If you do this, you are likely to come across some amusing discoveries: a ramp that leads to nowhere, a public restroom designed for absolutely no privacy, or a poorly spelled plaque. You have to wonder how these flaws even came to be, if they're completely accidental or if someone is trolling all of us. Here is our latest batch of poorly designed structural flaws!
