I am sure we have all come across examples of things that annoy us through bad design that make them irritating or impractical. And we think, well, didn’t they test them? Or what did they think would happen?
Some examples:
- those stainless steel teapots that always dribble
- beef burgers that have to be held by a skewer so you can’t possibly pick them up
- corned beef cans. Why does this one product have a key, leaving a surface that can literally lascerate you?
- most ‘childproof’ things that lead me to fill the swear box trying to open them
- Liege Guillemins station, which looks magnificent but is a horrible wind tunnel, even worse in the rain, so everyone has to cram downstairs until the train comes.
Have you got any suggestions?
