Some designs make life easier. Others make you question reality.
This collection is dedicated to the second kind—the ones so bafflingly bad that they defy logic, common sense, and basic human decency.

Maybe someone was in a rush. Maybe they just stopped caring. Maybe chaos was the goal all along.
Whatever the case, the result is the kind of accidental comedy that only funny design fails can deliver.
So if you’ve ever walked into a building and immediately regretted it, or squinted at a label trying to figure out what went wrong, you’re in the right place.
Here are some of the worst offenders the internet has to offer.
