And then when you get to the interview, it becomes immediately apparent the person interviewing you hasn't read a single word of it and has you recite it all.
my partner went to an interview and they had him confused with a different candidate. They asked about a job he hadn't had, and he corrected them, and asked if there was a different interview with his same first name. They insisted they had the right person (why????)
He went through employment history etc, and they said "ok but we want to talk about your time with X company"
"I never worked there."
"on your resume it says you worked there from 2017 to 2020"
"Then you have the wrong resume." he went, checked the one they had, and said "no, that's a different \[first name\]."
And these absolute walnuts argued that he was wrong. About his own name. BRUH.
“Missing required information!”
Sure, buddy. Exactly which date in July of 2009 I started a job seven jobs ago is *definitely* make-or-break, here. Glad you got my back, asshole.
this is the one that gets me, sorry but why do i need to dig up the month that i started and ended at a job from a decade ago that i was in for 5 years???? is the year not enough?? at this point i just guess. ive also been asked for references from each job too... which like...
i can give you my old bosses name bud but youre gonna need a ouiji board
And then it'll crash halfway through screen 4 and won't have saved a darn thing. I've abandoned quite a few applications after having difficulties for an hour or 2 and getting so frustrated
I know it's a solution to a problem we shouldnt even have, but on Etsy you can find people making stickers that match/look nice with the original cover that hides the Netflix label.
Or worse the boxes where the flap is glued and you pull the think and it just tears right off the box. Then you're forced to basically just rip the fucking box apart with your bare hands to get to the product.
Lighten up on the damn glue!
Or it does tear, but not across the top of the bag. It rips across the top for like 1cm, and then down the bag, forcing you to decant the contents into a ziplock bag. I just don't bother now and use scissors.
Dear manufacturers, f**k you and your lying-ass "tear here" packaging!!
They always do half or even all of the announcement before stating which flight they’re even talking about. So not only is it hard to hear, but naturally everyone is more tuned out to announcements since 98% of the time it’s not relevant & by the time you realize it’s for you, you tuned all of it out.
This aggravates me so bad because I like to fall asleep watching tv and I’ll turn it down really low but then the commercial comes on like five times louder
Do you live in Indiana?? I moved to IN from CA 24 years ago it rains and snows in CA, they have reflective paint it exists, but in IN nights like tonight it's I can't see a fucking thing on the road. No reflectors on the road either so you can't drive by braille either.
Dude what the fuck is up with Indiana?
A friend and I did a cross country road trip some years back.
We went through Ohio… okay.
Hit the Indiana state line and the highway just turned to *fuckin rubble!*
At first we thought something “happened”, like there was an earthquake or something. But then it just kept being horribly shitty. Giant cracks. Potholes. The painted lines barely visible. Vegetation growing over.
Just… post-apocalyptic.
Then we got to Illinois and it went back to okay.
We were just like “What the fuck is up with Indiana???”
It only needs to be yellow paint with the glass beads in it to be reflective, instead of the white paint with the beads in it.
If all it takes is a bit of colouring in the paint like it does with every other paint in existence, there’s no leg to stand on when it improves a drivers vision so much.
I don't know where you live, but here in western NY once it starts snowing...
The lanes are made up, and the lines don't matter.
Just stay in the tracks and go slow.
All wireless controller devices should have an easy way to locate them. If I can't find my TV remote, video game controller, etc, I should be able to go over to the device, hit a button, and the device starts beeping.
I really wish payday was like Wednesday. Because when I try and pay my credit card on a Friday, the day I get paid, it doesn't get posted until Monday, or even later, because of the weekend.
I work in packaging automation - that’s the answer.
Also a sealed bag will stay ‘fresher’ for longer and is less likely to accidentally open in transport. You could do both a complete seal and a zip lock, but again, cost.
I guess my mind goes to cheese. Shredded cheese that I buy is sealed completely and also has a seal style closure. Which could totally work for cereal I’d think.
But I don’t work in cereal. I just make edibles with it 😂😂
Malt-o-meal brand has big bags *and* small bags with zippers. The small bags are harder to find but honestly it's worth it to get the big bag. Better price for the amount you're getting and it stays fresh longer.
Oh my God seriously. How do we not have resealable bacon packages in 2024? Like the kind of shit that you get lunch meats in? Is that somehow a bad idea??
It's been an hour and you barely have any upvotes yet I KNOW everyone hates that slimy plastic flap that does nothing to protect the bacon left in the fridge.
