I doubt this is the case, but imagine if it was not a place meant for wheelchair bound ppl to access (like how many homes have patios with stairs before the front door, simply because making it accessible has never been a need), but the area is really rainy and the door was installed as a measure to allow ppl to seek shelter in their entrance from sudden onsets of downpours? I think I'll choose to believe that for my own sanity and mood's sake.
@@feha92 nice idea but I think the truth is the more insane one, aka there is probably some rule that entries have to be handicap accessible but the rules said nothing about stairs.
@@feha92 Nice idea, if, as you said, maybe not the most likely one. Though I think there is a decent chance that there are actually elevators on the side, out of view. There, now we have two straws for our mood and sanity to grasp for :)

The only reason I could is because I’m American and if I didn’t know the phrase my history teachers would probably be concerned. It was still difficult and took about a minute to read it properly.
@@Haileydybdahl the only part I know is "we hold this truth to be self evident that all men are created equal" We learned about the Boston tea party, about slavery and had discussions about the American dream. If I remember it correctly we saw a photo of the declaration, should or could read it and then we got to the next topic. We got taught about American history mostly in English class, the regular history lessons had been about our country, colonisation (mostly Africa), the french revolution and the industrial revolution. If I remember it correctly we also learnt a little about crusades, a small amount about ancient Egypt and the Roman empire (but I think I got most knowledge about the last one from the Latin class)
As a professional graphic designer, I can almost guarantee that the pregnancy test photo is the result of somebody higher up saying “can you make her look more pregnant? We want people to be sure she’s pregnant”, the designer taking it to ridiculous extremes expecting to be told to tone it down again, and the reviewer saying “YES!” XD happens far more often than you think. People with too much power who don’t know design having too much of a say in the actual design process.
The amount of times i've been asked to make something "more" and then in frustration I go extreme - only to get a green light? It baffles me, and hurts at the same time. I just had to confirm with my own experiences as well, have a good day :)
It's actually bizarre how many higher up positions are taken by people who know next to nothing about the thing they're supposed to govern over as the head of said company thing. We really need to make it a requirement that people have the same experience in the field + whatever current higher ups have for such important places in the workspace.
@@sundalosketch4769 true, but often times, especially in the in-house corporate design I do, the higher ups are less concerned with the artistic/design aspects of the work but more about an over-all strategic vision. Would be nice, though, if they listened to the designers more often. XD
Worked at an ad agency in Manhattan... and they had to explain, MULTIPLE times, why blue is used as the color for demonstrating sanitary pads. "Um... red is to graphic, yellow implies urine, green implies infection. None of those are good for your product image." Client rep refused to understand. Showed the ad with green to the "higher-ups". That rep was fired, but we had the traditional blue version already edited for launch.
ORRRR it's actually the whole joke. I guess they hoped the absurd transposition of the pregnant up to her teeth woman, the hammy expressions, and the deadpan statement would be enough to make the humour obvious, but apparently not :D
I think part of the issue with sink design is that by their very nature, sinks are a practical item, and designers forget that. They prioritize looks over the very core of what a sink is.
This is a major issue with architecture, actually. Architects will design ludicrous buildings that look really nice but will shear themselves in half or other such things, and then toss it to a civil engineer who has to try and make it stand. An extremely famous architect, world renowned, is most notable to the layperson for building several skyscrapers that turned the sun into a laser and melted cars.
For real though, like those sings with raw amythyst crystals in the sink. Like not only is that gona be literally impossible to clean, I'm also pretty sure theres a risk it will break faster or have a tendency to leak and possibly even erode or "dissolve" depending on what chemicals it's subjected to. Absolutely awful. ... I'm kinda curious though if the sink where the tap was just by the edge is the kind where you're supposed to fill the sink and then dip your hands into the bowl of water. I've heard that's how the old one-tap-for-hot-water-and-one-tap-for-cold system was supposed to be used. This could be a dumb modern take on that
The phrase is so deeply entrenched into my psyche as an American that I recognized 9:15 is supposed to read ‘Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness’, but that is ONLY because I live in Yeehaw Land and I do not at all blame literally anyone for not being able to read that hot mess of a design
same lol i live in California but my Elementart School was weirdly patriotic in a way that literally no other part of my life was or is. we said the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of every day for like 6 years and had plays put on by every grade each year, including kindergarten, and most of the time it would be some historical play about America or the founding fathers or something like that. one of the songs in one of the plays was literally about this phrase and i can still kinda sing certain parts of it. the plays were actually pretty fun even though im an introvert and was probably the most shy person at the school.
And then when you put all of your hard work into making something clever, then there is the possibility of a group of people in upper management override you and force you to make something terrible. I wish you luck in your future endeavors.

For the "herpes" mug, perhaps it isn't meant to be "heroes", but "herbes", a French word that could be translated into "plants", explaining the flowers
@@florianricquart4114I figured that was the case but chamomile and other flowers can be deemed as herbs depending on how they are used. I'm having an existential crisis just thinking about how arbitrary languages are. So words are made up noises usually derived from other made up noises that are likely from a dead language and they have a very specific meaning but the meaning can be relative or subjective and it can also evolve to mean something completely different depending on how we choose to use it... Forget herbs, heroes, and herpes; I want to know how we are even able to communicate through words?

