Fails are what makes us human. Though we might call them out, laugh at them, and even dedicate a whole website to categorizing and gawking at them, we love fails because they remind us that we’re real. Computers don’t make mistakes, but humans certainly do. It’s why pencils have erasers. That’s why there’s such a thing as a «mulligan.» It’s why when we see Scarlet take that tumble, we laugh. Sure, we …

26 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (May 19, 2024)
We all make a typo now and then. We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t! I remember learning how to type in computer class in 4th grade. We would put orange silicon covers over the keyboards so we couldn’t see the letters and then take timed tests. Do kids still have to do that or …

There’s the sign for the tattoo parlor across the street, the cars parked on the street, the hoodie that guy is wearing, heck, …

Sometimes words fail. We try with all our might to get our point across but we just can’t come up with the right language to put to our feelings. This happens to me when I’m angry or sad. The emotion gets too overwhelming and I end up tripping over my words like some kind of …

Billboards. They’re some of the biggest signs we have. And with them is an opportunity to really make a statement. Often, they are simply used to promote firework warehouses, gentlemen’s clubs and to let you know that there is a Buc-ee’s coming up in a couple of exits. They often become fodder for road trips, …

‘I dropped a full pizza onto a man’s lap’: 20+ funniest stories from servers about cringy mistakes they made on the job
Every server out there has thousands of stories from the job, some funny, some infuriating, and some so cringy that they keep them up at night. I’m talking about times when a server embarrassed themselves so much in front of customers, that no one is ever going to forget it. But even if a story …

‘She must have very rich parents’: Little girl performs horrendous rendition of The National Anthem, gets compared to Fergie
We’re living in a post-America’s Funniest Home Videos world. We no longer have a clip show airing on cable designed to show us as many fails as possible in close succession. We’re also living in a post-American Idol audition fails world. I have not watched American Idol recently, but I’m pretty certain they’re not using …

I’m no designer, but I do have common sense. Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to make something look good that we lose sight of its actual functionality. As the saying goes, we were so busy wondering if we can that we didn’t stop and ask if we should. But I’m all for a wonky design choice. …
