40 Designs That Are So Bad That It’s Hard To Believe Someone Came Up With Them (New Pics)
Human beings don’t always build things to last. Sometimes, they make such obvious mistakes that casual observers can’t believe they didn’t notice their design idea flaws from the get-go. Alas, we’re all flawed (much like some designs!) and most of us have a blind spot when it comes to the things we’re involved in.
Nonetheless, bad designs are a lot of fun to look at and laugh at. And there’s no place who does it better than the ‘Crappy Design’ subreddit! We collected some of the best, newest, crappy design fails from the Reddit community, so scroll down and enjoy. Remember to upvote your fave product designs gone wrong, and drop us a comment telling us why you loved hating them.
We at Bored Panda love creative designs, but we also adore really bad ideas, too. When you’re done looking through our awesome list, check out our posts about epic design fails, the very worst kitchen designs, epically bad bar and restaurant designs, and structural nightmares. We’re sure you’ll love these funny fails.

There are plenty of examples of bad design out there, but we can find some excellent designs here and there. And good design involves uniting the concept you have with the physical end-result of the product.
For instance, Ikea talks about how its design is “democratic” in that the company believes “good home furnishing is for everyone.”

You’ve heard that “function over form” is an important aspect of design, but have you ever considered that they can be (and should) united into one seamless whole?
Postmodernist Frank Lloyd Wright, who dedicated his life to crafting organic designs, coined the phrase “form and function are one.” According to him, form and function ought to be in “a spiritual union” instead of vying for dominance over one another.

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, the moderators of the ‘Crappy Design’ subreddit said that the community changed over the years.
“The original motivation for the subreddit was to point out crappy designs. Nowadays, most subscribers probably come here for entertainment. However, it is common to have meaningful discussion here on why or why not something is crappy design,” they said.

Straight Pride Flag Looks Totally Gay
So why are two men holding the flag, and not a man and a woman?
You know there aren't any women in that group. These men wouldn't want them there.

Look how tiny thier flag is and they're kinda holding it like a dead mouse
The pink is intended to represent attraction to the same sex only, the royal blue to the opposite sex only. Apparently, a straight pride flag is striped horizontally in black and white, The is called the Straight Pride Flag. It mimics the striped Gay Pride Rainbow by changing the rainbow colors into neutral shades of black, grey and white. (I just did a search. Not a specialist, I also really do not care because either way you look at it, a straight flag is bloody ridiculous)
Well they have male and female symbols on there. So which one is the girl?
Left: John, at night working as Charlene, the human matrass. Right: Joe who has quite a reputation as the human hoover.
Isn't this the "straight pride" event arranged by hate pastor Steve "cooking can be fun" Anderson?
It's getting to that point isn't it!? You can't be proud to be a straight white male!

But... We don't NEED straight pride. THEY have more rights than us. That's why gay pride is a thing!
This is so dumb y do people think that we need a straight pride flag u don't see me going around and stopping y'all from getting married
I didn't even know such a flag existed. Why exactly do we need one to start with?
Anyone endorsing the idea of 'Straight Pride' should be mortally embarrassed. How totally unnecessary.

These 2 are idiots anyway. There last 'rally' had a whole three people.
These two are totally scared to get too close together and it is peculiar as hell! Being Gay isn't contagious...or at least since I notice. Plus they don't look especially happy about being straight, it would appear.
we shouldn't be proud of who we f**k. That is the best kind of sex XD Unless you are a catholic priest. No seriously...I don't care for straight folks, gay folks, those dude's who identify as apache helicopters or whoever does strange things to their genitalia. Please just be a decent human being, respect others, don't force your ways on others and just enjoy yourself. Again...unless you are a catholic priest. XD
Wow, these two have no middle ground when it comes to attire, huh? One looks like a super straight serious drinker who couldn't bother to look in the mirror and button his jacket, the other is totally an undercover troll from the Gay Pride with them colors. Bruh...
I'm proud I'm not an attention seeking d******d who goes around stating I'm "proud" of my sexuality. How can you be "proud" of something you had nothing to do with or put any effort into. You're simply BORN with your sexuality. Dickheads. That includes the gay ones too.
The first pride was a riot. Its illegal to be LGBT in some places. Some get killed.
