Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?

Why not put tooth paste in a jar with a little spoon?
Yah, I want a nice crusty jar of toothpaste with a nasty spoon and then I need a spatula to dig out the last bits vs just squeezing a tube. Just push on the tube with you thumb into the back of the opening and the last bits come out.

i use a solid wood one, but this suggestion works as well!
-
yup, there's no problem with wood. there's only risk when it starts to wear.
-
I always run into the common problems with my plumbus, no further explanations needed it think.

When your dick hits the bowl and you wonder what STD you just picked up.
-
Tape a dildo to your vulva now sit down on a round bowl and see if it touches the rim. Now imagine you have to pee while taking a poop and you now have to shove the end down so it pees into the bowl. Do this without touching the rim.

Thicker helps with balance in the hand. Cheap knives usually are too light in the handle or the blade is so thin it flexes. A sharp knife is what helps cut and you shouldn't work with dull knives.

Uhhhh what?
-
Or do what they do in chemistry which is to take a rod (or in the kitchen anything like a dinner knife or handle) and place it against the spout and let the liquid then run down the rod.

Step sister ? Are you stuck in the washer ? What ever am I to do!?
-
The vast majority of people don't fall into that and manufacturers will focus on the majority of customers.

UV light breaks the polymer bonds. You now have monomer dust.
-
Light bulbs! I thought when we moved away from the traditional incandescent the new stuff was supposed to last forever. Why do they die all the time!?
-
I have that and they still are a removed to get in or out of a crowded tool jar. Then I always bump that end switch and they pop open in the jar.
-
Wine bottles. After thousands of years of drinking you would think humans would develop a bottle design that doesn't dribble down the side after pouring.
-
It was the shape of the toilet what I couldn't picture, not the usage
-
When I replaced a set the other day I learned that some of them are not rated for enclosures
-
It's usually the electronic drivers. They overoverheat and degrade. Most burned LED bulbs still have working LEDs and just need to replace some component of the driver board.
-
I always thought this was super on purpose. Is it not intentional design for “child protection?”
-
It's usually because of cheap electrolytic capacitors. Letting a $10+ item die because they were too cheap to pay $0.25 instead of $0.15 for a properly rated component.
