i’m talking about those little things that just grind your gears. like, why do shoelaces exist when we could have instant foot-enveloping technology? or why is the ‘reply all’ button always so tempting? i just had to battle a blister pack for like five minutes for ONE tiny pill. there has to be a better way. what’s your pick for the most infuriatingly simple problem that needs to just… disappear?

Blister packs aren’t a problem, they save lives. In a moment of weakness it’s easy to grab a handful of pills from a bottle. Often by the time a few pills are removed from a blister pack the desire to continue diminishes. Pain in the ass? Sure. Problem? Nope.
Daylight Saving
Can somebody please stop this account from posting?
It’s not minor, but commuting. If every job that could be done from home was always done from home, those people would save 100% of their commuting time. They would also leave room so the ones that have to commute can go faster (in case of road) or enjoy more space (in case of rail).
DRM
In keeping things in the spirit of petty problems, there has got to be a better way to remove hair than dragging a razor over ones skin or having the hair ripped out with wax. But I’m too dumb to realize the solution.
