These are my (old and need replacing) trainers. Bought for work and were cheap because I needed them for work. Didn’t realise until after I bought them, that the little grooves accumulate stones every day and once a week I have to sit there with a knife prising them all out

DEFINITELY toilet stalls with a central toilet. Obviously designed by men.

Why are washing machines and dishwashers so ugly? I suppose if you care about it you have to buy integrated. But I actually quite like the look of some machinery, just not plastic shite washing machines. If they were industrial and cool looking I'd forgo the fake cupboard.

I cannot open Bonne Maman compote jars. My hands are just too small.

Oestrogen patches that leave a thick black square on your hip so you end up looking like a badly franked parcel.

Car seat belts. Never used one that doesn't strangle me.

There’s a toilet at my work where the tap literally runs for a second before switching off. You have to either let one hand wash itself or continuously switch on the tap to wash your hands. It’s a pain in the arse

I bought a new washing machine and there doesn't seem to be any way to get the powder drawer out to clean it!

Heinz food cans. Arguably the premium brand and they don’t fucking stack! All the cheap brands/supermarkets’ own manage it 🤬

Yes! What is it about cans not stacking anymore?

Not the first time I've said this but bloody shower cubicle/screens with loads of fiddly crevices right at the bottom that are impossible to keep clean if you have hard water. Obviously designed by someone who has never had to clean a shower
