Shopping trolleys.
1 - never find one with four working wheels
2 - never find a water course without one
3 - Is that really the most efficient design for the job? That enormous mass of metal? |  | | |

don't get me started on grocery shopping. Could have a thread of its own but I think my #1 pet hate is people who pack at the tills. Please just put the stuff in the trolley and pack it at the boot of your car. It would eradicate queues. |  | | |

I love you mate
I used the expression "Licky Bus" the other day and was met with blank looks even after explaining it.
You've restored my faith. |  | | |

Coat hangers - I know they do the job when they are hanging up, but every time I go to get one from the laundry basket I end up dragging about 20 out, all hooked on to each other. It drives me insane.
It's little things like that which push you over the edge.
Cheese graters aren't too clever either. |  |

Cling Film. Would be fine if it did what it's supposed to, instead of sticking to itself, refusing to tear unless you use scissors, clinging to the bloody scissors etc. | | | |

Got a shock with one of theses the other week.
Why oh why would I want the worlds biggest ringpull 20 years after we phased them out? I ended up carrying it then shoving it in the can.

This tip changed my life: at either end of the clingfilm box, is a bit that you push in, which holds the roll in place and makes it a doddle to use. Pointing this out to people has become my new party trick - nobody knows about it. Must be very frustrating for the designer. |  |

Corned beef tins, with the little key object that is attached that you have to pull from the tin (when it seems to be glued so it can never move) and then somehow slot a little piece of tin into it and unwind around the tin.
Never works without getting a proper tin opener out, normally after some sort of cut to the skin. |  | | |

At Sainsbury's in Holborn you can scan your shopping with their Android app and pack as you go, and then scan a QR code at the end. Payment is deducted automatically so you don't have to queue at the till.

As a personal favour please remove that W word from your vocabulary, some children with sensory processing disorder experience the world primary through their mouth. This is even worse than the re**rd word which as a community we are fighting to make obsolete.
No judgement .. just passing on the word.
Thanks

You want to try getting stuck behind someone who is sorting their clingfilm origami out before they get home. |  |

a neat tie into the OP here...
wear oven gloves when you separate the two parts of the tin to avoid the cuts. |  |

Could they not just design a chair that holds an umbrella instead of this degrading 5 hit?

aeroplane seats.
Bloody uncomfortable, full of padding which makes them bulky and means airway companies cram the buggers close together in order to carry s many people/profit as possible.
I remember watching a TV program where 2 guys re-designed a bunch of things, including bras and airline seats. they used netting instead of foam, and the result was a more comfortable, lighter thinner seat meaning more leg room. but no-one took it on.
their bra design is used commercially today though | |

I’ve never sat down in a bra, sort of hammock I presume, I’ll give it a go when I get home. | |
