Is it beyond the wit of humanity (note, not "man") to...(lighthearted thread)

To make shampoo and conditioner bottles different- not just for old people, but for anyone who wears reading glasses.

I agree with most of these especially the cover under the plastic milk bottle cap AND some other containers too.
I’d also like online recipes to give instant comparisons of electric/gas temperatures and what a ‘cup’ is in grams or ounces without having to google it.

To standardize the positioning and clarity of 'best before' dates on store cupboard foods. On the rare occasion that I have a sort out it takes forever to find and read the dates, especially on jars.

Oh yes that milk bottle thing is a pain.

To be able to remove the plastic cover thingy under the screw cap of a milk bottle (plastic ) without the tab detaching & having to resort to a knife.

I agree with all of these, I’ll add Avon shower gels, they are so hard to open, and my son and DH always close theme so I almost fall over in the shower trying to get them open again

Oh, I so agree about cat tablets. My cat will eat everything in his dish and leave the tablet, plonk, in the middle of the bowl, untouched! (Use drops now.) But is it so difficult to make a tablet taste of fish ...?

And cookers - fridges - freezers ... I always swear that they must be designed by a man. (Bit sexist ... ? ) So many corners and bits that you just cannot get in to clean properly, Drives me nuts!

And film lids on ready-meals! "Lift the film lid, stir, and replace in microwave." Well, mine's in shreds by the time I've battled to 'lift it'. Grrr! (Luckily, I don't have many 'Ready Meals'.)

annodomini and bindweed!

know they have to be childproof
Doodle; No problem! Give me a child, they generally have arthritis-free wrists, and I will give you a fool-proof child-proof-bottle-top opener.

To find tights that fit?

To find a really effective weedkiller for horsetail?

To make a really silent washing machine that doesn’t dance round the kitchen when spinning towels.

All good and valid points, but not every gripe needs to be age related!

Ring pulls on food tins should be able to actually be pulled by someone other than Samson!

The important information on food like expiry dates should be bigger.

Open biscuits with a sharp knife, like slicing bread.
All new products should be tested by old people before being marketed. We will soon be the majority yet so many things are difficult for us to use. Like my cordless Bosch vacuum.

And biscuits....Doodle I really like the first six in a packet to be crushed to smithereens as I tear at the top wondering which piece of wrapping will rip first.

My late (lovely) FIL used to call anything hard to open a "Geriatric Pack". I still use the term as I swear under my breath whilst breaking biscuits and anything else crush-able which is impossible to open.

Or a box of Lidl own brand washing liqui tabs (or whatever you call them!)

To make bottles that you can get the tops off. Yes I know they have to be childproof but have you tried opening a bottle of Harpic? ?
