Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly?
-
Yeah women's socks don't make sense to me. They're socks. Why are they gendered?
-
no pockets
-
Oh wow, those really exist
-
The new caps they're putting on plastic bottles are awful. Make it very hard to put back on properly and we've have a few incidents with them looking on but they actually cross threaded and leaked. I just rip them off now.
Also, why is the glue on cereal boxes so damn strong now? I end up tearing the box more often than not these days and that never used to be the case.
-
permanently installed lamps with a socketed power supply that sticks like 10cm out of the wall.
-
I hate those.
Sit where it is comfortable and you touch the front, fucken gross, or sit back far enough and stain the bowl.
-
My oven’s vents point directly up my face. So when you stand in front of the stovetop while baking something, you’re directly exposed to the fumes of burning gas.

Overtime, our kitchen knives. Knives need to be thin, as thinner knives cut through ingredients more easily. Today's knives are designed instead to be marketed. Something incredibly thick, and sturdy, to make it feel "premium", when all its doing is tiring you out, since using a heavy knife gets exhausting, especially when its so thick it wedges in ingredients.
Vintage European knives are slim, and almost petite, because they knew how to make a good knife, in the same manner japanese knives are ground extremely thin, sometimes thinner than a postcard.

Women tend to have narrower feet.
We would all be better off if we just included foot width in shoe sizes though.

I am a vagina owner from birth, I never imagined the toilet bowl shape would pose an issue to penis owners. From reading your comment I'm still unsure of which toilet bowls you're talking about, I would appreciate if you (or anyone, really) could point to images of both so I, and potentially others, can compare. TIA

Those ridiculous new caps on plastic bottles are awful. They only lead to wastage as it's difficult for most people to reseal them properly and anything carbonated gets wasted. Tagging the lid to the bottle is not a world-saving solution for recycling.
-
Yeah it definitely took some getting used to. Very annoying. I usually always keep the cap with the bottle anyways, so it's not helping me. But I suppose some people would just yeet those caps everywhere
-
And don't forget! Yellow forward and brown backward (the rule of wearing underpants)
-
Wide foot owner here - can confirm shoe and sock should come in multiple widths not just lengths
-
Yeah good point I recently got a serrated utility knife and while it’s decently sharp, the profile is annoyingly wedge shaped so while cutting something soft like an orange is fine, anything hard like an apple will split before you can get a clean cut. Seems like it should have a more even, thinner side profile imo. Otherwise decent knife tho three stars.
-
Space consideration is a bit more obvious with the seat though
-
Why does it have to be olive oil?
-
Men and women have wildly different body shapes. Thus, gendered clothes.
-
I always separate the cap completely, it makes a little easier to close the bottle.
-
I guess people who are non-binary don't exist according to that. Or intersex people, or people who was born with differently shaped bodies.
