Help with Design Thinking

Obvious one is those utterly ridiculous 59 button remote controls that are thankfully being phased out via the likes of firesicks/Alexa et al.

Used to be trendy to have a million buttons on your ‘stereo’...I personally loved them but often requires a manual to use them.

Also as noted with my mother, those remote controls are terrible design. She often gets lost using them.

you should explain to her they aren't supposed to be a sat nav

Thankyou everyone, I'm shocked I only got one typical bluemoon response albeit the wanking sock could do with upgrading, I could definitely work with the tin can idea, the plaster is also a very good observation, absolute nightmare. Thanks everyone anymore would be a great help.

Jugs that don't pour properly. Toasters that toast unevenly.

I wondered if anyone had ever thought of doing something about people. They can be a bit of a nightmare. If I had to put my finger on it I'd say they were very prone to being full of shit. And rude!

Tossers.

Any meat product in those cellophane packets with a supposed corner that you lift to open that most of the time just snap off.

Marmite and Bovril jar lids that weld themselves to the jar once opened.

USB slots. I’m pretty sure I try to put the cable in the wrong way up about 95% of the time.

If you can find out how to make an iPhone charging cable that doesn’t stop working properly within six weeks then you'll be a billionaire

Heard the one about the inventor’s funeral...they initially placed his coffin in the hole upside down.

I figured it out: there’s a line in the middle of the USB plug...this bit always faces down (well, 99% of the time).
You’re welcome.

This really grates on me, surely its possible for it to go in either way, like the iPhone charger.