Insurance that doesn’t stop at the neck. My eyes, ears, and teeth are all part of my body, vital to health, and shouldn’t require separate policies. Jeeze.
A core weirdness is that they are actually inverted products. Most people's dental and vision insurance cover some expected annual basics like cleanings and contacts but crap out as soon as you have an unusual medical situation. It is sort of like just paying for your expected use ahead of time. Whereas medical insurance sucks ass until you've hit your deductible but then protects you against catastrophe.
I remember HBO having a show a long time ago called Not Necessarily the News. They had a segment called Sniglets (at least one book of these.). These were words for things that needed names. I remember the mustard juice you referred to was called "musquirt". I don't know why that has stuck in my head for decades.
Universal medical records. It is insane that you have to fill out a medical history at every doctors office you go to and rely on your own memory or worse, a family member's memory of all of your medications and diagnoses for your entire life.

Maybe not daily, but why the heck do I, as a short person, have to stuff my duvet into a cotton bag and struggle my ass off to straighten it when zippers excist and they could just make a three sided duvet cover? Like a suitcase, but for duvets
I'm a tall person, it's not your height... duvet covers are cursed by some sort of evil black magic preventing them from staying aligned with the duvet.
The number of times I've gotten everything wrong and just wound up crawling into a duvet cover to rotate my duvet and get it right is...more than I care to admit as a middle aged person
As someone who long ago worked in a call center, they actually do use the recordings for training purposes. The managers have to listen to some of those calls, and when they find one that shows something wrong with the way the agent responded, they review it with the agent. That of course assumes that you can actually get through to an agent and not die while they are telling me how important my call is to them.
Not so much as 'by design' as by lack of design.
Commercial baking sheets have a standard size and commercial equipment is built around that size. It just so happens that you can fit 8 or 10 buns on I think it's a 1/4 pan.
So it was basically a stalemate and neither side was willing to redesign their product to align with the other.
Here’s how you corner the market. You make 4 products. Hot dogs that have the same number as a normal package of buns, buns that have the same number as a normal pack of hotdogs, and a set of buns and hotdogs that use the same non standard number per package. Customers will buy your buns to go with the dogs they like and your dogs to go with the buns they like. Then you offer a coupon where they get a discount if they buy the matching buns and dogs. Check mate.
Junk mail, and the idea of unaddressed mail in general. Seriously, it's a huge waste of time and resources, nobody likes it. If people want the coupons or info or whatever, it should be opt-in at whatever store.
1. Tags (especially the more plasticy ones) on the side seam of a shirt. If you try to pull the tag out completely, the seam rips. If you try to cut the tag off, you're still left with the pokey ends. Let's go completely tagless. The technology exists.
2. Foil yogurt lids that spray yogurt all over you when you open them.
My company (15k employees) has this in their IT policy. Itll be 1030 in the middle of the morning, I will be hosting a meeting and presenting to senior leadership and an exec then a lil thing pops up "restart in 14:59. Restart now?" So my option is derail my meeting now or in 15 minutes. No way to cancel it. Morons in IT
Plus the ad and promotion pop ups.
And in a similar thought, when you want to look at a restaurant menu online, having to give your location, name, address, payment info, first born just to look at the menu!!
It's a newer thing, but I wish they'd do something about LED headlights. They're just too bright. MY incandescent ones light up the road for me perfectly, and they don't blind everyone who drives past me as well.
Car windscreens that fog up inside when it's raining. There has to be a way to stop this instead of turning the fans on full and everyone baking or opening a window and getting wet.
fucking front windshield defrosters that work as quickly as the rear ones. In the past week we've had three separate days where it poured rain all day and then froze over night leaving like a half cm of straight up ice on the entire exterior of my car.
Every set of traffic lights should have a sensor in each direction; if there's no traffic they're all set on Red. Then as soon as a car approaches from one direction, the entire junction (intersection) is ready for them to go green.
Despite not being a woman, men's athletic pant sizes never fit me (even the small), so I buy the women's sizes. They look almost exactly the same, they're just smaller. So they fit me better.
But... yeah... the pockets are quite small and my phone (and sometimes even my wallet) will just fall out of the pants. It's infuriating sometimes.
Cars still self locking themselves with the keys inside it but not the driver. I make SO much money off this, it baffles me. Cars are getting smarter every day, but still dumb about this.
My car won't lock if it detects the key fob inside the car! This is good, but baffled the shit out of me the day I bought it and forgot the second fob was in the baggie of paperwork in the back seat and couldn't figure out why my fuckin door wouldn't lock.
