I promise this not meant in some incle/preteen boy kind of way, but I truly hate women have to wear bras. I understand large-breasted women it is probably out of necessity. But those that don't "have to", but are still required to, due to societal norms, it seems ridiculous. I promise if men had to wear them, the standards, the designs, the prices, etc would all be significantly different! I truly feel for you ladies! (absolutely no pun intended!)

Well, Dane, at least here nobody HAS to wear bras. I've several friends with small boobs and they don't always wear bras - but when they do, it's because despite small sizes, it feels more comfortable for them. And I'm not even talking about me and the big-breasted friend I have, who simply can't walk around without sweaty underboobs or the boobs flopping around when you walk a little faster. It's not *just* social norm. In some cases, it's simply comfort. Why not just treat bras like socks? You can wear them, you can wear big ones or small ones or none and nobody cares. It's just a piece of clothing!

THIS is just my opinion - no hate please. Personally I don't like? to see someones nipples showing through their shirt. It should not bother me - but it does (slightly) BOTH men and women. This is one reason I think men used to wear undershirts ( many still do). And for a woman in a professional setting, nipples WILL give the men the wrong idea.

Every woman needs to get fitted by a professional bra fitted. Most larger department stores have them. And no, not VS. Nordstrom's, Von Mauer. A good shop and a professional fitter will make sure you're in a good fitting bra. Straps falling off your shoulders is because the bra is too big around. Also, you must care for your bras properly. Don't just throw into the washer and never in the dryer.

“I Swear Nobody Tested That Product”: 30 Products That Were Made By Someone Who Never Uses Them So many baby products!

Baby gates - I don't want a baby gate that requires two hands to open, because one arm is busy *holding the baby*. Ideally there would be one with a foot operated lock/unlock mechanism, so I can hold the baby and (luxury!) up to one other thing as well. Baby wipes that stick together when you pull them out of the container, so you end up with a long damp string of wipes that you can't pull apart because the other hand is busy holding the squirming baby legs up off of the pile of diaper contents.

Strollers that require two hands to collapse, and assume that all parents possess the grip strength of a silverback gorilla. I want to be able to open and close that thing with one hand, people. One hand!

If you've found hacks to get around these issues that's great - my point is they shouldn't be issues in the first place. For the amount of money you pay for baby products, they should be designed in such a way that a parent *holding a baby* can actually use them.

WHEELCHAIRS. A friend of mine got a wheelchair recently and it’s quite hard to use on any terrain that’s not like smooth linoleum. There’s no mud guards (so mud that gets on the wheels will get on you) but there are arm rests that make it hard to reach the wheels, and the back of the chair goes up too far and limits upper body mobility. Unless you have a ton of money to shell out on a custom made chair, most basic ones on Amazon were clearly made with the assumption in mind that the wheelchair user will have someone else pushing them.

On most 'inexpensive' wheelchairs, the arms just slot in, so are removeable if you're not being pushed.

Whenever I get a different brand I just punch a hole in the same spot out of habit. It’s about exactly as hard to do as with the Kraft ones. So they might as well take out the perforating step and save .001¢/box in the production process.

I swear, my kitchen was designed by a 6 foot 3 man who has never spent an hour in a kitchen in his life.

It’s not functional. I can’t reach anything. All if the cupboards are in each other’s way, and when you unload the dishwasher you have to put everything on the counter and close the dishwasher so that you can then get to the cupboards to put the dishes away.

The whole layout sucks and someday im going to demolish it and put in a new kitchen.

I already had a design in mind when I had my kitchen done some years back. Their designer came up with an attractive but functionally useless design. The key things I needed were to lift the oven up so I didn't have to bend. To add more storage, not more worktop. To make use of wasted corner space by moving the utility hole one place to the left. To get rid of the dusty cupboard tops by putting lockers on top that go to the ceiling. The two good things they came up with were the contrasting glass doors to go against the wood and the steps that slide under the plinth board.

GOOGLE MAPS NAVIGATION.

F*****g thing reroutes me AUTOMATICALLY and then zooms all the way in to hide the evidence that it is no longer using the route I specifically told it to. Sometimes I don't realize until I've already missed the turn I thought it was going to remind me to take.

I set the route back, and within 5 minutes it reverts it again.

It especially likes to tell me to take a $10 toll road to save 15 minutes (and spend 30c/gal more on gas in the process). i swear the toll roads are paying google for traffic.

No f*****g way that anyone on that team actually uses the product (navigation mode).
