What needs to be invented that hasn’t been yet?

[O6bftdff]

We need car radio that we can pause. There was a quiz on the radio earlier and I waited ages for the answer but eventually had to go to a meeting. I wish I could pause it and start where I’d turned the engine off. Same as a rewind for when you start the car at the end of a song you love.

What else needs to be invented?

A much better pension system that the current mess.

Why can't we get a pension 'account' at the same time as we get our NI cards. Then every employer pays into it and when we retire there it is. So it belongs to you and there's no confusion chasing round trying to remember all the different pensions with different employers. No employer has a scheme they just pay into your account. (I realise it needs more though than this like who would run it and invest it etc)

A printer that works

A human being that answers the phone at virgin media and actually can help

A Talk to type function on mumsnet. I hate typing on the phone.

Ah, now you are asking for the impossible...............

Better functioning men

Oh I would love a shower with soapy water!
I can't see why it hasn't been invented to be honest; we have this in some workplaces with cleaning products.

A way for doctors/ nurses to be able to feel exactly what your pain in , something like a mannequin that somehow can feel your pain and translate it into 'doctor language '

@TooTiredToType77 I hear you on the sports bras - these Freya ones are brilliant. Great support for high impact sports and fasten like a normal bra! The only ones like it that I have found in many years of looking.

I had an in depth conversation with the nurse/operator about this at my last appointment. She said a new machine had been invented by women, but that it still squished your boobs!

A tiny hoover to suck the air out of sealable sandwich bags to keep crackers crispy.

(Eagerly awaiting someone to come on, say that does exist you numpty and provide a convenient link 😁)

A quicker way to search for things on Netflix and You Tube rather than spelling it out letter by letter (unless there already is and I am missing it!).

Hear hear to that!

There's one already.

Stuff to stop your hair growing, you'd be so rich.

This is a great idea! They must have it already in the USA somewhere. They could limit it to 15 items for speed.

Laundry hanging racks that don't tangle and get all hooked on each other!

Absolutely hate this, and it happens every time one laundry rack so much as touches another one!

Genuinely feminist men.

They would be an absolute nightmare to furnish.

I lived in a non square house and it was almost impossible to find furniture that both fitted and looked good in any of the spaces.

This would be amazing. It's almost impossible to travel at certain times of the year with the dogs. My bladder isn't the best and leaving them alone in a hot car would be deadly

I've found describing the type of pain and comparing it helps

So I'll say it's like someone is twisting my ovary or it feels like my stomach is going to burst open

When they say on a scale of 1-10 I'll say well breaking my ankle was a 4, this is a 9

Something that just reabsorbs urine back into the body harmlessly.

Going for a pee is such a chore sometimes. Queueing for public loos, bursting for the loo at inconvenient times.

And even in my own house, i just sometimes cannot be bothered going to the loo. Like now. I am bursting.

Oh and night waking for a pee. What a nuisance

An annoying alarm that sounds off every 30 seconds if someone has been sitting on the toilet for more than 10 minutes;I'd say every 5 minutes but if you've got a dodgy stomach that day you need longer.

This!

There's a small but faithful number of users around the world.

Held every year- and there are lots of smaller ones as well as family holiday events.

Squeezy bottles of mayonnaise that actually work effectively.
