Design is everywhere around us: in the streets, on the bus, at work, and in our homes. And there are plenty of good examples. You probably have an app you love to use, a restaurant you love to visit for its ambiance, appreciate a great pair of shoes, and just know when you are having a great end-user, consumer, or human experience.

However, the opposite is also true. We detect whenever something has been made really poorly and in some cases, it can get really annoying. Or even uncomfortable. And the subreddit r/CreepyDesign is here to prove it. Created in 2013, this online community now has 568K members who are sharing unnecessarily freaky projects, and we can blame them for wanting to unsee these abominations.

My local hospital has "artwork" like this on all its floors. Like someone was murdered and dragged through the hospital. Very weird choice.

Just splash your menstrual cycle everywhere and call it a day.

I think it is to distract you from looking at the horrifying grunge that is about baseboard level along the door and walls. Nobody has deep cleaned those floors in a looong time

Clever! Fellow ladies and/or period havers, if your period is that heavy or bloody, go see a doctor. And trans men and non binary folk that have periods, don't get upset if you get diagnosed with a woman diagnosis. Just get healthier. ✌️

Why is the blood on the outside? Why would you murder anyone outside a bathroom?

I think that would make any self respecting lady turn around and hold it till the next stop. Does the men's door look like that too?

I'm not going to lie... and this is a bit grim.... but it looks like a female had a really bad case of a menstrual cycle, and exploded all over the door.... BLOODY hell, it must of been embarrassing when they were caught RED-handed as this is a definite crime against artisan nature lol 😆

I've cleaned women's public restrooms before, and I've seen this in stalls. Someone got crazy with their, aham, plug, and then left it stuck to the stall wall.

This is Woody. He is at a mall in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. I have seen him in person and he's very creepy. His eyes and mouth move and yes he talks!

Seems to me it’s a Casper the Friendly Ghost head they stuck on an octopus body and added the chains to hide the attachment line.