That staircase is called a witches ladder. According to legend, witches can't climb it. From a more realistic standpoint, these kinds of stsirs are usually used as an alternative to a ladder in small spaces, where a normal staircase wouldn't fit
As former EMS those stairs would be my absolute worst nightmare. Can you IMAGINE getting a stretcher down that shit? We're gonna have 2 patients in a minute here when I break my damn ankle.

Click’s videos are the only place where you can hear something like “Get your plushies and you can care for them deeply and descend into the eternal hellfire together, aNyWaY…” and it’s completely normal and expected.
Those hand dryers in the sink really grind my gears. Not only does it splash everywhere, but it ties up a sink for drying. The toilet on the stairs in likely in a basement. They do that (not to code) to hook into a drain pipe that's above the slab. My cottage had one when I moved in.
Mark starts off with a plug for the merch, then taps into his store of sink-related puns. They come so naturally that he doesn't have to faucet at all.

Where I come from that's normal. Lattes are always served in big glasses with no handles. Also the Turkish tea cups have no handles. In my friends house I never drink the tea while hot 🙈 I'm weak.
It's not particularly unusual around the world to not have ears on tea cups (or small coffee cups for that matter), but you're not supposed to fill those cups to the top so you can still grab it by the rim without your fingers literally melting. A lot of the time the real issue is that the mug designer tries to combine the North American size of mugs with the lack of an ear of cups and that just doesn't work in practice.
If they are serving their drinks for immediate consumption this isn't a problem. If your getting second degree burns on your hands from holding the mug your going to get 3rd degree ones from trying to drink the beverage.
How are there so many terribly designed faucets to justify this subreddit!? XD like, of all the things that are difficult to design, you would think faucets are fairly straightforward… they seem like the least complicated part of making a functional sink!

That "Life Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness" "sign" is actually insane. If I wasn't familiar with the phrase, there is no way I would have figured it out. I pieced the first part of Liberty together, and it just clicked. I didn't read it, I had to solve the puzzle. They saw three (shitty) ways of dividing up the letters and just went with all of them.
The funny thing is I can see that being a clever design, if it was something about uncovering the truth in a place of education or an investigative agency or something.
Same. I only got it because I know the phrase. I got Lib, then Life, then And. That's when it clicked for me. I was too busy thinking how cool it was that my brain could make any sense out of that mess to realize non-Americans have probably never heard the phrase before.

Those steep uneven stairs are called Witches' Stairs. It was thought that witches couldn't climb them so you would be protected while you slept. Similar concept to the Witch Windows that witches supposedly couldn't fly through. Both are found in some old homes in the New England area near where the Salem Witch Trials took hold. 17:54
As a former graphic designer, I think it the "idiot factor" should be known. You say "This goes by so many eyeballs before it's approved, how come no one caught this?" Trust me, a lot of eyes probably did, the head designer probably did and probably brought it up to the boss / client, but the boss / client was very insistent, thinking that they were a genius and their idea was soooo cute or soooo cool and "don't argue with me, this is what I want" and the job, ultimately of the designer was to be the design-monkey that made their vision happen and just no amount of arguing could sway them. "No, I can't blow this tiny real estate picture up any more while making it look clear. I've made it as sharp as it's going to get" - (Tries desperately to explain pixels per inch and the nature of JPEG artefacts to someone who just doesn't get it and doesn't want to learn and why this other picture would work better, but noooo.) I guarantee you that's why there are Not-See symbol headphones and Santa's Milk. Someone who was paying the bills thought it was cute, the designer argued with them to no end until they just said "screw it, the customer's always right, even when they're wrong, I just want to get paid."
Did you know that the saying is actually "the customer is always right in matters of taste" and was coined by Harry Selfridge? Which only helps here if you question which is more important, thetaste of the boss or the taste of the target audience... but as a graphic designer who are you to say anything about the target audience... oddly enough they equally do not listen to marketing managers like me who collect the data about the target audience. So here is another interpretation of one of my professors which is equally unhelpful here: "the customer is always right, a potential customer is potentially right, and once the person in your store decided to not buy anything they aren't customers and therefore obviously wrong"
@@seigeengineYeah most people are otherwise not reading it that way because it IS in fact the normal way to say that in english. Unless of course they're mind is just already in the gutter, in which case bonus points to the designer for the double entendre. "Milk for Santa" just sounds stiff and weird to me anyways. I support "Santa's Milk" even if I will now giggle each time I read it like a 12 year old putting "in bed" at the end of every fortune cookie🥠
@@xkindredxsoulsxxx4195 I mean, it's the combination of the two. Santa's milk is straight forward, but when you're putting it beside "milk for santa" that means they can't both mean the same thing, meaning you're forced to look for another meaning.

