I know its about bad UI, but it is nearly impossible for me to even try anything there. There is a giant banner telling me to not input real data and the bottom half is white for some reason.
It looks like this:
That’s actually not mine at all, that’s from codepen.io
I’ve also never seen it before, I think it’s as simple as following the steps in “More Details” though
You’ve not disabled JavaScript or something? It’s required for it to run
No, it runs fine. The banner is also only half the problem.
Why is the bottom half white? Lol
I’ve literally never seen it do that before or heard of it from anyone else either.
And the JavaScript is not actually used to render, it’s just plain HTML with some handlers made in js
So I think it’s that your computer is haunted
Ugh this is frustrating, there’s no way I can use this thing… my street number is in the ten-thousands 😩
Wait, for real?
Honestly, gives me an excuse to make it more evil, how many digits?
If you are looking for excuses to make it more evil make it accept Hawaiian style addresses with hyphens, like this one for a Walmart:
75-1015 Henry St, Kailua Kona, HI 96740
Oh my god
Loads of people have letters in their house “number” part of the address, as well as a much smaller number of addresses including a ½.
Tbh part of the point of Bad UX Battles is to highlight the things that people assume are true (but are not)

Lol yup. It is 5 digits, where the first 3 are the nearest cross street, and last 2 digits are house number.
So as an example, 21601 2nd ave, would be right at the intersection of 2nd ave and 216th street, while 21689 2nd ave would be closer to 2nd ave and 217th street. Super easy to navigate and find addresses when everything is a grid.
Please do, love your work.
