Rejected Therapy Chairs

Out of all of the DIY fails on this list, this one is my favorite. The caption for the photo says, “Therapy chairs for childrens’ hospital were rejected. Wonder why?” That was sarcasm, probably. It’s obvious why these would be rejected. It’s impossible to clean a chair made up of stuffed animals. And as someone else pointed out in the comments, it’s like sensory overload for a little kid. Maybe if they had an autism diagnosis, it might be too distracting for them to handle. Whoever made these had the best intentions at heart. But now they’re stuck with these very weird pieces of furniture, which we can only assume they were trying to sell online.

The Dread Bed

Rastafarians love to wear their hair long in dreadlocks.In Rastafarianism, the hair is considered a symbol of strength, spirituality, and connection to God, also known as Jah. Rastafarians believe that their hair should not be cut, and they let it grow naturally into long, matted coils. Some people like to follow that style, even if they’re not a Rasta. A lot of people who followed the style without the spiritual belief attached will eventually get tired of their dreadlocks and cut them off. For most, it was just a phase. (Especially if they aren’t Rastafarian.) But it takes years to grow dreadlocks. So it’s sort of understandable to feel sentimental. This person decided to turn their dreadlocks into a pet bed. To me, this is cringeworthy, because it’s literally a bed made out of human hair.

How Long Before They Rot?

I’m assuming that this was originally posted on Facebook Marketplace. The caption on the photo says, “My wife made special Italian style Christmas spaghetti ornaments. They’re fairly cheap, at $5 each. Let me know if you’re interested. Thanks. (They’re sealed with epoxy so they won’t smell.)” Yikes. It doesn’t matter if it won’t leak. The food is still going to go moldy inside of the ornament. And it’s not even cute. Even if you had an Italian themed Christmas tree, you’d probably not want these. On the bright side, this guy is at least a very supportive husband for posting his wife’s craft project online. In the end, love wins. So that’s all that matters.

Curtains Made From Tape Measures

This project seems sort of clever, but it’s also very stupid. Someone decided to create a room divider by purchasing multiple tape measures, attaching them to the wall, and extending the tape down to the floor. So you can extend the tape as long as you want. This lets you make different patterns with the tape. Sure, it’s kind of cooler than having a traditional curtain. But if you worked in this office, you would quickly get tired of this. And it was probably a lot more expensive to put together than just hanging up a traditional curtain. This is a total DIY fail in our book.

It Feels Like You Would Expect

Some people swear by stepping on a tennis ball to improve circulation and stimulate blood flow to the arch of your feet. There are actually several different types of pain-relieving things you can do with tennis balls. So, it’s kind of logical. There is an actual purpose behind this chair. But when it’s taken out of context and used as decor in a juice shop, it’s truly random. The caption of this photo said, “Saw this at a juice shop. Sat in it for a little bit. Feels exactly how you’d expect.” Maybe they put it there as an Instagram-worthy thing for people to photograph. Otherwise, it was just a weird decision to put it in a retail setting.

Hiding Behind a Facade

The caption of this photo says, “NOT A MOVIE SET! I have been so fascinated by this house for years and they finally took down the facade THE DAY AFTER I GOT A GOOD PICTURE! Had to share!” Wow, this is truly crazy. It’s like they wanted a new house without actually paying for the full construction price. But what do their friends and family think when they come over to visit? One of the top comments said, “Not sure where this is but in DC lots of developers do this. If you tear down an entire building, it’s a new development. If you tear down everything except the facade and a foot of wall on either side it’s a “renovation” and taxed way lower.” You learn something new every day.

Life-Sized Cat Men

We saved the absolute best (or worst) for last. It really speaks for itself. This life sized cat man is like something out of the creepy movie version of Cats (2019) that everyone hated. This came from a post on Facebook. The text reads, “After all these years, they’re finally finished! Three life size cat-men, made from discarded cat hair, semi precious gemstones, and melted crayons. They are currently displayed in the furthest edge of my backyard, near the woods. If you would like to schedule a time to come see them in person, please DM me. (The best time to see them is just as the sun is setting.)” How many people took her up on her offer? And how well are these statues going to fare under the elements of nature?