When I was helping out the digital art design lab at a city college, there's a common warning that went around. When designing logos or naming things, get a second and third outside opinion. With logos, look at upside down to make sure it's okay. The cited example was this Italian company that wanted to make apparel for young people. You know, the younger generation. They were going to name it GenItalia...
@@standardhuman8675 Not a joke. I've heard other similar stories from other artists and designers whenever I tell that story. That story was told to me by the HEAD of the digital art design department. This was told in the same vein as "When designing a webpage, make sure it's screen/tty readable for blind or vision impaired people." and "Always remember to support minimum resolution for under developed countries or people that may not have access to good enough computers." Both of which, she got from the W3 consortium when she attended one of their meetings. So, yes. 100% not a joke.
The wallpapered light switch was actually a thing people commonly did back in the day, it was a way of being creative or just wanting to hide it by blending it in with the rest of the wallpaper. But sometimes, sometimes it was just difficult to find, much like that photo.
I was gonna say! You used to be able to get clear plastic switch plates so you could take your old one off, wallpaper your wall, and then put the clear plastic one on to cover the area around the switch properly without covering your wallpaper. Mind you, the locations of switches used to be more standardized, I think: at a particular height, just inside and to the right when you went into a room. So you didn't (usually) need to stop and actually look for them that much. Having said that, though, I have lived in some places with switches in just the dumbest possible spots. Including OUTSIDE the room, behind the door you have to open to go into the room (so it's hidden behind the door right when you need it), and on the other side of the previous room!

I once randomly came across the worst design in a restroom. The door on the bathroom stall was cut too small and only effectively covered a persons face. The entire toilet and any persons bottom half was fully out for anyone to see. Safe to say, I did not use that restroom.
Those are intentional, as it allows staff and ppl to see in, and notice if sus activities are being done. I agree that the door is just fake privacy at that point though, but on the other hand, I think I would still appreciate those doors during a zombie apocalypse.

Worst design I ever heard of was an elevator call system that was touch screen only - but they included graphics of the braille on the selection buttons 🙃 (and yes I'm in the US and this is *absolutely* not ADA-compliant)
I'm in the US. My university has a sign by the elevator with braille on it. The only problem is it was printed on letter paper so the braille is visual 😂 Our system is also a horrible touch screen abomination.

But who cares, disabled people really don't belong there anyway, right?/s
17:59 Those are actually called witches’ stairs, they were made a reeeaaallly long time ago because it was believed that witches couldn’t climb up and down them. probably because an old lady would sure have a lot of trouble. either way, it’s a pretty cool sign that your house, or apartment in this case, is pretty old and largely un-rennovated.
It’s supposed to say ‘herbes’ - French for herbs. It’s a little herb garden as per the graphic, with a handle on the side so you can pick it up to put it under the tap or in the sun. 🙂 Edit: I read it as herpes, so still bad design 😂
23:58 I am reasonably certain the sign is supposed to say "Animal And Us", with the toucan being the "I", the dog is supposed to be "M", the cat is "L", and the fish could be "D".
That's my best guess too. The sad thing is that this design could've worked if they had only made the animals more cartoony and letter-shaped, like in those alphabet books for young children... Now it just looks like random clutter around some letters ☠️
Yeah, the problem is that some of the animals are meant to be letters, but others are simply decoration, and is not always clear which is which. For example the bird after the first "A" is there only for decoration despite being in a space that could perfectly hold a letter, but then you have to guess that the fish after the "AN" is meant to be a "D" and not only a fish. So it may seem to read "Animal Anus", which could be the name of a veterinarian proctology clinic. 😂
Bad designs will always be the funniest things to me, since usually a whole bunch of people had the chance to intervene and no one did. I know , usually people probably were too lazy or buzy to actually look over it, but I like to imagine that for a significant portion people did see it and no one thought "that's not right..." or "maybe we shouldn't". 😂😂😂
Usually it's the boses with their BS ideas. No matter how they are warned, their "idea" is a "good one" But yeah, I'm sure lazy people can be involved as well.
I almost feel like in some cases lower rank people were almost afraid to say it looks like one controversial thing and not what was intended, because of the potential "why tf would you associate it with that" reaction, especially if you're the first (and thus at that point only) one to address it. Like, you know, "No one else sees swastika in it, Jimmy. Are you a nazi or something?". Seeing how I have zero experience in design, that's a total guess, though. What isn't a guess is that if that's the case, you've probably cultivated a workplace where your employees are afraid to speak up when something is wrong, and that's really not a good thing.
I've heard about people using the plastic bag that looks like mold to stop their coworkers from stealing their lunch. Although I suppose it could backfire if someone happens to be cleaning the fridge that day.
What's so funny to me is that I've never seen black mould on bread. Where I live, in the condition I store bread, we get white mould. So I didn't know anything was wrong.
13:22 they make plastic bags with green patches specifically to make people not want to steal them. Works great for coworkers who like to steal other people's lunch.
... until a coworker sees this and throws it into the garbage because it's "obviously not consumable any more" - apparently someone forgot it a week ago or so ... So sometimes the food will maybe disappear just because of this disgusting-looking bag.

