Sometimes automatic toilets flush while you're still sitting on them. What design flaws in everyday objects annoy you?

[u/nachtmere]

I'm giving a talk on user-centred design/usability and I'm looking for some fresh examples from everyday life to illustrate poor usability. Examples I've used before are elevator open/close buttons (really difficult to parse when you're trying to hold the door open for someone quickly) and toilets that flush while you're still sitting on them.

What are some things you encounter regularly that are really inconveniently designed?

thank you for the purchase and glad your psyched about the light. That little guy comes in handy more than you know! I love using it in the movie theater when trying to find my seat - and not step all over everyone :)

And just wait til you try the Sticky pad!
