I just attempted to open a tin of tomato soup with one of those ring-pull lids. The ring broke. A tin opener would not work at all, so I took to stabbing the top of the can....it suddenly gave way and OH MY WORD...I have never been so covered in tomato soup!!! It was ALL over me and up my cream walls!! I laughed almost to tears at the devastation in the kitchen which had taken a matter of seconds to create.
Have any of you come across BAD designs that you could do without!!!??
Corn beef tins
mad :x :x i now buy the pre sliced in plastic wrapping

Anything in that f**king annoying hard plastic shrink wrapping that you have to literally destroy, whilst getting your fingers ripped apart, just to get your purchase out.
Old style glass 'bang on the bottom' tomato ketchup bottles compared to the upside down squeezy ones now a days with a 'stay clean cap'
I'd never go back now! wink
Little metal teapots in cafes that spill the tea all over the table.
Little plastic milk pots with peel off lids that won't peel off.

Cheese graters evil
Or cheese, cos you can't grate the end of it and keep fingers/nails on the end of your hands :evil:
Choosing to keep spare loo rolls in the airing cupboard was a bad design idea, wouldn't be so awkward if the airing cupboard wasn't across the landing confused
Passport application forms - who the bluddy ell thought up that design blink
Handbag dogs, wtf is that all about :?
Ohh.. and child proof lighters. What's the point in those?
Isn't it just best to ensure they don't get a lighter in the first place?! lol
Ladies' wee-wee parts - men get a hose, we get a sprinkler system - what use is that at a campsite?

Missy, I am about to revolutionise your life! You need one of these....

(Crap pic though)
You can pick them up for a couple of quid in asda. It's a non slip based "tupperware" type container, onto which fits one of grating tops- coarse or fine. If you grate too much, there's a lid for the container too!
And the best bit......no grated knuckles! :bounce:
Daft as it sounds, I love my grater loon
Resealable bags of chocolates.
WHY?????????

Orange juice cartons - impossible to do 'the first pour' without it going everywhere.
Weetabix - try getting the first one out of the long wrapper without getting crumbs everywhere!!

you need the 'Shewee' Cherry ... its just like being a man (especially the peeing in the shower bit!)
Undo trousers. Push underwear to one side. Place Shewee securely against body with outlet pipe directed away from body.
Aim urine to a suitable place – away from feet, into a toilet or a container.
When finished, pull funnel away, wipe- liquid repellent coating ensures no drips.
Place reusable Shewee back into resealable container.
Tip! Practise with Shewee in the shower to find the best position for you.
Shewee is washable by hand or machine and can withstand temperatures up to 120°C.
On leaving the body, urine is sterile.