Clicky-wikky pointing out the Cosby Surprise having the transparent plastic was the bad design, and not the fact that it was named a friggin’ “Cosby Surprise” felt strangely innocent.

17:58 those alternating tread stairs and are indeed a space saving design that allow you to fit stairs in a space too small for traditional stairs without having to have ladders. They're a little weird initially, but only because you're not used to them. Before long they feel just like any other staircase. They're also common on ships and in tiny houses. So they are designed for a practical reason.
I'll take your word for it, but there better be rails and adequate lighting around those things, because there's no way in Hell I'd want to climb that in the dark! Or worse, try going down them in the dark... I'd break my neck so fast. 😨😨

I'm trans, so I get to discover some.. interesting men's bathroom designs now. Apparently a lot of older public men's rooms have really high stall doors in the US, at least according to my dad after I used a bathroom at a flea market with the door being inches below crotch height
Door costs less that way. Less materials. And stall door designers are also pervs. That's why there is a 3cm gap when we've been making doors with opaque seams for a long ass time.

The uneven stairs are called Witch Stairs and were supposed to prevent witches from being able to climb them. You mostly find them in the northeastern states of the US. They're "historical" so they don't have to abide by the usual grade limit for stairs, as they get grandfathered in to building codes.
I've seen and heard this a few times, and every time I do I think about some poor contractor who had to put stairs in where a chimney once was, and when the employers saw the work and started yelling he just said "It's because witches can't climb them!!" and the employers just accepted it as the truth without thinking...

23:34 this always reminds me of a story with my history teacher. He asked the class what kind of belief for heaven we prefered (it was relevant to the class) the regular way 'do good go heaven, do bad go hell' or in calvinism where it's already decided from birth if you go to heaven or hell. Most of the class voted the regular way. I voted calvinism because I was having a hard time back then, and the thought that if I didn't do everything right in life but still could get into heaven gave me solace. My teacher confronted me about my choice and started asking me questions. Then he hit me with 'so you think if someone is predestined to go to heaven and decides to commit MASS MURDER they can still go to heaven?' I was stunned like no I was just kinda sad but now you apparently think I support freaking mass murder or something tf and it just made me feel worse. At the time it made me feel sad but now I just can't help but laugh about how my teacher came out of left field with that comment.
The way I always understood predestination was that since God exists out of time, he can see how our entire life will play out and basically knows the ending. So he already knows the serial killer will serial kill. They can't "surprise" God with that. Which just brings up even more questions as does everything related to Christianity. I'm not a protestant though. I was raised Catholic and was taught that pov as the "wrong" way but to me both were equally confusing.
Teachers assuming free will is a fact. Calvanism does not follow the modern common definition of free will. You are predestined to go to heaven or not (assuming single predestination not double) in the same way you are predestined for your sins. Calvanisn assumes free will is confined by the sins which are predestined and its our will that detirmines whether we act on that. A serial killer was never predestined for heaven. So the teachers analogy is moot because someone that does bad things was never meant for heaven anyway according to calvanism.

29:51 - For anyone wondering, the cities are Paramaribo (Suriname), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Johannesburg (South Africa). But the South African one seems to either be broken, or simply showing incorrect time. It should have the same time as Amsterdam, since this seems to be during daylight savings, meaning both are GMT+2 (while Suriname is GMT-3, accounting for the five hour difference between the first two clocks).

I figured that's what they were saying when I managed to piece together half of Liberty, but I gave up trying to group the letters together half-way into life.
The clip at 18:00 makes me think about how in a lot of medieval villages they would do this with the stairs, though not as obvious about it, so that people who live there and frequent these stairs knew which ones were uneven, whereas an invader would inevitably trip and fall, making noise and alerting people.:)
For the pencils, I can see a "Too good to go to hell" Pencil. That would be the opposite, where the start is the opposite of the brand, and the more you use it, the closer you get.

As for putting a pool on your balcony: Keep in mind that one liter of water has a weight of about 1 kg. A medium size Jacuzzi can easily hold over 2000 liter, which means the water alone will have a weight of over 2 tons resting on your balcony. A balcony is designed with maybe 3-5 people sitting there and maybe some food or a grill, so we are talking about a weight of around half a ton here. 2 tons are two compact cars, not including any people so far.
I suspect good public restroom sink designs are rarer than crappy ones. Even when they're not trying to be clever or aesthetic, you get the automatic ones that don't run long enough to give you warm water or designs where you can keep the water going, as long as you keep pressing down on the tap. I get why they don't want options the public can just leave running, but the results always suck.
The thing that kills me is that, if they really want to get all clever with the sink designs, they could just make one where you step on a pedal or something to turn on the water, so you're not touching a dirty faucet handle with your clean hands _or_ fighting a finicky timed/motion-sensing system. Innovation is needed -- they're just innovating in the wrong direction.