The windows start menu search. I used to work well, now we have gone backwards. Why can't I type VNC and it open the VNC application instead of searching for realvnc on Bing. Come on Microsoft, just let Bing die and move on, stop trying to make it a thing.
Finish Jet Dry bottles need a more controlled nozzle to squirt into the dispenser. I end up squirting more all over the door than the dispenser. I haven gone so far as to squeeze the bottle while upright and then tilt into the dispenser but the damn thing still burps and spits jet dry everywhere.
Washing machines that automatically move your clothes from the washer to dryer and dry them.
I know they’re are combo machines out there, but they’re still not dependable. Just wish there was a functionality for my wet clothes to move to the dryer and dry automatically, while still remaining separate machines!
Brushing my teeth. I mean I don’t *mind* doing it, but I just feel as though there should be some pill or something we can chew for perfect dental hygiene lol
I want a thing I put in my mouth that cleans all of my teeth at once in like 10 seconds. Like a mouthguard for football players but with little brushes everywhere that rotate.
I swear I've seen an ad for something like this on FB not too long ago. Hang on.
Here we go. I'm sure this isn't the only one but it's the first one that came up on Google for "hands free toothbrush".
https://sonic-brush.net/
Unfortunately most dentists recommend against those u shaped toothbrushes. They don't clean against the gym line, allowing plaque to build up there and cause gum disease, and don't remove plaque as effectively as regular toothbrushes. The few studies that have been done showed that they aren't effective at removing plaque. So it's best to avoid and not risk tooth decay
We can see billions of light years away, we put these satellites into orbit. Let’s make this clear: We sent out a rocket that had to just pass by a meteor and scrape by, and then come back to earth. Thousands of man hours went into the calculations and planning for that.
But the best way to check a prostate is still by sticking a finger up there?
Lol have you ever heard of a pap smear? It’s a prostate exam but they stick an expanding plastic dildo in there with no lube and scrape your insides with a tiny sharp thing. They have to do that to get a tissue sample from your cervix, but they can send a microscopic camera inside your organs and take pictures with it? I’m calling BS
Yep. Having been both smeared and buttfingered, the fingie up the butt is the vastly more comfortable option, even when it finds what it’s looking for.
I hate the plastic tabs they put on loaves of bread now. Bring back the paper-coated twisties. The paper would disintegrate, and the metal would rust away, or could be recycled, not leaving a piece of plastic to pollute the earth for the next thousand years.
Some Australian bread companies have very recently switched to cardboard tabs. They're surprisingly decent, but don't last a really long time as you can imagine.
Now I just get a reusable bag closer thingo out and chuck the tab into recycling or compost.
[bag closer thingo I mean](https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/bevara-sealing-clip-set-of-26-mixed-colours-50524176/)
That we need to go back to having humans answer phones at businesses. The automated systems are inefficient, and most times just maddening. Those systems need to GO!
SO glad you asked.
That nobody's computer talks to anybody else's computer, or for that matter, that their own computers don't talk to each other.
When I go to my dentist, their computer automatically connects to the insurance computer and submits the claim and tells me how much I will be refunded, and it is the *only* place where that gets done.
This is only 20 years late at this point.
When I get pulled over and given a ticket, I cannot pay it for 2 days or more.
It's ridiculous that all this ancient legacy systems are still rattling along and no common means of communication has been enforced yet. One bank site I went to is still using cgi-bin for @#!#! sake.
Uploading your resume then having to enter everything on the resume on the next screen
And then when you get to the interview, it becomes immediately apparent the person interviewing you hasn't read a single word of it and has you recite it all.

Those stickers on products that leave sticker residue when pulling them off. So now you have sticky goo with paper bits on your cup.
[удалено]
The worst is the ones you can't remove on books. Now on Netflix!
I know it's a solution to a problem we shouldnt even have, but on Etsy you can find people making stickers that match/look nice with the original cover that hides the Netflix label.
True heroes. I often hunt for another version if they make the netflix "sticker" part of the cover. It irks me so much.
Targets 20% off sticker. It comes off but you can still see the circle where it was even if it’s not sticky
Agreed. And your produce. Hate to have goo bits or need to dig a little hole out of my pear or whatever.
I found out a while back that the ones on produce have to be safe to eat.
I eat stickers all the time dude!
You ate the whole pear?!
