As you can all see from my list I've been working on for two weeks maybe more this is actually quite difficult because our brains tell us we have invented everything that we possibly can, add into the fact i cant really leave the house. The poll is literally just something i can use to explain how i got to my decision, don't take it too serious if you can vote Boris in I'm sure you can vote my tin can.

(Not meant to sound like im spitting my dummy out at the responses honestly im not :) )
 
if tins were more cupboard shaped it'd definitely save space.. but how would you open them? The tins i mean, not the cupboards
How come Heinz and dog food manufacturers can afford ring pull tins but no fucker else can?

Square tins with a rounded corner would be optimum.
 
Since posting the 'plasters' rant i've thought of another, and getting this one right could be worth a few quid.
Charging and USB cables for phones/tablets/pretty much everything.

Who has ever put the ends (connectors) into the socket the right way up at the first attempt? Nobody i'd guess. Same with usb to plug chargers.
Surely a re-design where it is possible to feel which way is 'up' rather than trying to force it in before squinting at the connector and/or device to see which way around it should be.
This one has also already been sorted (as mentioned in the previous thread) by USB-C cables/ports, that can go in either way round
 
And whilst I'm in ranting mood - how the fuck am I supposed to clean the little plastic cover that sits on the head of my electric toothbrush?

I've tried getting my little finger in there, shoving bog roll in it like you do when you're trying to get purchase on a stubborn bogey, leaving it to soak in boiling water, the dishwasher - the lot.

The fucker will not clean. I'd like to not use it but fear brushing my teeth with shit particles after the pack of wild animals I call my children have used the bathroom.

So I put it back over my toothbrush and my day starts on a negative note each morning because I'm placing a manky cap over my toothbrush knowing that tomorrow, I'll be shoving it around my gob.
