It’s funny how the universe always seems to have its own plans.
We like to think we have control over the little things—like designing a poster or building a staircase—but every now and then, the cosmos reminds us who’s really in charge.
Whether it’s a door that opens into a wall or a sign that makes zero sense, these design fails are proof that sometimes, logic takes a backseat to chaos.
Maybe it’s human error, maybe it’s the universe playing a little prank on us, or maybe we just didn’t think things through.
Either way, these design disasters are here to make us laugh and scratch our heads in confusion.
Because really, if the world didn’t mess with us once in a while, where would we get our daily dose of “What were they thinking?”