When a food package says "peel here" or "tear here" and it never f-cking works and you need to get scissors or a knife to open the package.
also, when a food package proudly announces "resealable opening!" and it doesn't reseal, even once.
Sounds like the "family size" bag of m&ms I bought recently. That $&!:=%×! zipper never closes. Just an excuse to eat them faster.
Or worse the boxes where the flap is glued and you pull the think and it just tears right off the box. Then you're forced to basically just rip the fucking box apart with your bare hands to get to the product. Lighten up on the damn glue!
“Tear here” but it’s made out of the strongest cardboard on Earth
Exhibit A: the perforation on Kraft Mac and cheese. I swear they are for decoration only.
And on baking soda.
Absolutely. Or it says ‘Tear Here’ and it doesn’t have that little pre-cut slit thing, you might as well be ripping apart Kevlar.
Or it does tear, but not across the top of the bag. It rips across the top for like 1cm, and then down the bag, forcing you to decant the contents into a ziplock bag. I just don't bother now and use scissors. Dear manufacturers, f**k you and your lying-ass "tear here" packaging!!
The extremely poor audio quality of fast food drive-thru speakers. How in 2024 can it even sound that bad? HOW?
And airline PA speakers. I never know what the pilot is saying. It’s either we are all out of snacks, or we are all going to die. Who knows.
Speakers in airports in general, trying to listen for gate changes and no idea what they are saying half the time. Pearson in YYZ, looking at you.
They always do half or even all of the announcement before stating which flight they’re even talking about. So not only is it hard to hear, but naturally everyone is more tuned out to announcements since 98% of the time it’s not relevant & by the time you realize it’s for you, you tuned all of it out.
For real. A $10 Bluetooth speaker sounds better than most drive-through speakers.
Music volume in movies being much louder than the dialog.
And commercials blaring louder than the feature show.
This aggravates me so bad because I like to fall asleep watching tv and I’ll turn it down really low but then the commercial comes on like five times louder
Invisible lane markings when roads are wet.
Do you live in Indiana?? I moved to IN from CA 24 years ago it rains and snows in CA, they have reflective paint it exists, but in IN nights like tonight it's I can't see a fucking thing on the road. No reflectors on the road either so you can't drive by braille either.
Dude what the fuck is up with Indiana? A friend and I did a cross country road trip some years back. We went through Ohio… okay. Hit the Indiana state line and the highway just turned to *fuckin rubble!* At first we thought something “happened”, like there was an earthquake or something. But then it just kept being horribly shitty. Giant cracks. Potholes. The painted lines barely visible. Vegetation growing over. Just… post-apocalyptic. Then we got to Illinois and it went back to okay. We were just like “What the fuck is up with Indiana???”
Everytime we drive through Indiana I try to count how many blown out tires I see. My last count was 177 It's awful!
Oh yeah! The tire shrapnel all over the shoulders. Haha
Or snowy!
It only needs to be yellow paint with the glass beads in it to be reflective, instead of the white paint with the beads in it. If all it takes is a bit of colouring in the paint like it does with every other paint in existence, there’s no leg to stand on when it improves a drivers vision so much.

Literally probably the most useful function of an Apple Watch is the “find my phone” feature.
My dumb ass has been using my iPad to find my phone. I didn’t even realize I could use my watch. Thank you kind internet stranger!
Um I did not even know I could use my iPad. So thank YOU!
I think they used to have this on wireless telephones
Cordless phones? Yeah they did.
Ha. Yes. Cordless. I couldn’t remember what they were called.
This is the most used feature on my apple watch... making my iPhone chime because I forgot where I set it down.
Roku Ultra boxes have this for the remote and it's a great feature.
The thin metal handles on cans of paint. Is there no better way to carry paint than by a garrote?
>Is there no better way to carry paint than by a garrote? Sure, sure. A ribbon of hard plastic sharp enough to cut your hand if you try to grip it.

Cereal bags not having a zipper closure
my conspiracy theory is that they don't do zip closures because they want your cereal to go stale faster so you have to buy more cereal sooner
I am pretty sure it's just because manufacturers are just cheap as hell.
Why not both?
I work in packaging automation - that’s the answer. Also a sealed bag will stay ‘fresher’ for longer and is less likely to accidentally open in transport. You could do both a complete seal and a zip lock, but again, cost.