God, that "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" couldn't be worse. There isn't even a way to connect up the word "pursuit" without crossing over itself at least once.
It's crashed so hard you can't realize the wreckage anymore. Maybe it's a statement on the economic hand the Millenials and younger generations have been dealt? 🤔
So we've gotten our priorities so mixed up/scrambled, that our stated values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are no longer recognizable in our actions... Sure, I could see that as being a legitimate interpretation of this as an art piece.
Those values have crashed so hard, they've become unrecognizable. Could indeed be a statement on the economic situation that makes it so hard for people to build up wealth.

12:50 Staircase to the porcelain throne: I'm betting that is located in a finished basement. The toilet needs to be elevated like that so it can drain into the sewer line. Of course that doesn't eliminate the possibility the waterfall of poopy water down the steps. Fun fact, if there is a clog in the main sewer line, it will come out here first since it's probably the lowest drain in the system. That means it's actually more likely to have the poopy waterfall down the steps.
12:49 this can happen in very old houses where you have to retrofit indoor plumbing. If the house was built before pipes were common, sometimes you have to raise the floor to make room for the new piping. I used to live in a place that had this, although not nearly as extreme.
4:36 being French myself I think this is actually supposed to say "herbes", and that would make much more sense with the design's theme too (but before you ask, we call "herpes" the same thing in French, so yes, it's still a shitty design, now internationally so!)
That stairs one.. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE STANDARDISED STAIRS. For every centimeter of a raise per step, the horizontal surface of a step has to be twice the raise. Raise cannot be above "mid shin" high.. Or something along the lines.

As a wheelchair user, the automatic door that leads to the flight of stairs fills me with fury. I've encountered that so many times.
As a former EMT I concur, these are the WORST
Someone needs to push the designer down the very stairs they designed, in minecraft of course.
I doubt this is the case, but imagine if it was not a place meant for wheelchair bound ppl to access (like how many homes have patios with stairs before the front door, simply because making it accessible has never been a need), but the area is really rainy and the door was installed as a measure to allow ppl to seek shelter in their entrance from sudden onsets of downpours?

The only reason I could is because I’m American and if I didn’t know the phrase my history teachers would probably be concerned. It was still difficult and took about a minute to read it properly.
@@Haileydybdahl So it is a quote or something like that? Could you tell me something about the context of it? I am from Europe.
@@larafranke1802 it’s literally from our Declaration of Independence from Britain. I’m surprised being from Europe of all places you didn’t know that.
@@Haileydybdahl the only part I know is "we hold this truth to be self evident that all men are created equal"
We learned about the Boston tea party, about slavery and had discussions about the American dream. If I remember it correctly we saw a photo of the declaration, should or could read it and then we got to the next topic. We got taught about American history mostly in English class, the regular history lessons had been about our country, colonisation (mostly Africa), the french revolution and the industrial revolution. If I remember it correctly we also learnt a little about crusades, a small amount about ancient Egypt and the Roman empire (but I think I got most knowledge about the last one from the Latin class)
As a professional graphic designer, I can almost guarantee that the pregnancy test photo is the result of somebody higher up saying “can you make her look more pregnant? We want people to be sure she’s pregnant”, the designer taking it to ridiculous extremes expecting to be told to tone it down again, and the reviewer saying “YES!” XD happens far more often than you think. People with too much power who don’t know design having too much of a say in the actual design process.
The amount of times i've been asked to make something "more" and then in frustration I go extreme - only to get a green light? It baffles me, and hurts at the same time. I just had to confirm with my own experiences as well, have a good day :)
It's actually bizarre how many higher up positions are taken by people who know next to nothing about the thing they're supposed to govern over as the head of said company thing.
We really need to make it a requirement that people have the same experience in the field + whatever current higher ups have for such important places in the workspace.
@@sundalosketch4769 true, but often times, especially in the in-house corporate design I do, the higher ups are less concerned with the artistic/design aspects of the work but more about an over-all strategic vision. Would be nice, though, if they listened to the designers more often. XD
Worked at an ad agency in Manhattan... and they had to explain, MULTIPLE times, why blue is used as the color for demonstrating sanitary pads.

I think part of the issue with sink design is that by their very nature, sinks are a practical item, and designers forget that. They prioritize looks over the very core of what a sink is.
That happens a lot with technical things when designer ignore actual technical designers or engineers and do what ever they want.
I learned at school (media design and product design) the phrase "form follows function". We need to get back to that principle 😅
This is a major issue with architecture, actually. Architects will design ludicrous buildings that look really nice but will shear themselves in half or other such things, and then toss it to a civil engineer who has to try and make it stand. An extremely famous architect, world renowned, is most notable to the layperson for building several skyscrapers that turned the sun into a laser and melted cars.

I'm having an existential crisis just thinking about how arbitrary languages are. So words are made up noises usually derived from other made up noises that are likely from a dead language and they have a very specific meaning but the meaning can be relative or subjective and it can also evolve to mean something completely different depending on how we choose to use it... Forget herbs, heroes, and herpes; I want to know how we are even able to communicate through words?

