This Walmart has cart wheels that lock when you cross a sensor, to keep people from stealing them. They put the sensor inside the parking lot so most carts lock up.

The tiles at the hotel I’m staying at. The only way I know it’s not mold is because the pattern repeats in other parts of the bathroom

This lamp from Amazon has the "increase brightness" button on bottom and "decrease brightness" on top. I can never get used to it.

Common Strip Mall Issue. If you are going to provide protection from the elements, why not actually provide continuous coverage so that patrons can move between businesses without getting wet?

Parking bays, nightmare to see as a colorblind person and near impossible to park within the lines at night. Should have been solid white lines.

CONTENT POLICY

This subreddit is moderated for quality, which means we remove content that we deem to be low quality, low effort, nonsensical, or common/unoriginal. We do not "let the votes decide". We understand that this type of policy is controversial and uncommon, especially for default subreddits, but we believe this method of moderation gives a subreddit the best chance at maintaining quality.

THE RULES

Rules are enforced upon moderator discretion.

1: IT MUST BE CRAPPY DESIGN

NOTE: All posts must be in English

Every submission must be a bad design, otherwise it may be removed. Any design mentioned in this list of things that are not crappy design is not allowed. Other low-quality posts may be removed at moderator discretion.

2: NO COMMON REPOSTS

New content is encouraged. Reposts of content in the common reposts list, in the top 150 posts of all time or under three months old are not allowed. Because of spam, no clothing of any kind.Especially t-shirts. Other reposts may be removed at moderator discretion.

3: NO SOFTWARE DESIGNS

Any kind of software design, intentional or not, is not allowed. This includes (but is not limited to): websites, emails, search results, videogames, etc. r/SoftwareGore or r/TechNope might be better places for these posts.

4: NO HATE SYMBOLS

This includes (but is not limited to): things that look like swastikas, "KKK" acronyms, Nazi salutes, racism, political hate, etc.

r/AccidentalSwastika, r/Oopzi, and r/AccidentalRacism might be better places for these posts.

r/MildlyPenis, r/MildlyVagina, r/MildlyBoobs, and r/MildlyButthole might be better places for these posts.

6: TITLES SHOULD DESCRIBE AND REPRESENT THE CONTENT

If the crappy design is not obvious in the photo, please describe it in the title. Low effort titles, sarcasm, StRaNgE CaPiTaLiZaTiOnS, and excessive emojis may be removed at moderator discretion.

7: NO MEMES OR IMAGE MACROS

The crappy design should be obvious from the photo or the title. Memes or image macros are not necessary to describe it.
