Screenshot of a form that asks "Will the viva be held in person or online (e.g., Zoom)? Please delete as applicable," and the two possible answers are "yes" and "no".

mysql workbench UI makes it impossible to know if the user's picking a case sensitive or case insensitive collation because obviously they're out of screen space. #ui #uifail #design

do not space radio buttons/checkboxes equally to each option. leave an extra space between options. #ui #uifail #ux
two radio button labels ("kadin" and "erkek") with a radio button right between them.

Dear Apple
Why did you design your new tabs so they look like a search bar 😳 SO SAD...

2+ years based in this office and I’m still none the wise as to which of these buttons turns the lights on and off #UIFail
A panel of 6 buttons. They are labelled with numbers 1 to 5, and the final button has a empty circle

Look at this ridiculous deceptive UX pattern on #SoundCloud. The top image has the checkbox checked but the "confirm cancel" button is disabled. When you click on the checkbox, it then fills in white and the "confirm cancel" button is enabled.

These screenshots compare two states of a cancel services form. The background color is very light pink. The first shows a checked checkbox with a confirmation statement. There's an active "keep plan" button and a disabled "Confirm and cancel plan" button. The second image shows the checkbox checked with a white background and the "Confirm and cancel plan" button active. This can be confusing for users since the checkbox appears to already be checked, leaving the user with no option other than to click the "keep plan" button or close the app. By clicking that checked checkbox, the background turns white, barely visible against the light pink background. Only then is the "Confirm and cancel plan" button active.

How often do you check your written content and functionality when you test your UI?

Screenshot of the “Add Ons” section of a restaurant menu item in Instacart. All selections are greyed out and thus unselectable, yet it’s marked as required.

Is it really that hard to adjust the volume of a tapped video based on current time and location? The fact that creators still have to write “⚠️ Volume warning” feels like a clear fail in UI/UX design.

So, under "Info" is "World Information". However, there's also a "World" tab that does not have world information (it's story and item information). It's almost as if the #AIDungeon people looked at the insanity of RPGGo and said, "Let's just copy that shit for our new #Voyage site." #UIFail #UXLife

Dear @microsoft.com and #ourtlook #UxUi Designers: instead of turning on a literally 5 difffent pride modes in my email client I would like to have a little bit more info in which account I switch. Simple “S”, “I” or a MS or google logo is not that informative.

That was a nice shopping trip, and a nice dinner. I ended up lucking out, getting some dark meat fried chicken right from the fryer. 😋

It turns out that Bluesky moved the new post button to the bottom of the menu bar from floating on the lower right side of the screen. #uiFAIL #uxFAIL

That #tripit still forces me to use AM/PM irks me, but this latest #uifail takes the cake...of course we could blame the OS for removing the scrollbars, but I really had to spend a hot second figuring out how/where to set the the time to "11".