That staircase is called a witches ladder. According to legend, witches can't climb it. From a more realistic standpoint, these kinds of stsirs are usually used as an alternative to a ladder in small spaces, where a normal staircase wouldn't fit

I once went to a cafe where their mugs didn't have handles. Yes, I will take 2nd degree burns with my tea, thanks haha
Ya mean Starbucks (jokes)
Theyre killimg off the weak
Where I come from that's normal. Lattes are always served in big glasses with no handles. Also the Turkish tea cups have no handles. In my friends house I never drink the tea while hot 🙈 I'm weak.
It's not particularly unusual around the world to not have ears on tea cups (or small coffee cups for that matter), but you're not supposed to fill those cups to the top so you can still grab it by the rim without your fingers literally melting. A lot of the time the real issue is that the mug designer tries to combine the North American size of mugs with the lack of an ear of cups and that just doesn't work in practice.
If they are serving their drinks for immediate consumption this isn't a problem. If your getting second degree burns on your hands from holding the mug your going to get 3rd degree ones from trying to drink the beverage.

As a former graphic designer, I think it the "idiot factor" should be known. You say "This goes by so many eyeballs before it's approved, how come no one caught this?" Trust me, a lot of eyes probably did, the head designer probably did and probably brought it up to the boss / client, but the boss / client was very insistent, thinking that they were a genius and their idea was soooo cute or soooo cool and "don't argue with me, this is what I want" and the job, ultimately of the designer was to be the design-monkey that made their vision happen and just no amount of arguing could sway them.
"No, I can't blow this tiny real estate picture up any more while making it look clear. I've made it as sharp as it's going to get" - (Tries desperately to explain pixels per inch and the nature of JPEG artefacts to someone who just doesn't get it and doesn't want to learn and why this other picture would work better, but noooo.)
I guarantee you that's why there are Not-See symbol headphones and Santa's Milk. Someone who was paying the bills thought it was cute, the designer argued with them to no end until they just said "screw it, the customer's always right, even when they're wrong, I just want to get paid."
Did you know that the saying is actually "the customer is always right in matters of taste" and was coined by Harry Selfridge?
Which only helps here if you question which is more important, thetaste of the boss or the taste of the target audience... but as a graphic designer who are you to say anything about the target audience... oddly enough they equally do not listen to marketing managers like me who collect the data about the target audience.
So here is another interpretation of one of my professors which is equally unhelpful here: "the customer is always right, a potential customer is potentially right, and once the person in your store decided to not buy anything they aren't customers and therefore obviously wrong"
yes i did indeed read all of that, thank you (i'm not being sacrcastic i actually read it)
Honestly, santa's milk is completely fine until you put it beside "milk for santa"
@@seigeengineYeah most people are otherwise not reading it that way because it IS in fact the normal way to say that in english. Unless of course they're mind is just already in the gutter, in which case bonus points to the designer for the double entendre. "Milk for Santa" just sounds stiff and weird to me anyways. I support "Santa's Milk" even if I will now giggle each time I read it like a 12 year old putting "in bed" at the end of every fortune cookie🥠
@@xkindredxsoulsxxx4195 I mean, it's the combination of the two.
Santa's milk is straight forward, but when you're putting it beside "milk for santa" that means they can't both mean the same thing, meaning you're forced to look for another meaning.
There is only one answer to the sink problem: Designers don't wash their hands.

The wallpapered light switch was actually a thing people commonly did back in the day, it was a way of being creative or just wanting to hide it by blending it in with the rest of the wallpaper. But sometimes, sometimes it was just difficult to find, much like that photo.
I was gonna say! You used to be able to get clear plastic switch plates so you could take your old one off, wallpaper your wall, and then put the clear plastic one on to cover the area around the switch properly without covering your wallpaper.
Mind you, the locations of switches used to be more standardized, I think: at a particular height, just inside and to the right when you went into a room. So you didn't (usually) need to stop and actually look for them that much.
Having said that, though, I have lived in some places with switches in just the dumbest possible spots. Including OUTSIDE the room, behind the door you have to open to go into the room (so it's hidden behind the door right when you need it), and on the other side of the previous room!

At that point, why do you have stalls in the first place 😂

OMG RIGHT
A possible problem is depending on how the magnets are arranged they could repel instead of attract. If you have it so Mangos automatically kiss ESDs then ESDs can't kiss other ESDs. That's too noninclusive for us.

