21 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (August 17, 2025)

It's a weird, weird world out there. Anything can happen. Things can go wrong in any number of ways. Maybe you had an idea of how your life would go, and you're finding that it's not so simple. Adulthood teaches you that all manner of stuff can happen without you expecting it to. Maybe when you were a kid, you were convinced you'd be a professional basketball player. And then you grew up, but not so much that you ever made it past 5'5". You learned a tough lesson that if you're going to be in the NBA, you probably need a few more vertical inches.

So instead, you went into physical therapy, and now you're a sports therapist. Okay, not so bad. But all to say, you have to be prepared for all the twists and turns your life may take. One thing leads to another, and fate has decided something for you that you could have never expected.

These images are great examples of that. They take twists and turns you could have probably never imagined. Could you see them as mistakes? Sure. Many would. But maybe we can instead see them, like Bob Ross taught us, as happy accidents. Scroll on for some of those.
