22 Things That Were Made by People Who Had No Clue What They Were Doing

The design of an object must be functional and aesthetic. Or, at least, that is what is taught in courses related to this subject, which involves learning how to create an item that looks good and meets the needs of those who buy it. But not all creators manage to do that, resulting in strange situations that only make you wonder why these things exist and what they were looking for when creating them.

Bright Side compiled different pictures that show not everyone is cut out to design things and that sometimes it’s better to ask a professional to take care of business.
