I recently needed to replace the batteries in our weighing scales and when I went to remove the battery compartment found that it had a clip off back but this was also reinforced by a microscopic screw, one that only one of those microscopic screwdrivers that come in a Christmas cracker would have any chance of removing. Luckily I have a set in the drawer, but I couldn't get any purchase on the screw so it wouldn't come out. OH said that'll we'll have to buy a new set of scales. I managed to get if off literally by savaging it open with a knife, thankfully though the back was damaged the clip still held it in place, so why put a stupid little screw in? I've experienced this stupidity in the past!
Whilst we're on the subject of badly thought out design, another bugbear is the fridge jug. I wanted one to keep my cartons of orange juice fresher for longer, and thought they'd be easier to pour from too as I only buy the cheapest stuff as I use it to make smoothies more than anything, not only that I thought it would be nice to make a batch of smoothies to keep in the jug. I bought a couple of slimline glass fridge jugs for the purpose, they have half handles so they don't take up extra space inside the fridge door. They have a lid with a gap that you line up so you can pour without taking the lid off, great stuff until I saw that when you turn the gap away from the spout, there's still a gap, so it isn't airtight, so pretty pointless. Surely they could've incorporated some kind of notch which meant that it closed properly!!!!
The Tupperware style ones are airtight but most of them have huge handles at the side with makes them take up too much room in the fridge door, This is so unnecessary when a cut off handle that sits higher than fridge door shelf would solve that problem completely!
Finally, for now, what's the blinking point of a wallet without a compartment for change? Yes, we all know fellas tend to throw their loose change onto a plate or into a jar, but when they've got the change in hand why should anyone have to put it in their pocket, sometimes people need a coin. I had the devil's own work trying to find oh a decent new wallet with a zip compartment. Rant over for now!!!!
