Things you wish existed?

[Cellocecilia]

AIBU to think these items/things must exist? And if not what things do you wish existed? (You never know a fellow MNer might know how to get hold of it and reply)

a device that standardizes TV volume, currently sat here watching love island whilst DD naps on me, the volume of 90% of the program is barely audible but the intro music every time it’s back from a break could wake the dead. Not helping keeping DD asleep! Same happens on other programs, talking is quiet but gun shots, someone’s phone ringing is so loud.

A baby monitor that you can program to know your child’s cries/noises, for example DD has started being very vocal in her sleep, mainly talking to herself self settling, but due to it being loud noise the monitor goes off. I’d like to be able to record her sounds and program a monitor to know ‘x sound is fine don’t alert’ ‘y noise is crying, alert me’

Baby mittens that stay the fuck on their hands

Dishwasher cupboards.You put your dishes away press a button and dishes are cleaned in situ without having to unpack the dishwasher and put away. I know some people have two dishwashers but for two of us that would be silly.

All power wheelchairs to have remote controls

Power wheelchairs that are self folding and light enough for me ( am not strong) to lift and pop in back of the car. They do exist but are still very heavy.

Power sofa that lifts up like the hospital beds so people can adjust to the required height. DH prefers a sofa rather than the lifter chairs because they look terrible and the dog needs to be accommodated she prefers to be snuggled in next to DH ( at 29KG) she does need the space and DH loves sitting with her.

Snoopystick- thank you so much!!

@grafittiartist shift plus f2 in word shifts the case of hilighted text

A money tree!

Hi, You’re welcome - it may be f2 like someone else has put but it’s one of them. I sometimes get sent pdf reports that are in upper case - if need to use the information in a report I’m writing it makes it so much easier to copy and paste the information into word and then be able to change into lower case 🙂

@Snoopystick it is F3.

The thing I want is a device that sucks all the dust out of the house so I don’t need to dust or vac!

Access to trustworthy, high quality advice when, as an adult, you just don't know where to turn for help.
A bit like citizens advice, but actually

1. can be accessed
2. is correct
3. shows you trustworthy places to go if outside their area of expertise

@SadBut there's plenty of advice but you have to pay for it. Failing that, there's MNet.

A Lidl goblin that you can hire to pack your shopping, then unpack it in your house. I would be willing to pay. Unpacking the big shop is the absolute worst. I hate it.

I belive it does if you shop on amazon fresh. Which btw is not much more than asda, often same price but the quality was good actually. Large eggs are actually laaaarge

A shower cubicle that also dries you off. And applies body lotion pr self tanning lotion as required.

I want this too. Especially for deliveries. Imagine orders from Amazon etc appearing instantly on your transporter pad. Brilliant

Ah thanks, sadly Fresh isn’t available here yet, but hopefully soon.

Something so that I can get all the crap out of my nose without constantly blowing. (It's a tad sore after a week of constantly blowing it)

A handbag with a light in it so you can actually find the thing you’re looking for.

They exist and have done so for years.

Adequate customer service from utilities, telecom suppliers and parcel carriers.

A chat bot identical to me to listen to my mother. "Oh really" "how sad" "uh huh" "what did the Dr say".

😂😂😂😂 I need one of those for my sister.

Filters that work in real life!

Wine without calories..,

Diet pill that works overnight.,

Cher’s wardrobe from Clueless!

Something which gets the mould out of the grouting in my shower without destroying the environment and endless scrubbing. I have a cupboard full of 'miracle' sprays which in reality range from 'sort of OK if you use half a bottle and don't look too closely' to 'nah - can't be arsed'

some sort of medical intervention that means no need to use the loo ever again. for men to start giving birth and having periods. an invisibility cloak.

A way to rewind time.
A pause button.
A way of switching off periods once family complete.
Hoverboards or motorised broomsticks

Calorie-free delicious food!

A machine a bit like a spray tan machine that you can put your kids through and it suncreams them up for the day. They’d just have to take their clothes off, close their eyes and walk through it.

Ooh yes, I would take a pill for this. I'm 51 and my natural colour is pure white.
I would also love a time machine - I have some terrible regrets that keep me up at night 😥
