At first glance, the compass point cushions seen in this photo seem entirely inoffensive.
But look closer, and you'll notice a glaring mistake; the designer has gotten his south and east muddled up.
And the fact they made it to the shop floor suggests the quality control department at the homeware store responsible leaves a lot to be desired.

The bathroom seems to be in a hospital or nursing home. Maybe the roll we can see is intended for nose-blowing, and there’s another roll, that we can’t see, near the toilet.
Lol.
The “S” for south is smaller too, I think I detect another level of ignorance above and beyond not understanding compass directions while designing pillows with a compass rose on them.

They built/placed them under trees.

A guy comes in madder than a hornet and shoves a brand new Champion spark plug in my face that has no threads on it. His story was he was out in the Gulf of Mexico and when fishing slowed down to nothing he decided to change the plugs on his boat. He took the old plugs out and dropped them in the ocean and the last one he took out of the box was the threadless one. He claimed he had to be towed in by the Coast Guard because the engine would not run with one open hole.
