add up here. The before picture is a pair of hair man hands, while the after picture is a smooth pair of delicate young womanly hands. These gloves might be great, but they can't work miracles! Unless these gloves are magic, this ad could not be more off.
Didn't the designer know that people would realize these are two completely different hands? At least they could have used a pair of smooth man hands for the after picture to make it slightly believable.
She Has A Giant Head And A Tiny Hair-Free Body
When people create packaging designs, there are usually a few phases the design goes through before it is produced. Therefore, someone should have noticed how strange this wax box looked with the woman's large head and tiny body.
Maybe they want you to know that you might get a big head when you use this wax, but at least you will be hair-free. There are some positives and negatives to that, but in the end, you could have strange proportions like the woman on the box.
Nothing Says Happy Camping Like A Coffin-Shaped Cookie
When we think of camping, we think of trees, tents, an RV, fire, and s'mores, lots of s'mores! Well, whoever put this camping-themed cookie cutter set together had darker ideas. We wouldn't put camping a death together in the same sentence, but they must have had a traumatizing experience.
Hopefully, the people who bought this didn't bring coffin cookies to their camping trip because that would send some mixed messages to the people they went with. If someone brought those, we would think they had plans to murder us.
The Color Indicators For This Graph Don't Quite Match Up
The world may never know the percentages of natural disasters in Turkey because the graph key doesn't match up with the chart. Why bother color-coding each disaster when they decided to use pictures in the end? Someone missed the memo here.
While we could just read the key to see the percentage of each natural disaster in Turkey, some people are visual learners, and this would completely confuse them. How long was this printed before someone said, "Maybe we should fix this?"
Healthy Smoothies For Everyone?
Typography is a special talent in design because they are able to find the right fonts and layouts for a project, and this person clearly doesn't have the eye for it. How are people supposed to know that this says healthy smoothies?
At first, we thought, "What is heal thy smoo thies," but then we said it faster, and it was like one of those wordplay games. However, no one wants to start decoding signs when they are looking for something while walking down the street.
People Will Never Learn To Not Put Faces In Corners
After seeing many pictures of faces messed up when they are plastered across the corner of a room, you would think companies would learn not to design an advertisement like this. The girl's face is messed up, and she is supposed to be the focal point of this design.
People who walked past this probably wondered, "What did that model do to the designer to be embarrassed like that." No one will know how amazing her outfit is now that it is cut off by the corner.
Who Did This To The Bunny?
When you go to the dollar store for Easter toys, you can't expect much, considering they only cost a dollar. When this person went into the store, they found this bizarre toy that shoots blue balls out of the rabbit's mouth, and it just didn't feel right.
What did this bunny do to deserve a ball shoved in its mouth? It sends a strange message to children, and we don't think many parents would approve of this, even if it is just a dollar.
The Rayquaza Figure That Looks Like It's Projectile Vomiting
The Rayquaza is a type of Pokemon that is known for its air locking abilities. We don't know what "air locking" is exactly, but we don't think it is supposed to look like the Rayquaza is projectile vomiting onto the ground.
Its ability to affect the weather probably has nothing to do with shooting green liquid out of its mount, which is why people probably wouldn't buy this toy. Whoever thought of this design must have never played Pokemon before.
Since When Does A Man's Chin Look Like That?
While people's faces come in all different shapes and sizes, we are almost 99 percent positive that this is not what this man's chin looked like before he used this beard growth product. Unless he is the real-life Crimson Chin, we doubt his face was that elongated without a beard.
Whoever designed this poster didn't realize that a person's face will look much different without a beard, and their face wouldn't be morphed like this. Someone needs to study beardless faces before they design faces.
