You ever see a design so stupid, so bafflingly unsafe, that it feels like a personal attack on common sense? Like—how did this get approved? Who looked at the blueprints and said, “Yup, that electrical outlet inside the shower checks out”?
These are the kinds of bad designs that somehow made it through multiple layers of approval despite clearly being created by people who’ve never interacted with the human body—or gravity.
From trip hazards to accidental guillotines, here are some dangerously stupid designs that are just begging for a lawsuit.
1. Not a great print for stairs.
2. Cool, glass that starts fire with the sun.
3. A sidewalk that makes your eyes feel like reality isn’t rendering.
4. I’m sure cutting hols in support struts for the HVAC won’t be a problem.
5. Why do people feel the need to get creative with stairs? Stop it.
6. Sure it keeps bikes off the ramp, but also strollers and wheelchairs.
7. “Sidewalks safe for children.” Okay.
8. An outlet/tripping hazard.
9. You can turn it off if you have the fastest hands in the west.
10. Maybe don’t make hand sanitizer look like a bottle of water.
11. This hallway is also an obstacle course.
12. They tried to make a ramp for wheelchairs, and failed.
13. perfect to catch bike tires.
14. Slippery camouflaged step next to the tub. What could go wrong?
15. At least the upstairs folks have heated floors?
16. A drain in the carpet is wild.
17.
18.
19.
20.
21.
22. Yeah, this is gonna cause some accidents.
23. Just what you want to see on your arthritis cream.
24. Pick the wrong door and you’re done for.
25. Great place for the drain to dump. I bet the ice spears in the winter are crazy.
26. Urban design at its finest.
27. Watch that first step…
28. Metal door handle inside the sauna. Great choice.
29. Curling iron where you don’t know which end to grab.
30. If it overflows the liquid goes right into the electronics.
