le chauffeur de taxi français for sure knows the way

Seeing this taxi driver in Paris using 6, yes S I X navigation devices, I had to ask why he utilizes all those gedgets - the answer, short and simple: "It is my job."

Hilarious.

Und was ist mit Minderjährigen ÜBER 18 Jahren?

Error Page

I think this is a well-made Error Page. 

The tabs are gone

Someone on aldi noticed that the tabs don´t work well on mobile. They got replaced by a carousel.

A Different Airport Experience

Another Airport. This one has free drinks and USB Plugs and electric sockets! By the way, this is in Munich.

When tabs don´t work

Observing people - seeing user needs

At this airport the user needs were not understood. People didn´t need telephones (what the picture does´t show: there were 10 telephones in a row nobody used) they might need electric sockets near a seat.

Elevator to "OF"

There are two sets of buttons in this elevator. Obviously there were different opinions on what´s the best letter(s) for "Oberfläche".

Arrows - the more the merrier!

All you see is a ramp going up (right side) and two stairs going up, but the signs are trying you to convince to go downstairs. This looks a little bit like an A/B Test: "Are five arrows pointing down more convincing, or will eleven arrows pointing left do the job?" 

Slow down

Is this really a contemporary depiction of a radar trap?

Toilet icons

Airplane UX

When you travel on an airplane and have nausea, at least this paper bag might manage to put a smile on your face for a second. 

English, Bavarian, French, Italian

Some people can´t handle so many different languages...

A sign gone wrong in many ways

When users don´t understand your icons

Someone felt the need to put stickers with explanations all over the coffee machine. 

Italian Restaurant in Germany

For Chinese people who come to Germany to eat italian this must be a good User Experience. (I found this in Rothenburg.)

What are you talking about? Menagen?

Speak the users language - or don´t - and see what happens when they don´t understand you.

Pull

This is a sliding door

When you have to explain a door, something has gone wrong.

Using less packaging material

Bad Design Example: Someone tried to use less packaging material, this kind of worked. But the purchase arguments are printed behind the product itself, they are not readable anymore. 

The glass door

This is obviously a door. Is it?

Then this is also a door? No. 

Warning sign in the elevator

Attention! Carrying a garbage can around can get pretty nasty in here.

Fascination Elevator buttons

Elevator buttons keep catching my attention. Although it seems such an easy task to design buttons for going up and down, I encounter so many variations of solutions. Here is one I found in Lisbon, Portugal. I wonder what people expect when pushing "01".

What does S an U stand for?

salt and pepper shaker

In this video Don Norman talks about complexity. At minute 1:15 of the video he talks about salt and pepper shakers.

In real life, things sometimes turn out to be used in a different way than the designer intended. 

Another restaurant, similar problem...
