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?

I'm going to go with that horrendous, non-absorbent, 1/8th ply toilet paper that gets stocked in public and office bathrooms.

I'm on Team Bidet now, so it doesn't bother me as much as it once did... but the stuff should not exist.

I'm guessing that one day, the people who buy the stuff will figure out that it they're not winning if it costs one-third the price of normal TP when everyone has to use ten times more of it, but who knows when that day will happen. Because it hasn't happened yet.

Just dont try to spray up your ass, its pretty hard but you dont wanna.

But now you only use three or four squares of TP to dry off instead of fingerpainting shit all up your asscrack until the point you've been conditioned to believe is clean enough.

One problem though, shitting at your workplace or anywhere else will be insufferable. My LPT is to take one of the better hand towels and wet it in a sink before hitting up a stall. Thank me later.

A water bottle with a sport cap is a sufficient travel bidet.
