Are there any common household items or products that you think are designed incredibly poorly? (sh.itjust.works)

For example, I'm incredibly confused about how you're supposedly to measure liquid laundry detergent with the cap. At least the kind that I have sits on it's side, so if you measure it with the cap it just leaks everywhere and makes a mess.

Or at my parents house they have a bag of captain crunch berries that has a new design, where instead of zipping along the top of the bag like normal, it has a zipper in the front slightly beneath the top. That way when you poor it you can't see what you're doing cuz the bag is in the way. Like what the heck who's idea was that?

Why exactly do you even care?

I own women clothes (as a male), my wife owns many men clothes. We dress however we like, we don't care for labels or what gender is put on there. If I'd feel like wearing a pink hello-kitty-dress, I'd do so. And we're genX and gender-boring. I would even care less if I'd identify as something else than my pants contents tell me.

Why do you give a crap about how some store genders something? Pick what you prefer from wherever? Seriously asking, not mocking or anything.
