40 Epic Design Fails That Are So Bad, We Can’t Believe They Actually Happened
"Crappy Design" (previously here, here, and here) is back, and it's the crappiest pile of crap that has ever been crapped. Alright, maybe that was a little harsh, but after you take a look at some of these "accidents," you'll definitely wonder how on earth can anyone greenlight and produce them. Putting the light switch right next to the fire alarm control? Yep. Designing a toilet that looks like it has just endured a large dose of diarrhoea? You bet. Scroll down to check out some of the biggest design disasters and upvote your (least) favorite ones.

Look Closely Between The 7.5 And 8.0
Zenozenobee 7 years ago
When I was in high school I failes a trigonometry test because my protractor was all wrong like that. Hopefully my math teacher was the one who suggest to check my material and who discovered the reason (and allowed me to pass a new test). I'm pretty sure this wasn't his first time...

That's why there was a memo at the school where I work a few months ago , that students shouldn't buy their protractor triangle at a certain store, quite popular for school supplies, because it just was all kinds of wrong... :')

Failed Bored Panda design- Accidentally swipe left or right and you have to reload and scroll through everything again to get to where you were. Oh, and let's make it over 300 posts so it's extra frustrating if it happens toward the end of the list.

We had a gorgeous thing happen here about a couple weeks ago. Had the pavement in a certain area covered in fancy new tiles, okay, nice. Then a few days later they suddenly come and put ASPHALT over it. Asphalt. On top of (new) tiles. Okay.....then at night(!) they come back and tear the asphalt off(??), damaging the tiles in the process, and in the morning they take off the rest of the tiles(...). Then they put new new tiles there(.......). The whole city's holding its breath in anticipation of what happens next now XD
