When you have a planner drafting your house, a roof over your head is the bare minimum you expect. I wouldn’t call a set of windows a luxury either. But in reality, even in the most precise universe of architecture and engineering, errors happen. And the results are the monstrosities you’re about to see.

Thanks to the Twitter page “Bad Planning,” we have quite a split collection to look at. The page sarcastically describes itself as “a celebration of all the ‘smelly’ stuff imposed on our environment.” It adds that: “Perpetrated by Architects, Planners, Surveyors, Engineers & other environmental ne’er do wells.” Whoever created this page appears genuinely unforgiving.

Get ready to meet ‘Fencemageddon,’ heaters rising up the stairway, the house of all the planet’s windows, and other peculiar specimens. Scroll down, enjoy and upvote your favorites as you go!

    In my language, it's the Devil who is in the details. We always try to see the bad in every thing, to see the clouds behind the silver lining, in order to be prepared for when the smallest defect in the greatest plan will make everything backfire and fail miserably.

    =.= Hello again this picture. This is a building that was converted into a hotel, and this door is a fire safety legal requirement for all hotels. It indicates the level of the fire exit and blocks inescapable floors. Placed there so in the event of an emergency people don't run all the way down the stairs, end up in the basement with no exit, and die horribly.
