Welcome to The Most Rotten Designs.COM
The most rotten designs are now exposed for you. This site is taking a crack (with some humour) at exposing rotten designs that frustrate our every day lives. If your company, name or product appears on this site, and you would like it removed, you must correct or explain the rotten design to all of us that had to live with your rotten design. You can send an e-mail to marc.johnston@live.ca and we will remove the article with pleasure.
You may also signal bad designs to us by e-mailing the information and pictures to marc.johnston@live.ca. Please indicate if you want your name published with the rotten design details, and propose a solution.
I hope that this site will in a little way make our world a better place. Thanks and have fun reading, it will at least take out some of the frustation that we live because of these rotten designs.

| Ugly Nissan Quest |
|
The bug : In my opinion, even if the Nissan Quest is surely a great vehicle, it is just realy ugly. The rear of this minivan is horrible. The diving front also. I think that the people at Nissan probably felt inspired from the Gremlin design. They both have that ugly "rear". It's already bad enough to have to own a minivan, but when it looks like this I would put on a paper bag and make wholes to see while I drive. The proposed solution : Complete Redesign ________________________________________________________________ |

| Royal Bank web site (rbc.com) | ![]() |
The bug : RBC is asking us the following question : How Can We Help?. The possible answers are Select..., Canada, United States, International and About RBC. This does not answer the question!, it's like if you asked someone "What's your name", and he answers "17". The proposed solution : To the question "How Can We Help?" I would have as choices "I would like to do online banking in Canada", "I would like to do online banking in the United States" etc. (maybe with shorter phrases) ________________________________________________________________ |

| Mac OS X, Print a 5x7 | ![]() |
The bug : When you want to print a 4x6 on Mac OS X (which is great except for this rotten design), the choice is in the list. When you want to print a 5x7, it's just not there!, I wasted a lot a time searching in Google for the answer. The answer is finally that you have to select "CD/DVD Tattoo". What the hell is this tattoo thing anyway? The proposed solution : Put 5x7 next to 4x6. PS while your at it, add 8 1/2 x 11 also ________________________________________________________________ |

| Microsoft Windows Live.ca password | ![]() |
The bug : Windows live asks me about 14 times a day what my password is on the Mac OS X Mail app. The proposed solution : Find a way to enter this information once, and only once. I am close to closing my live.ca mail account. By the way, I have a google gmail account setup with the same Mac OS X Mail app, and it NEVER asks me for the password. I set it up once, and only once. The live.ca account also goes off line about once every day, and I have to reconnect it. ________________________________________________________________ |
