30 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (May 12, 2024)

Fails are a part of life. It’s what separates us from the computers, for now. We make mistakes, we goof up, we screw the pooch. It’s why they call it human error.

Does anyone else have someone in their life who points out every little continuity error when you’re watching a movie or a TV show? For me, it’s my mom.

There are so many things that I’d design differently if I was in charge. A lot of them are food packaging-related. Flour is so poorly packaged. Once you open it, it gets everywhere and it’s impossible to close without making a mess. Just make the top of the bag resealable! Honey is also a disaster …

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 …

If a design fails in the middle of a small town and no one is around to post it on Reddit, does it really fail? When doing research for this meme list, that always crosses my mind. There are probably so many spectacular design fails out there, but it takes a keen eye and the …

I used to fantasize about decorating my own space when I was a kid, and then I grew up and realized that it’s really freaking expensive to do that. Sure you can use Pinterest hacks where you can, but at the end of the day, furniture is expensive and your landlord probably won’t let you …

Have you ever pushed a door that says «pull» and then felt like the dumbest guy in all the land? Me too, buddy. Sorry I can’t always intuit what it’s going to be, and I don’t always have the wherewithal to look and see if there’s a sign. It’s one of those stupid human moments …
