Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?
-
Reusable bags that have handles longer than the bag itself, literally worse than the plastic bag version which can be handled properly
-
Front-load washers should have a brake for the drum that prevents it from rotating while digging out clothes. Last thing I want is twisted/sprained wrist while peeling towels off the walls of the drum.

Why exactly do you even care?
I own women clothes (as a male), my wife owns many men clothes. We dress however we like, we don't care for labels or what gender is put on there. If I'd feel like wearing a ping hello-kitty-dress, I'd do so.
Why do you give a crap about how some store genders something? Pick what you prefer from wherever?
Seriously asking, not mocking or anything. -

Found another problem with your oven, get one from this turn of the century!

There were a lot of very public cases of people trying to or threatening to add poison to cereals, after all. Something like 30+ years ago of course, but it might have influenced this.

Yeah it's a difference when it's a cleaver, something meant to apply raw force, and hence needs a certain weight to be usable.
But a knife?!

Motor oil tastes funny.

I'm sorry to say this, but I don't need the extra space for H-cups my ex needed.

Totally not the point, and it was obvious, but hey, if you want to be offended instead of engaging with the thread, that's your perogative.

Protip: Buy the XXXXXL size, throw it over your junk, then shrink-wrap it with a heat gun.

I'm curious about how you propose this would be done...
-
I feel like plastic packaging in general has become much harder to rip open at the seam.
Anyone else notice this, or am I just much weaker now? -
Keyboards are the obvious one.
The standard keyboard layout is designed to slow down typing, because typing too fast lead to the arms of a typewriter hitting each other.
And why is one of the most accessible large keys fucking Capslock?
And why is there empty space around the cursor keys, so you have to use WASD as a workaround in games?
I'm not even talking about the menu key, Windows key and Copilot key. -
This is so you can put them up on your sholder. Well some that arnt jank.

Thanks for those! Clear as day.

The keyboard I'm currently using has an F-key that's tied to a lock screen. I accidentally hit it several times a day, and end up having to put in the passcode to unlock the computer every time.
I wish I could disable that stupid key. I'm tempted to pop it right out. But I use a shared computer, so I'm limited in options here.

I knew about different bowl / seat shapes, but I never thought about the issues for folks who have a penis.
Very enlightening. Thank you for bringing it up! It's very interesting.

How hard are you pulling out towels that there's a risk of getting caught up in it ?
-
Stainless steel ones are the way to go

Don't they fit in a draw?
