Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Most clothes, oddly gendered and sexist and it's fucking weird having different clothes for people who identify differently, like clothes are clothes. Make them for everyone. It's fucking wild.

Yeah women's socks don't make sense to me. They're socks. Why are they gendered?

Women tend to have narrower feet.

We would all be better off if we just included foot width in shoe sizes though.

I've bought women's socks for a long time if they were cheaper never had any issues with the fit
