We've all heard of bad design, which ignores user-friendliness, common sense and logic aesthetics, and individuals in general. We're talking about billboards, TV commercials, product packaging and design, websites and apps, you name it, that are so bad that you despise the manufacturers and construction companies.

Websites with poor design can be difficult to navigate, making it difficult to find the information we require. They can also be unsightly, making us less likely to return.

At the same time, the app may provide a poor user experience, making people uncomfortable using it. Anyone can spot a bad design, from confusing navigation to cluttered layouts.

Products that are poorly designed can be difficult to use, wasting money, time, and energy. They can also be hazardous, as poor products or packaging can result in accidents.

Sometimes the design is so irritating, senseless, and defunct that it appears as if the producers are doing it on purpose, or at least without shame. There's even a subreddit group dedicated to instances "when a*** designs things."

With 2.9 million members, the group mocks the idea that "nothing comes before profit, particularly not the consumer." Below, we wrapped up some of the evilest, dumbest, and crappiest of designs for you to have a look at what we are complaining about.
