Craftsmanship and taste are two different things, and sometimes one gets the better of the other. Sure, you can make high quality shoes out of teeth, but you should also be asking yourself if anyone wants to look at them. It's very possible to make a thing that's impressive but also of highly questionable taste.

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.

A virtual tour of this house reveals some weird and amazing stuff. And for $159,000 could this even be real? It looks like they have a main area that's some kind of Gothic, space inspired medieval man cave, with extra rooms becoming a space theme, island theme, and what is that, a lab facility? It's nothing at all like this listing for the gaudiest house you've ever seen.

Like buying a car or anything else you're expecting to be stuck with for a while, tattoos are one of those things that it helps to think a little harder about, and go to the right artist. Oh, and double check any tattoos you get in languages you don't understand, because they end up as tattoo translation fails. On the other side, here are some cool tattoos that turned scars into art.

Casting can get too brutal when they're looking for a particular type. You've gotta be confident in yourself to have a role people would describe as "tired lady giving birth" or "slack-jawed psychopath 2." For the majority of us who aren't ridiculously photogenic, this would be our reality in Hollywood too.

Something went very wrong for these people at some point in their lives. We're not sure how you end up walking around with one of these hairstyles. They're criminally ridiculous. 

It'll grow back eventually...

Companies and institutions around us like to impose inconvenient rules for dumb reasons. Companies will make you wear uncomfortable hats. Colleges will make you comply with unfair printing fees. It's a minor, but meaningful success when you can get revenge within the rules and beat them at their own game.

Who sells these? Like, we would be completely surprised if any of these worked at all. At the same time, we mostly feel bad for all the models who got roped into this venture. You can see the bewilderment and disappointment in their eyes. But hey, there are worse gigs out there. For more terrible products that are otherwise useless or misleading, here are 25 awful products designed by monsters

Behold, what was once an obstructive pipe is now a saxophone! Here's public graffiti that either made a statement or just cleverly tried to make the best out of a less-than-pretty concrete landscape. For more art finding its way into everyday life, here are some brilliantly vandalized school textbooks.

We can all just be lucky that people aren't like this all the time. Here are some human beings acting at their most selfish, stupid and ridiculous. So sit back in the dumpster and let the garbage sink into your soul. Check this out for more trashy wtf behavior.

These folks asked the internet to roast them and the internet delivered like they paid extra for shipping. It doesn't even matter if someone looks particularly good or not, r/roastme will find a way to dig through someone's flaws until they hit bedrock.

Imgur user Solarstephy got a hot tip on this Ranch style house in Buda, Texas. It looks pretty unassuming from the outside, but step inside and your eyes start to water. Who of all people would be comfortable living here? A baroque cowboy? Some kind of grandma Dracula? Delores Umbridge? If you're intrigued by people trying to sell terrible houses, check out these terrible real estate photos.

As nice as it would be to fix our agriculture system by having a box of blob-shaped apples sent to your house every month, apparently things aren't as easy as that. Dr. Dara Taber elaborates on the concept of food waste in America.

These compliments inspire more questions than answers. We're not even sure if half of them were even intended to make the recipient feel good. Either way, we hope you smell as fast as you think you do.
