26 Baffling Design Choices Found in the Wild (November 23, 2025)

Sometimes things just fail. We don't know why. Sometimes we put so much into something, and he just can't get anything in return. You know this if you've ever tried to assemble IKEA furniture. No matter how detailed the instructions or how simple it seems, you will probably reach a point where it feels like you've done everything wrong. Whether you're assembling a chair, a desk, or a full-blown boudoir, you are bound to encounter the idea of failure. You will put one wrong screw in one wrong place, and everything will come crashing down. Then comes the troubleshooting phase. You look all over your creation, trying to figure out what exactly went wrong. 

You retrace your steps, analyzing every decision you made along the way. But sometimes there is no answer. Sometimes the random chaos of the universe just crashes down upon us, and we have no choice but to stand among the wreckage. That's exactly what we're here to do today. We're here to stand among failure and resist the urge to ask why. Because answers are not likely to be found in this place.
