Design Despair

Noticing the over use of a design style or font in use in popular culture, which leads graphic designers to mental fatigue and despair. Severe cases result in murder/suicides using metal etched Helvetica letting, art deco lamps of slender women holding opaque spheres above their heads and starbursts containing the word 'New'.
Suzi exclaimed "Oh Brad! I just can't get over this Steampunk fad we've got at the moment. It's giving me serious Design Despair. If I see one more flyer using the Coffee Tin font I'm going to destroy (insert any significant cartoon cultural icon) by giving it claws and dripping blood.

Man Design

Any functional design that is meant for a woman but obviously designed by a man and thereby rendered useless.
Man Design can most readily be found in public restrooms, where the toilet paper dispenser is so low as to not be reachable from a sitting position.

Man Design can also be seen in a public restroom stall that is easier to get into than it is to get out of.

There is nowhere to put a bag or coat when washing ones hands in a public restroom.
