Poor design decisions on products
Discussion
Most of these.
The most used button is a) not prominent and b) not the closest to the most 'natural' position for your finger.
Many feel that they are designed by firing pretty buttons at a computer screen with no understanding of user experience, user interface, or the biology human hand.

You’d want a petrol fridge, washing machine and vacuum cleaner?StevieBee said:

I'll raise you Ebsfleet and raise you Stratford International. Built but never opened (except for the 2012 Olympics). So if you're in Essex or Kent and wish to use Eurostar you have to go all the way into London first! (or Folkestone.... which isn't too bad for Kent. Unless you're in Dartford).
Nobody can waste money better than governments spending tax payers money.

All fridges have some sort of gas. It’s the refrigerant.

Gas or paraffin powered then. I remember our fridge having an exhaust.

While I am not sure there has ever been a petrol fridge, you can get gas or paraffin fridges, petrol vacuum cleaners are still available, and petrol washing machines have been available in the past.
I remember my grand parents having a gas fridge. No idea how it worked but iirc it ran completely silently.Baldchap said:

I don't know why you wouldn't do it as a matter of course. I have no idea which of my vehicles require it and which don't.
Because it's never been an issue. I assume you are a youngster from your comment. Why would you need to depress the clutch to start it when for the past 70 years everyone has managed just fine by giving the gearstick a quick shake to check it's in neutral then turn the key?As for the poster who reckoned their car had driven itself off down the road on its own, clearly they haven't heard of this handy thing called a handbrake.
It's a "solution" to a problem that doesn't exist for everyone with more than 2 IQ. Those with less than 2 IQ can receive their Darwin award then go use the bus instead as they're too stupid to own a car.
I'm not entirely sure what the rudeness is about. Would you speak to a stranger like that in real life? Of course you wouldn't. Do better.
The cars that used to be locked in reverse ,instead of having a steering lock .
Rude r3g is wrong .

How about when the supermarkets decided to replace the plastic bags for customer to put bananas in, with paper ones with a plastic window. The bags were so narrow that a normal bunch of bananas was a struggle to get in them and as the top of the bag looked like it was cut with pinking shears; there were effectively multiple tears already started. Which is exactly what the bag then did, splitting from top to bottom as the bananas went in. So much for saving the environment!

Every single carton of milk, no matter what brand, or where purchased from, has this. I know what it's for, but it clearly doesn't work, has never worked in practice, as clearly too much pressure has been used when the screw cap has been installed. As big a packaging fail as there has ever been, because it's all of them, all the time, for years, decades even.

There are cup holder shaped things in the door pockets, but they're tiny and useless.
Other than that, all you get is this:
Which means if you want to use the cup holder, and change gears you need 2 extra elbow joints.
That's not a cup holder.There are cup holder shaped things in the door pockets, but they're tiny and useless.

The official Triumph motorcycles oil filter removal tool also fits the 370Z oil filter, it also fits into the recepticle where you have your bottle perfectly
