We’ve all heard that old saying that goes, “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure,” right? While that can be true in some circumstances, it isn’t always the case. No one would think about installing a toilet shaped like a shoe. Just think about the logistics for that one! There’s also no way someone would put their bed in the middle of a pool or paint a clown face on the ceiling, right? Honestly, that last one sounds a little terrifying. Imagine waking up to that image every day. Ugh.
While doing a little digging, we found that the internet is a wonderful place. One thing we discovered that blew our minds is that there’s a Reddit thread called Awful Taste But Great Execution (r/ATBGE). This Reddit thread is where people post pictures of “everything that displays quality craftsmanship in the least elegant way possible. All things gaudy, tacky, overdone, and otherwise tasteless. Work done so well, you won’t know whether to love it or hate it.”
We’ve pulled the following images (and all the best commentary) from there, as well as from the Instagram account @pleasehatethesethings.
