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!

So this sent me into a Google rabbit hole. The spaces are beautiful. There is a 1 bedroom available for $200 per night. Want.

I studied this building at the unversity. It's called l'arbre blanc by sou fujimoto. Definitely not a bad building.

Never mind, not a fire escape. I just noticed the stairs only connect one balcony and one floor to the next. Reason?

That is real! So if I dropped a ball from the top, it would kind of like being a huge real life game of PLINKO! This is in Montpellier, and the building looks even more dramatic from below: https://www.google.com/search?q=L%27Arbre+blanc,+Montpellier&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS880US880&sxsrf=ALeKk01zEf56pULRNtgMrgH1j1_1oE1pKQ:1620996492183&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA0OTAmsnwAhVpAp0JHTCyBuoQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1280&bih=533

In case of fire, just jump from one balcony to the next and on down. . . Oh, look, some even have ramps down, how do they rate?

As long as you fall off the side of a balcony, it looks like you won't have that far to fall.

You know how annoying it is when people can see your legs under the stall panels? Well, consider yourself lucky : in there ones, they can see your butt, your balls, and the falling turd.

The Hustler Casino in California had recently opened, and I drove by it to and from work. One night, the big CASINO sign was malfunctioning, two letters kept flashing off and on. So the sign was announcing to the world "CASINO... ASIN ...CASINO... ASIN ...". I called them to let them know and they thought it was a prank until they went outside and looked at it. The next night, it was fixed.

It's from my hometown in France ! Actually the municipality decided to build a new bridge to accommodate the tram. But the inhabitants loved the old bridge so much that they decided to keep the stairs as a souvenir...

Carpeted bathrooms and toilets used to be the norm in the UK, ours was when we moved to this house 30 years ago. Glad that we have got over that phase.
