15 Examples of Unfathomable Design That Could Get Someone Fired

It's both embarrassing and funny.

Sometimes a great idea on paper can turn into a real nightmare in practice. Only a skilled and experienced designer can foresee all the pitfalls and important details. If this isn't done, your product, service, or advertisement can quickly become a subject of jokes and memes online. Here are 15 examples from Reddit users.

1. Carpet in a hotel. It looks creepy.

2. Just kiwi bird tracks on the floor in one of the hospitals. They are not indicators; they lead nowhere.

3. When you played with fonts and lost.

4. Contrasting handwashing.

5. A smoothie cup that is completely sealed, making it impossible to suck liquid through the straw. Someone is drilling an extra hole in the lid.

6. Food and Art festival. Not what you might think.

7. A curling iron, pen, and heating element that are very easy to confuse.

8. Having red-green lighting next to traffic lights is not the best idea.

9. A rounded arrow suggests that the hole beneath it could serve as a reset button. Usually, this is activated with a pin. But in reality, there is a hidden temperature and humidity sensor. This is one of the Xiaomi air purifiers, which can be easily disabled with that same pin.

10. Users online are puzzled about the meaning of this sign. Strong winds in winter?

11. Not the best design for outdoor chairs.

12. When the manufacturer asks the designer to add "Disney fonts" to the jacket.

13. This is probably something for the kitchen.

14. No one smeared anything. It's just the design.

15. And finally, an unusual mouse that requires you to rotate two wheels at once to scroll faster.
