59 Hilariously Infuriating Examples Of User Interface That Even Satan Himself Couldn’t Come Up With
What if web developers suddenly stopped caring about user interface friendliness? The internet would become a cruel place. This idea has intrigued a few web design programmers so much that they have started competing on Reddit, to try and figure out who can come up with the most annoying things for users.
Take the various forms we fill out, for example. We input our names, addresses, and phone numbers, submit the data, and instantly move on with our order. Someone wrote quite a few code lines on website design to make this experience as seamless as possible, and believe it or not; they didn't have to. Though these interfaces cannot be found on the worst websites ever, they're still painstakingly funny and annoying. Scroll down to check out the time-consuming monsters, and funny fails that will never see the light of day they could've created instead and upvote your favorites.

It was so hard trying to be the first caller when the radio station said "call now!"
You have to dial the first 6 numbers and listen and wait...then dial the last. Lol

My dad just got rid of his rotary dial on the wall in the kitchen when he finally got it remodeled. It still worked! It was his grandmothers old house so that thing was at least 50 years old, probably older. Those things sucked!
Why are the numbers in the wrong order?? (and, no, those days were c**p. God, the time you needed when a line was busy!! Maddening! And always having to sit in the damn hallway because cordless phones hadn't been invented yet. Even more maddening!)
I went to the Spy Museum in DC with my little cousin who was about 8 at the time a couple years ago. They had an exhibit about phone surveillance with a model of an old rotary phone with a bug hidden in the mouth piece. She was fascinated by the wheel of the dial and asked me what it was. "I said it's an old phone, that's how you had to dial." She smiled and preceded to poke her fingers in the number holes as if they were buttons. When I showed her that you gotta slide them around to dial the number she laughed and thought it was the most fascinating thing ever. "Y'all took a looooong time to dial back then." she told me. I never felt so old in my life.
kill me end me i may have been born after but i know how annoying those things are
ok... i was born in 1957, and the problem is ......? (but, the numbers ARE reversed and out of order; 1 should be shortest' 0 after 9 and the longest!)
Did no other old fogeys notice the numbers are in the reverse order? "1" was closest to the "stopper" and "0" at the bottom on actual rotary phones.
Oddly enough, I started dialing (in my mind) my old phone number from my childhood, and not my current one.
Am I missing the point here? All numbers except zero are in the wrong place. 1 should be where 9 is .
It's like those little games that look like petri dishes, where you ave to roll them around to get tiny silver balls into holes. And with the same frustration quotient!
If you don't get your lucky number, I guess you'll have to roll with it. ✨
That's the most absurd way of entering the phone number. I want it to become the norm. It fits this world we live in.
Um... binary anyone? But on the plus side, this is a great brain workout.
I like this one. Part time waster, part pretend DJ. Remember way back in the day when WindowsBC would show a flashing, pulsing fractal of sound waves to go with music you played?
These are so impractical yet... fun! But I would never want these permanently. ✨
Since sound is scientifically measured in decibels, why can't we have volume control in decibels? I'd like my tv at 70 dB, please.
Very fun, but most web developers already don't care about user interface friendliness for users with disabilities. Despite well-established practices and principles for creating accessible websites, the vast majority of websites remain poor to terrible in this regard. https://webaim.org/projects/million/
UI UX designer is crucial to just about everything. It renders the latest technology accessible to the masses, makes our favourite apps and websites a pleasure to use, and determines which brands and products we return to over and over again. To put it simply, design matters.
Are these for real or just someone's idea of a joke? I think my device would be hitting the wall if I had to deal with some of these.
Oh yeah, I saw this a while back. I made one too! http://jsfiddle.net/qojwmo7r/10
In hindsight I am really proud of how compact that is... elegant code for a terrible purpose. Yes, I shall use my powers for evil. Mwahaha.

Some of the input fields we already have are not too much better in terms of usability.
