You can't exactly blame people for trying new things, but you can if it's obviously a design fail. Every day people push the boundaries with wildly tacky shirts, deliberate stains, poor building planning, and misguided but persistent creativity. At least it seems like for most of these someone was trying something new. On the other side there are straight up stupid design fails that someone thought were fine.

When the people of Facebook get together and decide something looks silly, there's nothing stopping the torrent of roasts and funny observations from washing over whatever it is. In this case, the thing is an ad for a shirt that barely fits on the absurdly muscular, probably photoshopped model. We live in a golden age of funny and rare insults, and the internet is full of ingenious insults full of meanness.
We're not exactly in the shirt business, but some of these clothing decisions seem like they could have been prevented. For similar stuff, here are some classic translation fails that made their way onto shirts and other things. And here are some more design failures that need some help.
So the reason you think you look like a pile of dog crap in the same shirt as Hugh Jackman is cause all celebrity clothes are tailored specifically to fit them. Bunch of bastards. I guess the answer is to either get your clothes tailored like actors and models or to stop trying to look like you belong in a magazine. Or just give up on the whole thing, fashion is stupid anyway.
Stuff lie this makes us think we'd be pretty good at designing signs and clothes. Maybe it's harder to do well without ending up with stupid design failure? The fact remains, the world is completely filled up with really not good signs and designs, and it seems like a whole lotta people out there aren't doing their job.
It sucks to be unprepared for a job interview, but what sucks more is when you walk in and realize immediately that you've worn the wrong thing and they realize you're unprepared from the get-go. In some cases, this didn't stop people form getting the job. In other cases, employers could tell right away that it wasn't gonna work out.. In the same vein, here are interview responses that made employers immediately say "nope."
Man, remember when bacon was a huge thing? There were bacon boardgames, bacon wallets, and bacon flavored soda. It seemed fine at the time, but looking back really makes you question your judgement. We can at least sleep soundly knowing that most of us were dumb teenagers when we fell for these kinds of trends, but it's a trip thinking about crap you were really excited about one day that then dropped off the face of the earth a week later. If this reminded you too much of your past, here are some 90s life hacks for you to live your best 90s life.
It's called fashion sweaty, look it up. We wouldn't call ourselves fashionistas. In fact the only "istas" we've ever been is baristas, but we know red hot fashion when we see it. And oh, boy these folks are cutting edge. From wearing double-sided shoes to wearing literally a whole grown woman in a sling like an upside down endangered baby, the most fashionable among us are here to say "I know exactly what I'm doing, trust me this will catch on." For some more questionable fashion choices, here are some times we had to ask ourselves "who wore it better?"
Landlords always seem to promise things like working dishwashers and hot water, but sometimes fall short of their ability to provide an adequate living situation in exchange for your cash. Rent is expensive too, so paying a whole lot to live in a place with a terrible landlord who doesn't fix anything is an absolute nightmare. When this woman's boyfriend was being taken advantage of, she stepped in and made it too expensive for the landlord to NOT get the washing machine fixed.
In our world of buyer beware, all you have is your wits keeping you from falling prey to manipulative and terrible products and ads. It's even harder when you're shopping online, since not seeing a physical version of the product will pit your expectations vs reality. These people definitely felt the pain of misleading advertising and the results are pretty damn funny.
That's some good stuff. When Deborah Price asked twitter for help finding a dress, people responded. Sometimes it's good to have a wholesome reminder of people's goodness. Kinda weird to see something like Twitter used for such a specific and kind purpose. Just cool that people get real joy out of helping each other.
Ads and packaging make stuff look like it's gonna be fantastic. I mean, sure it's the job of a commercial to make a burger look like the be-all-end-all of burgerdom. But when what you get is so different from what was advertised, you can't help but feel like you've been had. Here are some times when reality got the best of people's expectations.
Just look at them snap. Look at that painful, stilted movement. There's something strange going on behind those '80s eyes. It's almost as if they're thinking "look at us, we will never not be cool." Oh man were they wrong.
People are great at making things. They're even better at making things wrong, unusable, and with such glaring errors that they just make you laugh to look at. Here are some of the dumb, dark, and stupid things people made. Check this out for more idiotic design failures.
If you find some nice boots on amazon for 3 dollars, you should half expect to get a picture of boots mailed to your house.

For some more amazon shenanigans, here are some fantastically funny and creative reviews.
One person's trash is another person's more interesting trash. People everywhere are sifting through piles of clothes and ceramic statuettes just to find freaky gems like these.