Worst design I ever heard of was an elevator call system that was touch screen only - but they included graphics of the braille on the selection buttons 🙃 (and yes I'm in the US and this is *absolutely* not ADA-compliant)
I'm in the US. My university has a sign by the elevator with braille on it. The only problem is it was printed on letter paper so the braille is visual 😂
Our system is also a horrible touch screen abomination. Blind people have to press the access button then wait while it reads off every single floor. And you can't go up only one floor without a special card. Legal? Nope. But who cares, disabled people really don't belong there anyway, right?/s
I feel like America can have genuis things but we also have an equal if not more stupid things.
17:59 Those are actually called witches’ stairs, they were made a reeeaaallly long time ago because it was believed that witches couldn’t climb up and down them. probably because an old lady would sure have a lot of trouble. either way, it’s a pretty cool sign that your house, or apartment in this case, is pretty old and largely un-rennovated.
That's the lore behind them, bit there's no evidence that's what they where used for
The actual reason is what click said, it's a space saver
@@angrybidoof847 ohhhh. Huh. Well, thanks for correcting
It’s supposed to say ‘herbes’ - French for herbs. It’s a little herb garden as per the graphic, with a handle on the side so you can pick it up to put it under the tap or in the sun. 🙂
Edit: I read it as herpes, so still bad design 😂
That does make more sense
Ah, herpes ... The "gift" that keeps on giving and lasts forever 😁
I once took several years of school in French, and didn't learn anything.
But I thought that's what it was, yeah.
23:58 I am reasonably certain the sign is supposed to say "Animal And Us", with the toucan being the "I", the dog is supposed to be "M", the cat is "L", and the fish could be "D".
That's my best guess too. The sad thing is that this design could've worked if they had only made the animals more cartoony and letter-shaped, like in those alphabet books for young children... Now it just looks like random clutter around some letters ☠️
Yes. When I Googled it, it leads to a veterinarian in Mexico.
It says "Animal Anus" and you can't convince me otherwise. Come on in!
Yeah, the problem is that some of the animals are meant to be letters, but others are simply decoration, and is not always clear which is which. For example the bird after the first "A" is there only for decoration despite being in a space that could perfectly hold a letter, but then you have to guess that the fish after the "AN" is meant to be a "D" and not only a fish. So it may seem to read "Animal Anus", which could be the name of a veterinarian proctology clinic. 😂
I read it as “animal anus” 😭

Bad designs will always be the funniest things to me, since usually a whole bunch of people had the chance to intervene and no one did. I know , usually people probably were too lazy or buzy to actually look over it, but I like to imagine that for a significant portion people did see it and no one thought "that's not right..." or "maybe we shouldn't". 😂😂😂
Usually it's the boses with their BS ideas.
No matter how they are warned, their "idea" is a "good one"
But yeah, I'm sure lazy people can be involved as well.
I almost feel like in some cases lower rank people were almost afraid to say it looks like one controversial thing and not what was intended, because of the potential "why tf would you associate it with that" reaction, especially if you're the first (and thus at that point only) one to address it. Like, you know, "No one else sees swastika in it, Jimmy. Are you a nazi or something?".
Seeing how I have zero experience in design, that's a total guess, though. What isn't a guess is that if that's the case, you've probably cultivated a workplace where your employees are afraid to speak up when something is wrong, and that's really not a good thing.
@@Kasiarzynka Yeah, that will definitely play into it in many cases.

I've heard about people using the plastic bag that looks like mold to stop their coworkers from stealing their lunch. Although I suppose it could backfire if someone happens to be cleaning the fridge that day.
What's so funny to me is that I've never seen black mould on bread. Where I live, in the condition I store bread, we get white mould. So I didn't know anything was wrong.
13:22 they make plastic bags with green patches specifically to make people not want to steal them. Works great for coworkers who like to steal other people's lunch.
... until a coworker sees this and throws it into the garbage because it's "obviously not consumable any more" - apparently someone forgot it a week ago or so
... So sometimes the food will maybe disappear just because of this disgusting-looking bag.

Clicky-wikky pointing out the Cosby Surprise having the transparent plastic was the bad design, and not the fact that it was named a friggin’ “Cosby Surprise” felt strangely innocent.

17:58 those alternating tread stairs and are indeed a space saving design that allow you to fit stairs in a space too small for traditional stairs without having to have ladders. They're a little weird initially, but only because you're not used to them. Before long they feel just like any other staircase. They're also common on ships and in tiny houses. So they are designed for a practical reason.
But which country has a building code which allows staircases to be that steep?
@@rosiefay7283 Due to the design they don't feel as steep as they look. They are 100% up to code in most countries.
I'll take your word for it, but there better be rails and adequate lighting around those things, because there's no way in Hell I'd want to climb that in the dark! Or worse, try going down them in the dark... I'd break my neck so fast. 😨😨
@@themisfitowl2595 Yeah, they are most likely more dangerous if you fall down them. But falling down stairs is dangerous to begin with. They're honestly totally fine once you're used to them.
@rosiefay7283 stairs in the Northeastern US tend to be extremely steep with very shallow steps. I forget whether the anti-witch stairs (the alternating ones shown) crop up here, prob only in the old colony houses, but even into 60s/70s built houses steep staircases still crop up
I'm trans, so I get to discover some.. interesting men's bathroom designs now. Apparently a lot of older public men's rooms have really high stall doors in the US, at least according to my dad after I used a bathroom at a flea market with the door being inches below crotch height
Whyyyyyyy
Door costs less that way. Less materials. And stall door designers are also pervs. That's why there is a 3cm gap when we've been making doors with opaque seams for a long ass time.
Glad I'm transfem. I no longer have to worry about small children crawling under the stalls. Best of luck to you, sibling
I unironically think it is to prevent men from doing things they shouldn't be doing in the stalls. In spite of my PFP and misleading name, I am a 35 year old man, and notice this trend. Drugs and hanky panky happen in men's bathrooms sometimes.

