40+ Design Fails That Look Creepy And Make People Feel Uncomfortable

Design is everywhere: in the streets, on the bus, at work, and in our homes. There are plenty of good examples, and plenty of creepy design fails. You probably have an app you love to use, a restaurant you love to visit for its ambiance, appreciate a great pair of shoes, and know when you have an outstanding end-user, consumer, or human experience.

However, the opposite is also true. We detect whenever something has been made poorly, and, in some cases, it can get annoying. Or even uncomfortable. And the subreddit r/CreepyDesign is here to prove it. Created in 2013, this online community now has 568K members who are sharing unnecessarily freaky projects and creepy design fails, and we can blame them for wanting to unsee these abominations.
