Lately I’ve been having fun on Pinterest, searching for creative ways people are using QR (Quick Response) codes, those 2-dimensional bar codes you scan with your smartphone to view videos, grab contact information, or get deals.
During my QR Code surfing, I’ve found some great/pathetic (depending on your perspective) examples of QR Code fails. I’ve pinned them, of course, so you can see them all at once.
Here are four of my favorites:
The Toilet Tank

Is this actually a QR code inside a toilet tank?
Let me lean in there with my smartphone to get a good shot… splash. Oops!
Airport Security

Waiting in line at airport security is boring. Just be careful not to shout, “I want to scan the QR code to learn more about guns and bombs!”

Whee! This QR code spins! Try to capture it with your camera. I dare you.
We Don’t Need No Education

No readin’, ritin’, or ‘rithmetic at our school. QR codes do just fine.
Share links to QR Code Fails you find
Found any good/bad QR codes lately? Be sure to share a link in the Comments, and I’ll pin it to my board.
