15 Designs That Make People’s Lives Harder

When done properly, designs can incredibly improve our quality of life. On the other hand, when a poor job is done we’re left with a keyboard with letters we can’t even see or a mug that will poke you in the face with every sip you take. Unfortunately, these examples are just the beginning of a long list of questionable mistakes people came across.

Now I’ve Seen Everything showcases how important a good design is.

“The terrible design of my school — this is the place where every hallway intersects.”

“I’m in room 920. How do I find it?”

“I found the room. It was not between 919 and 921. It was next to 922 on another spur across the hall.”

• I like how 922 can’t be found with the sign either. © LMAbacus / Reddit

“I’ve tripped in the kitchen but never on my way to the kitchen.”

You can’t close this window until you go outside.

“I can’t figure out which way to go.”
