"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.

This is not a design fail, this is a proof of how a sustainable future is destroyed, one stupid and selfish decision at a time.

As a legally blind person who learned to read Braille, I can attest that while this IS a bad tactile design, a person who reads Braille can read those dots just as easily as the rest of you read those numbers with your eyes. You'd be surprised just how well your fingers can provide your brain with a ton of tactile input.

They would have a better chance to just feel the numbers.

My niece is blind. They had a national convention at a hotel. The braille was upside down on every single sign, including all the room numbers.

An apartment complex I stayed at had an electric keypad for drivers to enter the access code to the parking garage. There was braille on the keypad on the driver's side. I laughed every time I saw it just imagining a blind person driving and trying to feel for the numbers to enter the garage.

Actually it's all brail and it talks about the contractor and how he doesn't know how to build things.

Its Braille (if you're not sure it's bumpy text the blind use to read with there fingers) and if its on a bumpy area it defeats the purpose of finding dots if it's among other dots
