"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.

    They look crazy, but these are actually pretty effective space-stairs. You have to walk up and down them the same way every time (always start w the left foot going up), but if you only have room for a steep stairway, these are much more comfortable to use than a regular-shaped steep stairway, as they allow you to walk up and down normally. There are a few versions of this sort of thing, but they are actually pretty great.

    I once looked at a house for rent that had stairs like these. The owner told me that you had to start with the right foot to be able to ascend and descend them. The stairs separated the bedroom from the bathroom (and the rest of the home). Reason enough not to rent it.

    You always have to use the same foot for the correct step. Is this perhaps an art installation? Because WHO would really go for this? How could it hold up someone who weighed, say 230lbs +??? There is no support for weight, making me think it's art.
