30 Unexpected design flaws that totally defeat the purpose: 'Dishwasher detergent that looks like juice'

Sometimes, form very much does not fit function. In life, we do not always have agency over the spaces we visit and the appliances we use. For instance, have you ever had to use a public bathroom in which the walls are so tight you have to contort your body in order to use the facilities? Have you ever been in a locker room where the showers are not quite as private as they should have been designed to be? What about those times you visit a friend's apartment and you see an appliance that was assembled in the most DIY way you can't imagine it works properly?

Life is full of design flaws everywhere you look… that is, if you're looking closely enough. Keep scrolling below for this collection of unexpected yet unforgettable design flaws. This list ranges from an unfortunately misspelled sign in a. retail store to totally illegible hotel products to staircases leading to nowhere (no, that's not a metaphor).
