30 Baffling Design Fails That Somehow Made It All The Way To The Finished Product
Some designs make you stop and go, “How did this get approved?” I’m usually willing to assume someone knows what they’re doing, but that gets harder when I’m looking at stairs that don’t line up with the front door.
I make mistakes at work, too. Thankfully, mine usually have a delete button. Once you’ve laid the bricks, fixing the problem becomes a much bigger conversation. I’d love to hear how that conversation goes, especially if everyone’s already been paid.
These design fails were spotted out in the wild by people who noticed what someone else apparently missed. Sure makes you wonder how anyone finished the job without saying something.
