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

There's a balance that needs to be maintained. A general purpose knife like a chef's knife needs some thickness to it, otherwise it can't effectively chop through tougher things. It's also not a knife you are supposed to hold the full weight of when cutting most things. Thin knives are awful for things like cutting a cabbage in half or cutting chicken bones.

They dull knives

Yeah I hate having button downs that tuck only one inch into my waist (I'm a man)
-
I love my simple metal Yeti bottles.

Chairs and tables. Why do I have to squeeze my thighs between the chair and the dinner table and then bend down awkwardly when I eat to not splatter all over? Why are chairs so high and tables so low? Just put the table higher so the food is closer to my mouth and why do we even need chairs anyway?
Milk cartons suck now. I'm the 90s, we could fold and push to open. Why do we need scissors to open them now? Oh and half of them now have a plastic lid in the middle so you can't even pour out the last drops anymore.

A lot of OTC meds that are in boxes have annoying packaging where you have to peel off the little paper before you can push the pill through the wrapping. The paper doesn't always like to peel off properly and it makes it harder to get the pill out of the packaging.
-
Chairs and tables will always feel right for some and bad for others. My legs are long so if there are table supports I need to back away from it and I end up sitting too far from the table. Then casual restaurants all seem to be using those horrible metal chairs that feel like they are made for prisons that have these constricting backs. We need chairs to sit.
I always hated those glued and folded top milk cartons. Every other one would be a struggle to get the seam to open and sometimes I ended up taking a knife to hack it open.

Wood boards don't harbor bacteria assuming you wash them. The wood dries out and the bacteria die with it. They need moist surfaces with some food supply to grow.

They ruin knives

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.
