The person who installed this doorknob clearly took the saying “Our door is always open” far too literally. Either that or they were intoxicated. If only we could have been there with our cameras to capture the moment of realization when the person responsible for this masterpiece first tried to put it into action.
These kinds of design failures always get to us. When the person responsible for this was in the process of putting all of the parts together, didn’t he see that something was wrong? If not, then he might need to reconsider all of his life choices.
Made For The Blind, By The Blind
Even if you zoomed out your vision, and didn’t really focus on any particular angle, you would really be able to detect something wrong here. How the pedestrian lines cross the roads toward the edge of the curb instead of its road pavement. How the lines are misaligned, geometrically, and very bothersome to look at.
The guys hired to do this must not really care at all about their jobs, or, they must be blind. And their supervisor seems okay with this. How could they not have seen this? Impossible!
Jump For Your Life
Before signing a contract for a prospective apartment, there are many factors to consider… not the least of which is the emergency exit. In case of a fire, you need to have a safe and viable escape route. This particular apartment building decided to offer the occupants on the upper levels a different kind of exit: one that, in case of emergency, simply offers a different way to die.
Unless you have the presence of mind and ninja skills necessary to notice the missing stairs while you are running for your life and avoid plummeting into the gap, we suggest getting this fixed!
It's OK, We Get the Message
You can either accuse the guy who painted this on the street of not knowing how to spell properly, or be a bit kinder and simply suspect him of being dyslexic; something that clearly isn’t his own fault. Even a fifth grader can spell the word “stop,” and this isn’t a special code or something that needs to be deciphered.
It’s just funny how an adult could be hired to do a simple job and then mess it up so badly. On the lighter side of things, it could be a source of humor for travelers passing by, to keep them from drowsiness. There’s nothing like a good laugh to boost your alertness.

No pain, no brain. That is all we have to say about this next design failure. It seems to win them all. We are doing our best to see if this is an optical illusion. However, the more we try, the more we acknowledge the fact that some human is responsible for this. All that is missing is a small ramp to make this perfect.
This is for all those times when all you wanted was a bit of peace and quiet sprinkled with a touch of flooding. The next question is, how do we solve this? Do we break this apart and create a new and proper one? Or do we just level out the floor by placing a few bricks?
