“Cow tag earring.”
“Literally being held by a thread.”
“I thought she was wearing a black dress and hands on her hips.”
Mud flaps that blind you while driving
A door that should never be opened
If the train stops suddenly, passengers will collapse together with those seats.
A bike path with obstacles
A fire exit you’ll never reach
A ramp turning into a staircase
A watering system
A dome on this lamp is like a magnifying glass that burns grass when the sun shines through it.
A race track at a school stadium

“This street.”
“Unless it’s for the kidneys to breathe.”
“I see your side-of-car ad and raise you my side-of bus ad.”
“Life’s too short for boring pants.”
Mistakes happen to anyone, regardless of their profession. But designers’ mistakes stand out immediately and evoke a lot of emotions.
