Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?
-
I dont think I've ever seen a spork with teeth that could actually pick up food like a fork, so it's just a bad spoon.
I have, just weight based. Heavier item harder to pick up, needs longer teeth. If for some reason you are eating chips with a Spork instead of a fork, not a big difference really.

For example, I'm incredibly confused about how you're supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it's side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.
Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can't see what you're doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who's idea was that?
Yeah, why do people blow their noses into PAPER when you can just go to the bathroom sink and hork in your hands, and then wash up afterwards??? Why would people walk around with dried boogies on they face when they can wash?? Why? Why, Mister Anderson, why, why?

Towels (or other clothes) can stick to the drum and as you pull them out, the balance of the drum shifts and can cause it to spin. If you are grabbing something in a fuller load, your hand/wrist can become entangled and rotate with the drum.
I think mine might have that brake? It's never spun while off even removing sheets, or several kilos of clothes.
It might not, but it doesn't spin. Asko is the brand I have. It doesn't understand the concept of time though. Just be ause the timer should go 17, 16, 15, 14 doesn't mean it won't end up going 17, 13, 29, 3, 26, off.

NOT FUCKING ACCEPTABLE WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS.
Most of my tongs have a metal square that slides down the length to keep them closed, is that not normal?
-
Okay Team Bidet, how are they actually supposed work?
Just dont try to spray up your ass, its pretty hard but you dont wanna.
But now you only use 3 or for squares of TP to dry off instead of smearing shit all up your asscrack until the point you've been conditioned to believe is clean enough.
One problem though, shitting at your workplace or anywhere else will be insufferable. My LPT is to take one of the better hand towels and wet it in a sink before hitting up a stall. Thank me later.

permanently installed lamps with a socketed power supply that sticks like 10cm out of the wall.
Why would a permanent lamp be socketed at all? If it's permanent wire that shit properly.

OMG I thought I might be the only one!
I do this too and it drives everyone nuts but it's so much better!
Only thing is sometimes I miss a snot rocket that goes astray.

Any time there's a ready meal from the supermarket and for some reason the adhesive is way stronger than the plastic film. You end up with loads of bits of film just sort of stuck to the rim of it. Super annoying.
The glue gets weaker when it's heated. They use the same film for oven meals as well. It comes off fine when you finished heating, but it's a pain in the arse when cold.

I feel like it's a more middle class/poor US thing. They often also keep their toilet cleaning brush out in the open, displayed in a fancy caddy.
Might just be lack of closet space? Perhaps the plumbing is so shoddy it makes sense to keep it out for easy access.
I think most places keep a brush in the toilet in a fancy caddy. That's because the expectation is that everyone scrubs any skid marks before leaving.
I suspect that the plunger is to do with standard sewage pipe guage rather than just "shoddy" workmanship or whatever. That's why bidet spray is more or less mandatory in South East Asia, the sewage pipes just aren't wide enough to handle toilet paper.

I prefer wooden pegs with a stainless spring, but plastic has to be pretty much the worst choice.
I found the wooden one degrade after a while and break, yer 100% agree plastic is rubbish

Just tell me that you turn the water on pre-hork instead of touching the fixtures with hork hands, and I'm totally fine with your suggestion.

That's pretty much a swamp cooler
Lol yup, got the idea from a Technology Connections video on how one of the common humidifier designs are literally just large swamp coolers

Yer fair enough, can't say I've ever had that experience, mine moves around but like maybe a 1/4 rotation at about a snails pace

Step sister ? Are you stuck in the washer ? What ever am I to do!?
A person of culture I see
-
Sure, but my fridge is pretty much right beside the stove so it works out nicely for me.
Makes sense, i was more confused about the og pics but looks like heap of people have said the same thing i would of, I've never know a set of tongs that don't have the locking tab at the back

Laptops with no intake dust filters.

- Spray bum
- Pat dry with TP
The tricky part with phase 1 is managing water pressure. Too little is ineffective. Too much blasts shit everywhere.
Do a test squirt into the bowl so you know what you've got to work with. Start with low pressure to get most of it, adjust angle of necessary, then hit it with everything.
I get that's the principle, but how long are you supposed to spray for? How much pressure? Is there a trick to it? In my own limited experience, it doesn't actually do much more than dampen the poo.

Of course! You need the hork-lube to do it right

When I was a kid cereal didn't have no zippers! We rolled up the one end and watched it partially unfurl when we let go, and we were satisfied with that.

Humidifiers.
It's just a pool of water with a little nebulizer and a fan to blow the mist out a chimney.
Trouble is, they're all made by the fucking plague demon Nurgle with the sole purpose of aerosolizing mold and bacteria by having the tiniest nooks and crannies than cannot be reached to be physically cleaned.
And before I get the "you gotta clean it with vinegar every week" comment, two points:
- You don't soak your hands in soap and rinse them off and call them clean. You gotta scrub them.
- Am I supposed to fill a 5 gallon bucket with vinegar to soak the whole water tank every week? Because the chimney goes right through that bitch.
You better start showing Plague Daddy, Prince of Decay, God of Chaos Nurgle some goddamn respect
