I've actually got one, and it's that many browsers seemingly don't allow you to right click a link to save it as a bookmark. And there's no way of viewing them in a preview selection like those a start pages.
Which leads me on to the second idea. Very often, when right click bookmarking a link from a list or search leaves you with a string of bookmarks the titles of which are anonymous looking addresses.
I think this is because of the way links are named in lists. The page is a reference to the originating list or search. But the browser should be able us a little bit of logic to recognise you've ended up with multiple similar titles, query the target, and name them according to the unique bit in each address or html metadata from the actual item page, rather than the entry on the list.
This stuff drives me nuts when shopping on line. Comparing dozens of items and several vendors is very, very hard work. It's the same thing when browsing end of year music, book or film lists.
I mean, maybe it's a vendor issue. They might rather redesign so that bookmarking any link to a product will have the item name and theirs, pop out at you. I have to think that would be more likely to lead to more visits to the pages, and sales.
Ach. The web is full of stupid stuff like this. It's generally shooting fish in a barrel. It's just this one seemed like it might actually interest the business owners.

Just giving this thread a lift back up to the top hoping there might be a few more ideas of design flaws in products or services that really piss you off, that I can work with....

What's the book called mate? I'm guessing this is a subject you are interested in?They’ll be lots....most things can be improved upon.
I’ve received a nice design thinking book for Christmas as it happens.
Design Thinking Playbook...not sure if that’s what you’re after but it comes highly recommended.What's the book called mate? I'm guessing this is a subject you are interested in?
just to add (and I’ve literally just experienced this) those useless reseals used in the likes of pasta. Useless (those seal clips you buy are a good example however).
Much packaging is generally unnecessary but marketing forces abs all that...

Duvet covers you can put on

You turn the duvet cover inside out, grab the duvet itself by the corners of said duvet cover and flick the whole damm thing like a big whip ( basically ) The duvet cover turns itself the right way and covers the duvet all in one.....job done, takes seconds.Duvet covers you can put on
Not just the plastic, it's the twisted wire and the cable ties they use to attach the toy to the cardboard packing. The cable ties are that bloody tight that you can't get a knife or scissors into them to cut them. The last time I opened a Barbie doll I sawed her fucking leg off!Oh the books not closed yet mate, and I shall start with the self cleaning wanking sock someone had mentioned earlier, my tutor Miss pomfret is going to be all over that one I can definitely expand on the the standard wanking sock, no mither.. Oh and I've had a fair few scraps today with indestructible plastic that comes with childrens toys ha ha
How about doing something about light bulbs. Need a science degree to understand the different fittings, Es, Ses, bayonet etc. There should be one standard size and design.
