When I was a kid, there were a bunch of vacuums around from the 60s and 70s that had retractable cords. What happened? I want retractable cords on everything. You just gave it a little tug and and swallowed up the entire cord. I want one on my blender, my stand mixer, and my food processor please.

Dust accumulation. I don’t need AI in everything, I need a gadget that would suck dust particles from the air before they get to settle on every surface at home.
Why insurance companies are allowed to increase premiums if you use the service you pay the premium for.
Tipping at restaurants (USA). Can’t employers simply pay servers a working wage?
Mammograms…. There’s got to be a way to invent a mammogram machine that doesn’t squeeze your breasts in a clamp so tight that you feel you might pass out. It’s like a medieval torture device, surely with all the technology now they could find something less painful.
Successfully cleaning the inside of a windshield. What’s up with that science?
People starving to death.
I’d really like it if google and youtube would stop asking me if I want to sign in. Just let me look up whatever it is and leave me alone! If I wanted to be signed in, I would’ve done it already! All it does is annoy me when they randomly ask while I’m trying to do something.
Do you want to save your password?Yes.Password saved.…trying to sign in…The information entered doesn’t match our records. Please reset password.MADDENING!
Side effects from medication for a condition that are the same as some symptoms of the condition.
Elevators need an option to press a floor button a second time to cancel. And the open and close buttons should be color coded red and green. In the split second it takes for my brain to process the symbols it’s too late to open the door and I look like a prick.
Throwing away so much plastic waste. Why do they make biodegradable dog poop bags but we can’t get food grade biodegradable bags?
Why do cars have carpets inside? I’d much rather have the WeatherTech type material throughout - easier to clean, doesn’t stain or hold smells.Also no fiber transfer, if I’m feeling a little murder-y.
Why do printers so reliably not print?
That pesky cancer thing. Why hasn’t it been cured?
The standard 8-hour workday/5-day work week.
Strong pain meds that don’t make you addicted to them or drowsy. Just like an Advil but very strong.
The freaking chirping sounds that come from household smoke detectors when the batteries are low. You can NEVER figure out which one it is, you may slice open a finger trying to open the battery compartment, and it always starts chirping in the middle of the night. For the love of GOD, why isn’t there a better way!?!?!?!
Menopause. I know technically you can’t solve it, but I can’t believe the medical community hasn’t figured out how to relieve symptoms at least.
Eating. We figured it out for animals… I want kibble for people, designed specifically for my dietary, health, and genetic profile. No more wasting hours and hours a month shopping, planning, cooking, cleaning… it’s tiring. I love a good meal, but 80% of the time I’m just trying to fill up so I can get on with my day. I’d like a pouch on my hip that’s got my daily food and I just toss back a handful of crunchies throughout the day. .
I live in Belgium and the sanitation service only hauls away paper/cardboard once a month. But literally 50% of all food packaging includes cardboard, not to mention any deliveries you get during the month 🫠 I heard someone jokingly say once that 90% of home ownership is just cardboard management, and never before have I felt something so deeply in my soul.
Any random ATM knows everything about my bank account, including my balance and my PIN, but it has no idea if I prefer to speak English or Spanish.
WHY THE FK ARE CHIP/SNACK BAGS SO FG LOUD?????it makes trying to have a midnight snack without waking up the entire house fg impossible. it’s enraging.a special double FK YOU to sun chips! those f*g bags can be heard being opened from space. i don’t know what they make those bags out of, but i swear to god they cause ear damage..
The buildup that happens in lotion/soap pumps of hardened product. You go to use the product and that buildup acts as a stopper until the pressure pushes it loose and also shoots a stream of lotion/shampoo/whatever across the room.
When I select “open in app” and it brings me to the App Store for an app I already have downloaded.
For balding guys, balding. With how many huge medical breakthroughs we’ve had over the decades, how we can’t figure out how to grow hair on a body part that grew hair on its own for 30+ years at one point, seems wrong.

Coffee shops should have a line for people ordering just an actual coffee. Like a hot brewed coffee, nothing to mix or make, no cake pop or warmed up spinach wrap. Drives me nuts waiting in line while the lady in front of me with 3 kids is ordering every complicated 8 dollar flavored sugar drink on the menu.
How about when filling in forms on an order and having to chose a state after filling in the zipcode? Why do we still have to do that?
Unsynchronized traffic lights.
The cause and treatment of my back and neck pain.
#WHY IS HAVING TO FAX INFORMATION STILL A THING!? IT’S JUST EMAIL WITH EXTRA STEPS!!
Not having reliable public transportation.The busses in my city only run until 6 PM. They’ve been dumping millions of dollars in expanding the highways. When honestly a train in between like 4 or 5 cities throughout the entire state would make the entire state accessible to anyone.Iowa BTW. Btw don’t build a train direct to Chicago, we’re all good on that, bad enough as it is here with the b******t they keep sending over here.
School day doesn’t match work day.
Why can’t washers and dryers have a clock in them so they can tell me exactly what time a load will be done? I don’t wanna math when it’s 12:37 and my load will be done in 54 minutes - just let me program the time and then tell me when to come back!!!!
There has to be a better way to package flour.
Noses being so st. They get blocked really easily, sinus infections suck and don’t get me started on allergies. Their job is for breathing, yet they spend so much time not working properly. Then there’s deviated septums, polyps etc. Come on evolution, sort this st out.
Robot maid.We can put people on the moon yet somehow nobody has invented a proper robot maid that can do the majority of domestic tasks.I think that if men had to do the majority of domestic chores then it would have been invented already.Don’t even mention robot vacuum cleaners. They are cp and yes, I have a top of the range one. Still cp.
An easy way or tool for fully cleaning/scrubbing the tub and shower - without all of the bending and stretching, ugh!
Stickers on soft fruit. The stickers never come off easily and half the time i claw off part of the skin.
Going into the car and having to take down your ponytail/claw clip/etc. since the headrest is in the way.
Why doesn’t a car vacuum that easily removes pet hair exist yet?
Mop buckets. We can put a man on the moon, but a smoothly-pushing mop bucket is just too complicated?
Waiting in line at the pharmacy when you just want to pick up a prescription is still way to frustrating.
We all changed to front load washers in the US over the last 20 years and every single time I open the door the whole load of clothing is tangled together in a knot of legs and sleeves. Why are we living like this?
Better packaging for napkins. Once you open them, the rest are just hanging out in the air.
I still can’t believe there’s no solution for the daily inconvenience of accidentally sending a text to the wrong person and then having to awkwardly explain why you’re discussing “secret snack stashes” with your boss instead of your best friend. It’s like the universe is just waiting for the perfect cringe-worthy moment.
Why are there still no perfect socks that never slip off?
