23 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (September 21, 2025)

Good design is often hard to spot. You can tell something is well designed because you can't think of it being designed any other way. A bicycle wheel is a bicycle wheel. A yellow Ticonderoga pencil is a yellow Ticonderoga pencil. The Mona Lisa is the Mona Lisa. You can't think of those great works of art being created in any other way. But the truth is a lot went into testing those designs. They weren't inevitable as they seem to be. Someone or a company of someones had to make a lot of decisions that led to that design. 

So you can imagine where things are bound to go wrong. When you're making a lot of decisions, it's only logical that one of them might be a mistake. Hopefully, you've either built in enough failsafes that no one notices your mistake, or you catch it before your work is released to the public, but that is wishful thinking. We have these images as proof of failure. Some of these decisions went wildly wrong. But they went wrong in a way that is ultimately pleasing to us.
