The number of well-designed buildings, interiors, and items you see in a day would be impossible to calculate.

But it’s not the good items that stand out: it’s the poorly executed design decisions that catch your eye.

These design fails were photographed by social media users from around the world, and collated into a funny gallery by Bored Panda.

Among the inexplicable designs is one snap showing a pillar built directly in front a seat, in a church.

Another of the photos shows a public bathroom, with the urinals put awkwardly in front of the stall doors.

Here, FEMAIL shares some of the most inexplicable design fails from around the world, that will leave you wondering what they were thinking…

There's nothing like placing the toilet stall right in the middle of the classroom - that way, the pupils only have to move a few feet in either direction whether they are studying, eating, or using the bathroom
