the idea of people maliciously trying to make everyday life slightly more annoying is quite catchy I think. once you start thinking about it you can see it everywhere

Invented by Japanese company Denso Wave in 1994 as a tool for tracking auto parts, these codes are designed to be quickly readable by machines, particularly smartphones, but are generally illegible to humans.
...
“These attacks take advantage of the fact that QR codes, by nature, are difficult to interpret visually, so victims often don’t know where they are being directed to until it’s too late,” said Amir Sadon, director of research at cyber security consultancy Sygnia.

no one has mentioned the fun one can have with this? some idiot has enabled 'ding dong doorbell" on their front door and I plaster over their QR code with links to the most reprehensible sites on the Internet? or... I take a copy of their QR code and I plaster it all over every wall and lamppost I can find with promises of FREE SEX AND DRUGS, effectively DDOS'ing the idiot who signed up for "ding dong doorbell" because they can't conceive of a world where someone would actually "knock on the door"

are we really heading for a world where "knock knock" jokes are a thing of the past?!!!!
