193 Epic Design Fails You’ll Find Hard To Believe Actually Happened
You could turn a blind eye to these designs if drunk students created them seconds before a deadline. But that's not the case. Bored Panda has created another list of hilarious design fails (previously here and here) that should not have seen the light of day in the first place, and it will tickle your funny bone.
From pulling tissues from Spider Man's ass to escaping an inflatable pirate castle through a vagina, users were definitely questioning the minds behind these creations. If some things sound better in our heads, some ideas definitely look better on paper, too. Scroll down to have a giggle and vote for your favorite submissions.

Feminists Know What's Up
Chris Nikolas Sara 8 years ago
The definition of "equality" is that everyone is the same, equal. So by adding "ladies first", it's no longer equal. Which is why I find some feminist logic ridiculous and kind of ironic and hypocritical.

This Is From An Official Survey Sent Out By My University
Alberto 8 years ago
the first 6 boxes are input boxes, so you can insert the number of children you have on that age range, and of course the last one is a check box, you are the only one confused, probably because there is no design difference to indicate that you should insert numbers there (and once you check the box for no children you went and assumed the are all check boxes) and yet people use this simple input field when making online shopping all the time and to write your date of birth on a paper form or any other standardized number input format
