Silly little things to make life better...

In Aldi, when they sell two varieties in one box for the flavour split to reflect what people actually buy, not 50/50. So you don't get half a box left of the flavour nobody wants and they won't fill the shelf until people have bought what's there. Which they won't do, because all that is left is the flavour that nobody wants.

It is quite useful to be able to extend parking time from your phone when you are e.g. sat waiting to see the GP who is running late.

Nescafe concentrate espresso, 60ml instead of suggested 30ml if you're brave, 8-10 drops of MyProtein Vanilla or Toffee Flavouring (sugar free, so delicious) 30ml skimmed milk, 270ml water with ice. Had it this morning. It was lovely.

YY to M&S putting the large shoes on the top shelf and the small ones on the bottom shelf. Not so long ago, I helped a 5' ish woman get some little shoes off the top shelf and then had to cram my 5'8 long legs down in the little gap between the shelves and the seat to get some size 41 shoes off the bottom shelf.

Also YES! to sorting out the size 7/8 40/41/42 mess and a single parking app or preferably just use contactless and ban 'convenience fees' for paying by card which is a fucking cheek because they don't need to go round and collect all the money and risk having it stolen. The worst parking apps have a load of hidden fees preselected then you wonder why it says on the board your parking should cost £3.40 but when the charge is shown it's £4.80. Because they've decided you not only want to pay for parking, but for a text to tell you about your parking, the option to extend your parking time and a reminder when you parking is coming to an end

That packaging you get when you buy cooked meats etc - you’re supposed to pull back one corner and the top peels away easily. It never does - I end up with a plastic corner in my hand and the seal still firmly closed. Could we sort that please?

Have you checked your fob to see if theres a boot button there? Don't wish to patronise but its exactly the sort of thing I'd miss!

See also misogyny. Every time a male breathes out of line someone rushes to MN to call them out on being misogynistic.

iced coffee makes the world better! (Home made)

Multi packs of crisps to all taste the same, hate it when you eat one bag and it's so tasty you go for a 2nd pack and it's not so fresh tasting.
They should also contain a little mousetrap so when I'm being a greedy cow it snaps on my fingers when I dive in for a third pack.
My local pizza place makes square pizzas to fit in the square boxes, that should be universal.
Websites need to get rid of the annoying 44 thingy when you type your phone number in, I can never remember which numbers I need to leave off.
A universal password requirement, X numbers/ special characters/ capitals etc. Fed up of having to alter my usual passwords and then forgetting them instantly.
A car sound system that lowers the volume when you're at a junction, I live by a crossroads and fed up of having my ears assaulted by really loud music which isn't my taste.
I love a good moan 😅

Even better get a car which has a sensor under the back which you wiggle your foot at and the boot opens.

ALL spray to be 5cm shorter so they fit in my cupboard.

No. Zero apps for parking. Just a machine that accepts contactless payment as well as notes and coins, and gives change.

I am one (barista) and there is a temperature where the milk scalds, so many people al for extra hot, not knowing it ruins the coffee. Drives me bonkers. 😝

You can ask for this!

Can we PLEASE lose the effing cookies!

I would say the same about the words sexism, ageism and Women's rights being eroded, being thrown around all the time on Mumsnet. Makes me absolutely insane.

Just the small things....

I would like one socket/plug type across Europe. I would also like a unified laptop/phone charger. I have so many stupid cables.

All food cans to be properly stackable. Eg. Soup and baked beans, so they don't fall out of the cupboard and break your toes. Tesco manage to do this, why can't Heinz.
All houses having their name / number on the gatepost if they have a drive so that anyone visiting or delivering can easily find the correct property, it would help emergency services too.
Food items being a standard height so they fit on the shelf that I placed at a height that worked at the time I had the kitchen fitted.

DH used to buy these in bulk off Amazon before the supermarkets here started stocking them (around 15 years ago probably)

Preach!

Being able to open windows in an office, also a Premier Inn, a hospital, basically anywhere you have to spend more than half an hour. These days they all seem to be nailed shut. Why, for the love of God?

Standard sizing for clothes across all retailers. I dont eant to have to try on or online order 3 different sizes each time.
And stop adding length to trousers legs. Im an average height and never had to take trousers up. Now they are so long im starting to buy short size.
.....unless im actually shrinking 🤔

What type of duvet clips do you use that don't pierce the duvets?

I once worked somewhere where we got paid every four weeks on a Friday, the first pay day was a bit of a shock (13 pay days) but once I got used to it the regular pattern was great.

My newer model has a shark fin and I can't add a bobble. I don't want anything that might damage the paintwork. It seems an impossible task. My car is incredibly common, and black. I spend so long looking for it in car parks.
I always take a photo of things nearby as a reference in huge car parparks!!

I try to hard-boil my eggs most of the time, but sometimes, if I'm out and about and I need a bit of sustenance I will buy some hard-boiled eggs. I think they should come with a little packet of salt attached to the side of them.
And pepper!
