I've got to admit, I love a good disaster—as long as it's not happening to me. And when it comes to design, some of these fails are simply magnificent. I mean, who in their right mind would design a staircase that leads to… nowhere? Or make a playground with a giant high-voltage power sign on it? Apparently, quite a few people.

But here's the thing: as much as I laugh at these trainwrecks, I also feel a tiny bit of sympathy for the folks who have to live with them.

So, whether you're in it for the cringe or just want to feel better about your own mistakes, here are 31 examples of design gone hilariously, terribly wrong.