The uneven stairs are called Witch Stairs and were supposed to prevent witches from being able to climb them. You mostly find them in the northeastern states of the US. They're "historical" so they don't have to abide by the usual grade limit for stairs, as they get grandfathered in to building codes.
I was about to comment the same. I've also seen them in parts of the UK and Ireland, and once even in Australia, weirdly.
I've seen and heard this a few times, and every time I do I think about some poor contractor who had to put stairs in where a chimney once was, and when the employers saw the work and started yelling he just said "It's because witches can't climb them!!" and the employers just accepted it as the truth without thinking...

One of the teachers in my grade has a decoration that says “let kindness ripple” but the ripple part is in cursive so it looks like “let kindness nipple
23:34 this always reminds me of a story with my history teacher. He asked the class what kind of belief for heaven we prefered (it was relevant to the class) the regular way 'do good go heaven, do bad go hell' or in calvinism where it's already decided from birth if you go to heaven or hell. Most of the class voted the regular way. I voted calvinism because I was having a hard time back then, and the thought that if I didn't do everything right in life but still could get into heaven gave me solace. My teacher confronted me about my choice and started asking me questions. Then he hit me with 'so you think if someone is predestined to go to heaven and decides to commit MASS MURDER they can still go to heaven?'
I was stunned like no I was just kinda sad but now you apparently think I support freaking mass murder or something tf and it just made me feel worse. At the time it made me feel sad but now I just can't help but laugh about how my teacher came out of left field with that comment.
The way I always understood predestination was that since God exists out of time, he can see how our entire life will play out and basically knows the ending. So he already knows the serial killer will serial kill. They can't "surprise" God with that. Which just brings up even more questions as does everything related to Christianity. I'm not a protestant though. I was raised Catholic and was taught that pov as the "wrong" way but to me both were equally confusing.
@@hyenaedits3460 Oooh thank you, that makes a lot of sense actually that way. That's really smart lol
Teachers assuming free will is a fact. Calvanism does not follow the modern common definition of free will.
You are predestined to go to heaven or not (assuming single predestination not double) in the same way you are predestined for your sins. Calvanisn assumes free will is confined by the sins which are predestined and its our will that detirmines whether we act on that.
A serial killer was never predestined for heaven. So the teachers analogy is moot because someone that does bad things was never meant for heaven anyway according to calvanism.

That is good information to know. I read braille and I see a lot of horrible braille signs, many of which are complete mistranslations. This particular sign's braille says "C L O S E T", which is hilarious to me. I think adding spaces between the letters makes it a little harder to read lol.

The "too cool to do drugs" pencils are (or were) a real thing, back in the 90s and early aughts when the DARE initiative (basically a big campaign across the US to combat use of drugs, alcohol and cigs in schools and educate kids on their effects) was in full swing. They didn't realize their mistake until it was too late. 🤣
Yeah, that one is a total classic... and so, SO easily could have been avoided by just flipping the orientation of the sentence!! 😭😂

I once encountered a bathtub with no visible faucet. When the water valves are turned a powerful jet of water shoots out of a hole in the ceiling that is powerful enough to remove skin and thus completely unusable as a shower. There was no curtain to prevent the water being shot into the tub from spraying all across the room and the tub itself was so large that filling it took over an hour.

As for putting a pool on your balcony: Keep in mind that one liter of water has a weight of about 1 kg.

A balcony is designed with maybe 3-5 people sitting there and maybe some food or a grill, so we are talking about a weight of around half a ton here. 2 tons are two compact cars, not including any people so far.

I suspect good public restroom sink designs are rarer than crappy ones.
Even when they're not trying to be clever or aesthetic, you get the automatic ones that don't run long enough to give you warm water or designs where you can keep the water going, as long as you keep pressing down on the tap.
I get why they don't want options the public can just leave running, but the results always suck.
The thing that kills me is that, if they really want to get all clever with the sink designs, they could just make one where you step on a pedal or something to turn on the water, so you're not touching a dirty faucet handle with your clean hands _or_ fighting a finicky timed/motion-sensing system.

12:50 Staircase to the porcelain throne: I'm betting that is located in a finished basement. The toilet needs to be elevated like that so it can drain into the sewer line. Of course that doesn't eliminate the possibility the waterfall of poopy water down the steps. Fun fact, if there is a clog in the main sewer line, it will come out here first since it's probably the lowest drain in the system. That means it's actually more likely to have the poopy waterfall down the steps.

12:49 this can happen in very old houses where you have to retrofit indoor plumbing. If the house was built before pipes were common, sometimes you have to raise the floor to make room for the new piping. I used to live in a place that had this, although not nearly as extreme.
