Everyone makes a mistake now and again, but when designers do that, it's kind of a big deal. Their work lasts long after they've made their little typos, and suddenly a product is out in the world looking unfinished or weird . Below are 25 off-the-wall errors discovered this month, from unreadable clocks to signs that never should've been put up on the walls. We have quite a few stairwells that would send most of us flailing down a dozen steps. There are a few subtle fails in the mix too, like…

The business environment is competitive. Individuals often prioritize their own advancement over the well-being of those around them when climbing the corporate ladder. They are dedicated to achieving their objective and will do whatever it takes to get there. That being said, how would you react if you found out that someone on your crew attempted to sabotage you in order to protect themselves? The story that follows is that of an inexperienced design engineer who is picking up the rules of th…

Working in graphic design means paying close attention to numerous small elements that come together to form a polished result. The manager in the story below is in complete shock. As a BigCo, OP is in charge of a few dozen agents. For quite some time, OP had been in need of a skilled graphic designer; therefore, when an opportunity arose and a qualified candidate was found, OP quickly hired her. As a modest thank you for joining the company, OP provided the new graphic designer with access to…

Sometimes you take a look at a product in a store and immediately wonder what these people were thinking when they were designing this. You're thinking about how silly it looks, how useless it seems, and how many people signed off on this without using their evidently hollow brains. These flaws were compiled from the top posts in the r/BadDesigns subreddit from this past month. Some of these entries include store products, job advertisements, warning signs, and even architectural flaws. Regardl…

The cost of living is so high that many people feel like they are left with no choice but to snag a few side gigs for some extra cash, because once you pay rent, a big chunk of your paycheck vanishes from your bank account, leaving you grasping at straws for groceries and other basics. One person, u/Cryptographer552 found themselves in a tricky position after working on a project for a rather large company that ran major stadiums and event venues. From the very beginning, things just weren't ru…

This person's "dirt cheap" home came with a catch — an unceasing HOA.

Graphic designers have “off” days too. But sometimes these designs are so poorly done that I wonder if the designer was trying to do it badly on purpose.

Contract work is for people with thick skin — just ask this person, who had to fight to get paid for their work . There's a reason freelance work has a reputation for being more effort than it's worth. It's clients like the woman in this story who make the job pretty thankless. U/No_Concept_9848 told this workplace story to r/MaliciousCompliance. As they wrote, they took on a job creating a brand new website for a client and her husband. They ran a frozen yogurt business and were looking to hav…

Don't be caught stepping out in any of these outfits . Check out these outfits below that you'd only buy for your worst enemy to wear. The only kind-of good shirt is the coffee stain one… in case you're a messy sort of dude. I'd also rock the “ Never do your best, quit ” shirt! It's subtly genius of the designer to create that one. Next up, check out this tale of an entitled shopper .

Some skills are considered classy if you're rich but trashy when you're poor. But why is that? When you speak a second language in an upper class household, you're highly praised at every cocktail party every time you share a pretty embarrassing, accented sentence of broken French. But if you're from a lower income family and you're completely fluent in a second language (maybe English isn't even your first language) then it's considerably less impressive.

Some signs capture the truth in ways you could never have anticipated.

Some people have remarkably poor taste.

Who signed off on these?

Yikes.

Who dares carpet a bathroom.

Maybe give the taco another shot.
