We've all heard about crappy design, something that turns a blind eye to user-friendliness, logic and common sense, aesthetics, and people in general. We’re talking billboards, TV ads, product packaging and product design, websites and apps, you name it.

The phenomenon of crappy design is that no matter how much our marketing strategies and advertising techniques have evolved in the past decades, it still finds its place in our daily lives. Check out some examples of crappy design in Bored Panda’s previous features here, here and here.

This time, we are taking a step further. Sometimes the design is so annoying, senseless and defunct that it seems like the brands are doing this deliberately or at least without shame. There’s even a whole corner of reddit dedicated to cases “when a*** design things.”

With a whopping 2.9 million members, the community pokes fun at the mentality that “nothing comes before profit, especially not the consumer.” Below, we wrapped up some of the evilest designs, so let us know what you think of them in the comments!

Bad design can be found everywhere, from the products we use every day to the websites we visit. Poorly designed products can be difficult to use, causing us to waste time and energy. They can also be dangerous, as faulty product or packaging designs can lead to accidents.

Meanwhile, websites with bad design can be hard to navigate, preventing us from finding the information we need. They can also be visually unappealing, making us less likely to return. At the same time app can have a very bad user experience which means people will be reluctant to use it. From confusing navigation to cluttered layouts, anyone can spot a very poor design.

Pinterest is a cesspool. I found some of my facebook photos had been uploaded on pinterest. A girl (wannabe maker/influencer/scammer) reuploaded them with her watermark and used them as example of her creations. Had to subscribe to the website to report the images, and after weeks of waiting... nothing happened. Zero answers, support or even an automated mail. In the meanwhile those images were stolen by others and popped around for a while on other websites, mostly on ads of promoting scams. Stopped uploading my work anywhere.

Jerk designs seem to take a step further than simply bad designs and come across as downright unethical and immoral. They snuck their way into the products and services we consume, and sometimes we don’t even notice them.

According to Danny Sapio, the lead product designer at Method and cofounder of Confettihabits.com, shrinkflation is a classic case of less product and more profit. “Companies use this tactic to discreetly sell less of a product at the same price that it was before.”

Moreover, Sapio argues that “companies can do this through labeling by displaying “FAMILY SIZE” or “PARTY SIZE” despite it being the same amount as the regular item.” For us, the unsuspecting shoppers, it’s something that’s really easy to miss.

Another great example of jer design practices is the use of lethal enforcers. They require the user to take the action that the company wants before they can do what they intend to do.

“Lethal enforcers are essentially a way that companies gatekeep the decision making for users. Instead of giving users a free choice, the company decides for the individual the decision that should be made then makes that their only choice,” Sapio explained.

An example of a lethal enforcer is when you want to write a review on Yelp but have to download the brand’s app first. “Or when a company suppresses relevant search results to display sponsored products or content.”

Sapio also urges to look out for one of the trick questions known as the loaded questions. They take an advantage of our good nature. “We assume that we don’t need to read the entire question because we’ve already collected the information we need to answer it.”

Another very shady design practice is throttling. “Throttling is when a company intentionally downgrades the service or product with the hopes that the customer upgrade. This is different than forced obsolescence because the product still works; it’s just much slower and shittier than it used to be,” the product designer explained.

It turns out that even giant brands like Apple have been found guilty of this. Apple has settled a class-action lawsuit over its practice of slowing down older iPhones, agreeing to pay up to $500 million to impacted consumers.

“Another example is ‘unlimited’ data providers that sneakily slow down internet speeds once they pass a certain threshold of data usage,” Sapio concluded.

One of the worst things about this is that the adapters I've found to be practically disposable. I've been through maybe 20 of them, tried every price range, and they all break within a month or so. Such a racket.

Gee, I wonder who they would arrest for that 'abortion' these days? Because most miscarriages are called abortions. God, how low can this country go?

Went to Paris by plane before covid. Never again. I'll take the train from now on. Being at airport hrs early to check in bags. Flight delayed. Going through customs and the waiting game starts. Finally 3hrs after I arrived at the airport we took off for a short flight Amsterdam - Paris. Landed had to wait for the plane to be unloaded. Then we were send ti the wrong exit. My fiance was waiting elsewhere. Finally I found her and then we needed to get a taxi back into Paris. I left home in the morning and it was evening when we finally reached her sisters appartement. Took the high-speed train the Thalys this summer. Left home took the first train to Amsterdam Central Station. Waited 15min for the Thalys to arrive. Bagage in the bagage compartment. Small bag with me to my seat. And about 3hrs later we drove into Gard du Nord Paris. Took my bag from the compartment. Walked out the station and stood in the middle of Paris. With a subway station right underneath the train station 🚉 > ✈

When your plane seats look more like the seats on an amusement park thrill ride, it doesn't exactly scream "safe flight".

Yeah, the person who thought this up should have to fly in one for all eternity.

They're training people to accept the next innovation: peddles to power the plane. Those things look like bicycle seats.

The idea is not that bad, if the tickets are indeed cheaper, and flight is not long. But I wonder how it adjusts to different height of passenger and how do they fare in terms of safety.

You have GOT to be kidding me! Lol. So they save a few hundred bucks on the missing seat parts and charge their customers less for the inconvenience and burden of standing during the flight?? Doesnt this violate safety standards on take-off? This seat better be on a flight of no more than a 10-minutes.. hahaha

Its coming soon! They're designing it this way so they can stack them ontop of each other. The other option is first class

I hate that seat design on rollercoasters, which last a matter of minutes. Being trapped in one for hours at 30,000 feet? Nope!

And how do disabled travelers fly with them? I can't stand up and my legs don't work but I still fly and like to travel! Or are they going to have accessible seat at the front (which thankfully by law they can't charge extra for!)

Better be one of those Kardashian 3mins flights! But of course, you probably won't know it's those seats until AFTER you book and get to the airport the day of your trip. :/

To reduce the flights weight and thus fuel consumption we will now only allow passengers in their bathing suit. Anything else needed will be provided at a low rent cost at your hotel.

I'd like that, I never sit in a chair. I either stand or sit on the floor. So more comfort for me and it comes at a reduced price, yay! Oh and probably the place next to mine won't be taken as well.

They should have just said the hotel is FREE, then charge the $99 as a booking fee or something. Who wouldn't like a FREE hotel, eh?

Bloatware has long been a feature on Android phones, with some major manufacturers like Samsung installing a lot of their own software on top of Android. At least allowing the app to be disabled allows the user to stop it from running automatically.

You can jimmy them open, it's a basic bic lighter base inside. It's a disposable product though, not planned obsolescence.
