27 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (July 13, 2025)
Sometimes designs fail us. They take a turn that we don’t expect, and then we’re left baffled. It’s one of the things that life asks of us. We often have to take absurdity in stride as humans. When you really think about it, nothing makes that much sense. The fact that we drink cow milk …

Woman covers airplane seat with ‘seat bag,’ completely blocks neighbor’s tray table: ‘I’d have that bag torn a minute after takeoff’

Design is all around us. It’s literally everywhere we look. Everything man-made was designed by somebody somewhere at some point in time. It sounds facile to say this, but it’s easy to forget. You take the shape of a pencil for granted. A pencil has been a pencil for as long as you’ve been alive …
