When it comes to design, we can't all be Leonardo Da Vinci. Sometimes, however, you see a product, advertisement, or structure that is so embarrassingly messed up that you have to wonder who even approved it. Some of them simply suffer from unfortunate placement, but others are just completely out of touch with reality. We're pretty sure the employees who came up with these ideas had a 'long talk' with their bosses after the fact.

Hence, we're bringing you round 2 of the best (well, technically worst) things people have posted to the "crappy designs" subreddit, though be warned - you may need some time to recover after seeing them. Vote for the ones that made you cringe the hardest, and let us know if you've encountered any of these design fails in real life. While you're at it, check out our previous list here.

Engineering genius. I would like to see how the guy presented it to the manufacturer and that guy says, "Great Idea". And then have the city actually purchase it to place it near a beach.

Who thought that this was ok? So many people must have been involved in the process from designer to the person who cast the 'items' to the person who put it together, the people who deemed it ok for a playground and then installed it.....did no-one think.... 'Just a Minute'?

That actually makes sense in Spanish... the "plus" is read as "más" so it reads "Idiomás", "Idiomas" means "Languages". But since they teach English, someone must definitely have seen it.... might be intentional?

lil known fact, Batman did have a green batsuit...................................... During one mission, Batman had to use several Batsuits with different colors in order to keep the attention on him instead of his partner, Robin. The different colors used were red, blue, orange, green and golden. There were also two special Batsuits: one was white with a bullseye on Batman's chest instead of the Bat-emblem and the second one was a "Rainbow Batsuit", which was probably Batman's most notorious batsuit. After this mission, Batman stored all the colored batsuits and never used them again.....................................

I feel like there is a sad story behind this. Like: the designer of the box had so many great & fresh ideas of what the PP could stand for, but nothing satisfied the management. He worked hours, days, weeks, only to learn, that his suggestions are worthless. Soon he started to feel wortless. He suffered from insomnia and depression, yet still tried. One day the CEO has reprimanded him severely, because of this issue. The CEO said: "You simply need to write something, that will say, that this pie is delicious. It's not that hard! Like 'delicious pineapple'... That's it! Write exactly that!". The designer tried to explain why this would'nt work, but he had to do it anyway... So he did, the bes way he could. And everyone laughet at thim after the boxes were ready. And because of that the same CEO had to fire him and force him to pay for the awful boxes (they were destroyed and other ones were used), not telling the truth to anyone...

While that is a fail, presumably you can still close it by pushing the handle down. Once it's clicked shut, you have to push the handle down to open it anyway. That could be solves by inverting the handle, I think.
