Tycho said: inman999 said: Vacuum packaging
The type that requires industrial grade scissors to get into and don't even think of trying to rip it open as you end up looking like you've gone ten rounds with the cat. It's worse when the item is not even perishable. this is a great example. Was just paying for petrol and noticed that chapsticks are now packaged like this  Quite often small and easily pocketable and often stolen items are packaged thus. Can't think why...

sanguinary said: DavesFlaps said: SAP - those who (try to) use it will agree.  Absolutely. Had the please of attempting to use it a short while ago. Hopefully never again. I have the displeasure of using this daily at work. I know what buttons to press, but for the life of me I never have a clue what its on about.

SlimRick said: Film lids on ready meals - absolutely f  king useless. When's the last time you managed to remove one in one piece rather than just tear a thin strip off from around the circumference of the plastic container? f*cking annoying things. Exactly this happened to me yesterday, so had to pierce the middle bit, and then tear that off in several pieces, to leave another thin strip around the edge of the dish!

Resealable rice bags. It's like the designer acknowledges the fact that once you have put a force of 653 Newtons onto the top, it will split down the side emptying brown basmati every f king where. But it's ok, as they give you 0.645 of a square inch of half arsed sticky tape to try and mend it with. Utter b ks.

Kindle and other like products, what's wrong with a bloody book? The only reason I can think of to justify one is not lugging multiple novels on holiday. Tech for techs sake. Also I quite like to lie back in the bath with a novel, a £100 electrickery thing might not suit this enviroment well

Whereas one can read a book down at 6m! The trick with a paperback, once it's been soaked once, is not to try to open it dry. Leave it in the BC and only open underwater

GenePoolReject13 said:  I've done that so often its untrue but its only as bad as the old style glass bottles when they are almost empty. Tip up side down - nothing. Tap the bottom - nothing. Smack the bottom - nothing. Shake vigorously whilst swearing - meal completely covered with contents of the bottle.  Also, another vote for blister packs. I actually have quite a scar on the back of my hand from trying to get in to one of these. store it upside down. ...you 'tards.

Childproof medicine bottles that my wife can't open,She just gets the kids to do it?
What about self service checkouts/choose shopping and put in trolley/scan it/weigh it/pay for it/bag it/the only thing you don't need to do is restock the shelves?

Also I quite like to lie back in the bath with a novel, a £100 electrickery thing might not suit this enviroment well I bought the Kindle for that reason - to not take books round with me when travelling. The other thing it does is save space on storing a lot of books. In addition you can access them on a phone/ computer/ kindle if you forgot the book (or the next book in the series). So I don't think it's useless. Another one for SAP though - it is useless in regards to the interface. Or when you change something, try to save but it won't let you since you made some mistake, and then it's locked the cells that you changed and so you have to exit and start again... Useless!

had ham said: Speaking of milk jugs, how about these?  You may recognise it from s tty service stations across the land. It has but one purpose in life - milk. Store it, pour it. Except it f king can't, every f king time it spills from the f king spout. Never in a cup, always on your hand or the f king table. How hard, really, can it be? A very simple remit, but a big, f k-off, fail. You need one thing: commitment to operate one of these infernal devices. A fast, strong, powerful tilt and retrieval, sending the milk over the edge so fast it forgets to dribble everywhere. If you pussyfoot around carefully sniveling milk over the edge, like some fossilized grandmother, you will be in a whole world of milky, messy pain. Right, remember: tilt and retrieval, quick and snappy.

Hand dryers. After 100 years of development, they don't live up to their simple, stated purpose of actually drying wet hands.
