Whether we're talking about the subreddit Crappy Design or the Instagram account Ugly Irish Houses, the Internet seems obsessed with tasteless crimes against aesthetics and functionality. If you are too, the Twitter account "Cursed Architecture" is right up your alley.

Its hellish content includes strange angles, melting paint, vaguely threatening toilets, stairs that lead to nowhere, and more. Basically, the kind of stuff that architects and interior designers would imagine in a horror-comedy. But believe me, you don't have to be an industry pro to appreciate these pictures. They're so bad, us regular folk will get them as well. Enjoy!

cool, but imagine running up or down the stairs, then having to call 911 and tell them that the stairs impaled you.

I didn't realize the hole (stairs for further down) until I made the pic bigger. So many things wrong in this pic.

Eh... not that bad, just be careful when carrying stuff up and down.

I cannot think of a single city in the states in which this staircase would pass inspection.

Even my cats would say, "No!" and generally they'll try anything.

"Yes, you may go," said Moloch the Devil. "These are the stairs out of the Underworld, your final test." ... To this day you can still hear the Devil's laughter as they tried to escape. Each step up the ladder burned as they climbed, but finally the Adventurer and his lost lover, now rescued, ascended back to the world of the living. Then they discovered they were in New Delhi. "We should have stayed in Hell." She says.

I don't see how you would get to it. Looks like it's empty space below those steps.

I thought setting up murder to look like an accident was supposed to be subtle.

I'm very certain that I'm neither light enough nor agile enough to climb those things.

I'm pretty sure I've seen these stairs in my nightmares before, usually the only way to the bathroom. Lol

I've fallen a few times on stairs. There would be no hope for me on these.

Where I live, this would not only not pass code, but the building department would take your plans out on the lawn at City Hall and ceremoniously burn them.

I'd feel more comfortable if there were at least some kind of railing.

practice, and you'll master it, now if a burglar or somebody else trying to hurt you comes you can agility run up these stairs, with them left confused.

Was this meant to be a suicide door, or was there supposed to be a porch?

How is this so far up? It's neither architecture nor cursed, but just a bad photoshop.
