If a design fails in the middle of a small town and no one is around to post it on Reddit, does it really fail? When doing research for this meme list, that always crosses my mind. There are probably so many spectacular design fails out there, but it takes a keen eye and the willingness to get out your smartphone. It also makes me wonder how many design fails existed before there were iPhones, or heck even cameras! People barely knew know to spell back in the days of the founding fathers, let alone make a pleasing design that makes sense to the eye.

But this is just what goes through the mind of a design fail meme list maker. It's my burden to bear, and I am happy to do it. This week's batch is brought to you by the brave souls who scavenge the earth for these perfectly hilarious moments.
