40 Designs That Are So Bad That It’s Hard To Believe Someone Came Up With Them (New Pics)
Human beings don’t always build things to last. Sometimes, they make such obvious mistakes that casual observers can’t believe they didn’t notice their design idea flaws from the get-go. Alas, we’re all flawed (much like some designs!) and most of us have a blind spot when it comes to the things we’re involved in.
Nonetheless, bad designs are a lot of fun to look at and laugh at. And there’s no place who does it better than the ‘Crappy Design’ subreddit! We collected some of the best, newest, crappy design fails from the Reddit community, so scroll down and enjoy. Remember to upvote your fave product designs gone wrong, and drop us a comment telling us why you loved hating them.
We at Bored Panda love creative designs, but we also adore really bad ideas, too. When you’re done looking through our awesome list, check out our posts about epic design fails, the very worst kitchen designs, epically bad bar and restaurant designs, and structural nightmares. We’re sure you’ll love these funny fails.

I Was In Warsaw This Week And Saw That,,,
Let’s All Just Try And Be Decent 6 years ago
A long time ago there was a tax for Windows, so if you couldn't afford them all, you bricked them up. It looks like this building was converted into apartments or something after that, by which time the floor levels wouldn't have matched up with the original windows so new ones would have had to be put in at different heights. It's a shame they couldn't include the original spaces and shapes somehow though, it does look a mess.

This Actually Isn't A Terrible Product... But The Image Isn't Inticing At All
Let’s All Just Try And Be Decent 6 years ago
Ooh, it makes sense though, that's kind of the only way to show that it's "fake transparent", so it looks like skin but has fleece on the inside. So this is actually kinda clever, and accurate.
