Pulled from the never-ending treasure chest that is r/CrappyDesign, this batch includes everything from signage that leads to nowhere to product packaging that makes you question reality. Whether it was a rush job or a cry for help, we may never know—but we’re glad someone snapped a photo.

Because sometimes bad design isn’t just bad—it’s accidentally perfect.