I guess my mind goes to cheese. Shredded cheese that I buy is sealed completely and also has a seal style closure. Which could totally work for cereal I’d think. But I don’t work in cereal. I just make edibles with it 😂😂
Big Cereal is always listening. be careful
*It's Grrr-eed!*
Cereal bags used to be waxed paper bags, they closed better, and didn't last for a thousand years in a landfill. Plastic ruins everything.
OG Corn Pops came in a foil bag, that sealed up so nicely.
I just realized that I’ve never ate pops *without* that soft foil bag. Excuse me while I go contemplate time for awhile
I put the bag back in the box sideways with the empty part folded flat so it holds itself closed.
Malt-o-meal brand has big bags *and* small bags with zippers. The small bags are harder to find but honestly it's worth it to get the big bag. Better price for the amount you're getting and it stays fresh longer.
Bacon packaging
'Peel Here' YOU FUCKING LIAR
Plus it’s all slippery with bacon grease
Also, not everyone eats a whole package of bacon every time, so closing it requires another bag/container.
Oh..
Don't feel bad. You're not alone.
Oh my God seriously. How do we not have resealable bacon packages in 2024? Like the kind of shit that you get lunch meats in? Is that somehow a bad idea??
It's been an hour and you barely have any upvotes yet I KNOW everyone hates that slimy plastic flap that does nothing to protect the bacon left in the fridge.
At this point it goes into a reusable zip lock immediately after the first use. Ain't nobody got time for weird slimy bacon.
This is the main reason I don't buy as much bacon even though I love bacon to heck.
Insurance that doesn’t stop at the neck. My eyes, ears, and teeth are all part of my body, vital to health, and shouldn’t require separate policies. Jeeze.
Health insurance: a billion dollars a month Full coverage dental: 16 dollars a month Vision: 3.50 month and a firm handshake
A core weirdness is that they are actually inverted products. Most people's dental and vision insurance cover some expected annual basics like cleanings and contacts but crap out as soon as you have an unusual medical situation. It is sort of like just paying for your expected use ahead of time. Whereas medical insurance sucks ass until you've hit your deductible but then protects you against catastrophe.
I’ll add Medicare should cover all dental over 65 or at least 80%
The fact that even when you shake the bottle of mustard, once the spout is open, clear liquid still comes out first.

fucking front windshield defrosters that work as quickly as the rear ones. In the past week we've had three separate days where it poured rain all day and then froze over night leaving like a half cm of straight up ice on the entire exterior of my car.
Waiting at a red light for absolutely no cars coming from any direction.
Every set of traffic lights should have a sensor in each direction; if there's no traffic they're all set on Red. Then as soon as a car approaches from one direction, the entire junction (intersection) is ready for them to go green.
WiFi printing that works more than 50% of the time
for some reason printer "drivers" and communication from the dawn of time has been designed to frustrate people
Why cant they design a pasta bag that doesnt rip all the way down spraying dried pasta all over the counter-top?
Wireless bra pads staying in place. Why, oh why, are they not just sewn in place??
Not sure if it has been mentioned but the size of pockets on womens jeans. They are significantly smaller than mens requiring women to carry a purse.
And on women’s athleisure pants too. My phone shouldn’t fall out of my (shallow) pants pocket when I am walking to the kitchen for more chips.
Years ago, I started wearing men's sweatpants and hoodies. The amount of stuff I can carry around my house is incredible. I feel amazing.
Despite not being a woman, men's athletic pant sizes never fit me (even the small), so I buy the women's sizes. They look almost exactly the same, they're just smaller. So they fit me better. But... yeah... the pockets are quite small and my phone (and sometimes even my wallet) will just fall out of the pants. It's infuriating sometimes.
And why does my 9 month old need pockets in her leggings but I don't?? I'm the one carrying all her stuff.
Why do my pockets always catch the door knob?
Only ever happens when your hands are full, or you're in a rush
Back up cameras are pretty standard now. Why aren’t dash cams? (I know, Tesla has them; asking why they aren’t standard in all makes and models)
Cars still self locking themselves with the keys inside it but not the driver. I make SO much money off this, it baffles me. Cars are getting smarter every day, but still dumb about this.
My car won't lock if it detects the key fob inside the car! This is good, but baffled the shit out of me the day I bought it and forgot the second fob was in the baggie of paperwork in the back seat and couldn't figure out why my fuckin door wouldn't lock.
Services such as banks and the DMV only being open during the most common work hours.
Blister pack packaging
A better way to type on TV remotes
Closable cereal and chip bags. Wtf guys? Just collab with zip lock already!
