When Your Date Picker Has An Identity Crisis

When Your Date Picker Has An Identity Crisis
Ah, the pinnacle of frontend design! Nothing says "we care about user experience" quite like a date picker that requires you to assemble your birthday like a ransom note cut from different magazines. The month selector is having an existential crisis with "j", "nov", and "febr" trying to coexist with "octo", "em", and "uly". Meanwhile, the day field defaulted to zero because apparently being born on the 0th day of the month is totally a thing now. And let's not forget the year 1900 - perfect for all those 124-year-old users filling out your form. This is what happens when you tell the intern "just make it work" without code review.

Right Idea Wrong UI

Right Idea Wrong UI
Someone tried to create a radio button UI in real life but completely missed the point. Radio buttons are supposed to be mutually exclusive—you can only select one option.

This is what happens when product managers say "make it look exactly like the mockup" without understanding the underlying functionality.

Schrödinger's Developer: Dead Or Alive?

Schrödinger's Developer: Dead Or Alive?
Schrödinger's Developer: simultaneously alive enough to fill out an online death certificate form, yet dead enough to need one. The ultimate edge case that no UX designer anticipated! How exactly is a deceased person supposed to select "Myself" here? This is what happens when you skip those user stories about zombies during sprint planning. Next up: the form probably asks for your email to send confirmation that you're successfully dead.
