Minor everyday inconveniences plague us all. We've put a man on the Moon and managed to do surgery on a grape, yet we still can't figure out how to make dialogues in movies louder than the background music? And don't even get me started on TV remotes. Why don't they have the "Find Me" function built in?

One Redditor probably had some similar gripes with everyday small things. They decided to ask other netizens "What's a small, everyday inconvenience that you believe should have been solved by now?" People had many qualms, from poor audio quality in drive-thrus to the never-ending mystery of bacon packaging.

Bored Panda also briefly chatted with the Redditor who asked this question. Check out our conversation with u/kabkar1234 below!

The author of this thread told Bored Panda that a common daily inconvenience prompted them to ask other Redditors what they find annoying. "My wife and I started talking about finding [the] remote all the time," u/kabkar1234 says. "[We] got talking about how small things like these are still [un]resolved with all the advancement in the world. I thought of asking the public."

The Redditor says that they found lots of answers relatable. Some of them included automated customer care asking to repeat information when a live person comes, why we still don't have zip lock bags for cereal, universal medical records, and, of course, finding the remote. The user says these are probably pretty universal things, "an inconvenience for many."

    So, let's delve into some of these problems, shall we? First, the issue of background music being louder than the voices on TV. According to PBS, it's not your TV's fault. Usually, there is a problem with the production of the television show or movie.

    They do have some tips on how you can try to solve the problem and lessen the irritation. "Try switching from stereo to mono whenever there is such a problem, or switch off the 'surround sound' or 'enhanced' feature on your television."

    Other people in the thread expressed similar exasperation with their TVs when certain scenes seemed too dark. Remember people's reactions to that GoT The Long Night episode? Well, the cinematographer of the show cleared himself of all guilt when he told Wired UK that it's not the show, it's your TV settings.

    "A lot of the problem is that a lot of people don't know how to tune their TVs properly," cinematographer Fabian Wagner explained. "A lot of people also unfortunately watch it on small iPads, which in no way can do justice to a show like that anyway."

    The Verge's TV expert Chris Welch said there are several more factors why a show might be too dark on your TV. Specifically for GoT, it might have been HBO's compression of the episode. The network may have chosen a lower bitrate "to help smooth over the streaming process for millions of viewers with varying connection speeds."

    Then there are the more simple reasons like the brightness and picture mode settings on your TV. The way your room is lit up can influence the viewing experience, too. If there are nearby lighting sources on the screen, they might reflect on the screen and make it harder to focus.

    Another minor problem that people seemed to agree with was how almost every website nowadays annoys us with their "Accept Cookies'' pop-ups. What's even more infuriating is that experts say these pop-ups, meant to simplify data protection, actually just make people's lives harder.

    "Cookie consent banners are a joke," co-founder and CEO at software development firm PrivacyCloud Sergio Maldonado told Wired UK. "Rather than helping people protect their future choices, cookie consent requirements are extremely annoying and often run counter to accessibility guidelines on mobile devices, making life harder for people with all sorts of disabilities."

    So, what can you do to make your life a little bit easier? There are browser extensions that automatically fill in your preferences when a popup appears. Some of the more well-known include Consent-O-Matic, Consent Manager, and NinjaCookie. The latter two automatically decline all cookies by default. 

    The most popular extension is ‘I don't care about cookies,’ and it differs from the others in that it only gets rid of the cookies. The other three extensions mentioned take extra measures to ensure privacy by not collecting user data. The "I don't care about cookies" creators presume that "users protect themselves by using other tools, extensions, and browser settings."

    “They Brought Pure Evil On This Earth”: 50 Everyday Inconveniences That Still Haven’t Been Solved American here - every year I get so mad about taxes. Not the fact that I have to pay them (though I do wish our government had different priorities, but I digress), but the whole process of it is f$&@ing imbecilic. The government knows how much I owe, why don’t they just take out the correct amount automatically. Noooo instead it’s either I give the government an interest free loan, owe more money (which always feels bad), pay an agency to file my own taxes, and then if I get it wrong they tell me SO THEY KNEW THE AMOUNT THE WHOLE TIME.
    I feel a tirade coming on, I need to walk away.

    Like, stop the period cramps and discharge until you're ready to have a baby. Isolate the egg, let that pass through if need be. Or allow all the uterine lining to come out in one swift motion. There has to be *something* that doesn't completely screw up your psyche, and helps with PMS.

    Or something better than tampons, which can give you TSS within at least 8 hours.

    I hate the plastic tabs they put on loaves of bread now. Bring back the paper-coated twisties. The paper would disintegrate, and the metal would rust away, or could be recycled, not leaving a piece of plastic to pollute the earth for the next thousand years.

    If you take something out of its original box, decide you don't want it after all then can't get it back into the box the same way. Such BS.

    You know when you pull on your seatbelt so you can put it on but you tug slightly too hard so it locks up and then you have to feed it back slowly and gently retry and do that 3-5 times just to get your seatbelt on?

    F*****G THAT.

    Cars that have nowhere for a woman to put her purse. I once had a Lexus, and my favorite thing about it was that there was a space in between the front seats where you could put your purse. I haven’t seen it on any other car. You can your purse in the passenger seat if it’s empty, but if you have a passenger you either have to put it in the back seat, balance it on the gearshift in the center, or put it at your passenger’s feet. None of those options are that great.

    We can see billions of light years away, we put these satellites into orbit. Let’s make this clear: We sent out a rocket that had to just pass by a meteor and scrape by, and then come back to earth. Thousands of man hours went into the calculations and planning for that.

    Traffic congestion. On the whole, we are all driving the same routes every day. Like, it’s not a whole bunch of first-time drivers out there every day. We know where we need to stop, when we need to merge, where the blind curve is, where the school zone is, you name it. And yet, somehow, we end up waiting at the red light for three cycles before we can clear the intersection.

    SO glad you asked.

    That nobody's computer talks to anybody else's computer, or for that matter, that their own computers don't talk to each other.

    When I go to my dentist, their computer automatically connects to the insurance computer and submits the claim and tells me how much I will be refunded, and it is the *only* place where that gets done.

    This is only 20 years late at this point.

    When I get pulled over and given a ticket, I cannot pay it for 2 days or more.

    It's ridiculous that all this ancient legacy systems are still rattling along and no common means of communication has been enforced yet. One bank site I went to is still using cgi-bin for @#!#! sake.

    Washing machines that automatically move your clothes from the washer to dryer and dry them.

    I know they’re are combo machines out there, but they’re still not dependable. Just wish there was a functionality for my wet clothes to move to the dryer and dry automatically, while still remaining separate machines!

    Finish Jet Dry bottles need a more controlled nozzle to squirt into the dispenser. I end up squirting more all over the door than the dispenser. I haven gone so far as to squeeze the bottle while upright and then tilt into the dispenser but the damn thing still burps and spits jet dry everywhere.

    Jury Duty. We don't all need to gather in a big room. The court can record the trial. It can add and strike things from the record before I ever see it. It can edit out mistakes to avoid mistrials. Attorneys can produce defenses and prosecutions at any time and submit them for inclusion. I can watch the trial at a time that doesn't conflict with the rest of my life. I can send the court back my verdict in a reasonable time frame.