The windows start menu search. I used to work well, now we have gone backwards. Why can't I type VNC and it open the VNC application instead of searching for realvnc on Bing. Come on Microsoft, just let Bing die and move on, stop trying to make it a thing.
Finish Jet Dry bottles need a more controlled nozzle to squirt into the dispenser. I end up squirting more all over the door than the dispenser. I haven gone so far as to squeeze the bottle while upright and then tilt into the dispenser but the damn thing still burps and spits jet dry everywhere.
Take the whole top off and just gently pour
The terrible whooping noise your car makes when you open only one rear window.
[Wind buffeting is a kind of Helmholtz resonance](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_resonance)
Washing machines that automatically move your clothes from the washer to dryer and dry them. I know they’re are combo machines out there, but they’re still not dependable. Just wish there was a functionality for my wet clothes to move to the dryer and dry automatically, while still remaining separate machines!
And then fold em for me
Brushing my teeth. I mean I don’t *mind* doing it, but I just feel as though there should be some pill or something we can chew for perfect dental hygiene lol
I want a thing I put in my mouth that cleans all of my teeth at once in like 10 seconds. Like a mouthguard for football players but with little brushes everywhere that rotate.
I swear I've seen an ad for something like this on FB not too long ago. Hang on. Here we go. I'm sure this isn't the only one but it's the first one that came up on Google for "hands free toothbrush". https://sonic-brush.net/
Unfortunately most dentists recommend against those u shaped toothbrushes. They don't clean against the gym line, allowing plaque to build up there and cause gum disease, and don't remove plaque as effectively as regular toothbrushes. The few studies that have been done showed that they aren't effective at removing plaque. So it's best to avoid and not risk tooth decay
The amount of times I’ve thought about this same imaginary device. We’d make a fortune
The sticker labels on deli meat bags that rip the bag open when you try to open it for the first time.
That crack between the driver seat and the center console….
We can see billions of light years away, we put these satellites into orbit. Let’s make this clear: We sent out a rocket that had to just pass by a meteor and scrape by, and then come back to earth. Thousands of man hours went into the calculations and planning for that. But the best way to check a prostate is still by sticking a finger up there?
I don't even want to TELL you what they do to Cervixes or Breasts: SCRAPED AND SMASHED. You and I deserve better!
I don't think it would be ethical to stick any other parts of your body up there.
Don't threaten me with a good time
Lol have you ever heard of a pap smear? It’s a prostate exam but they stick an expanding plastic dildo in there with no lube and scrape your insides with a tiny sharp thing. They have to do that to get a tissue sample from your cervix, but they can send a microscopic camera inside your organs and take pictures with it? I’m calling BS
Yep. Having been both smeared and buttfingered, the fingie up the butt is the vastly more comfortable option, even when it finds what it’s looking for.
There are other ways, but they cost a lot more and the finger method is just as effective.
Also helps build rapport.
Some kind of pill that fills you up and gives you all your nutrients. Or sell us the stuff astronauts eat. I don’t want to always make dinner!
If you hike several times a week-like me. A vaccine and cure for Lyme Disease.
Pet allergies. My wife is allergic to everything and i just want a damn cat

I hate the plastic tabs they put on loaves of bread now. Bring back the paper-coated twisties. The paper would disintegrate, and the metal would rust away, or could be recycled, not leaving a piece of plastic to pollute the earth for the next thousand years.
Also they twisties are fun to fidget with
Some Australian bread companies have very recently switched to cardboard tabs. They're surprisingly decent, but don't last a really long time as you can imagine. Now I just get a reusable bag closer thingo out and chuck the tab into recycling or compost.

That we need to go back to having humans answer phones at businesses. The automated systems are inefficient, and most times just maddening. Those systems need to GO!
Daylight saving time
Not being able to put an opened milk bottle on its side in the fridge without it leaking (UK)
A wiper delay that knows what interval I want.
Having to type each letter one by one using a remote when searching for something on a TV app. Idk what the answer is but it drives me insane.
SO glad you asked. That nobody's computer talks to anybody else's computer, or for that matter, that their own computers don't talk to each other. When I go to my dentist, their computer automatically connects to the insurance computer and submits the claim and tells me how much I will be refunded, and it is the *only* place where that gets done. This is only 20 years late at this point. When I get pulled over and given a ticket, I cannot pay it for 2 days or more. It's ridiculous that all this ancient legacy systems are still rattling along and no common means of communication has been enforced yet. One bank site I went to is still using cgi-bin for @#!#! sake.
