"How Do We Not Have A Better Invention For It By Now?": People Are Sharing Specific Annoying Things That Still Exist Today But Reallyyy Shouldn't
"Typing in your username, password, or credit card info one single letter at a time using a four-arrow pad on your TV remote."
I think we can all agree that there are specific things that still somehow exist today but really shouldn't with how far society has come. For example, maybe it's those annoying "convenience fees" that we are sometimes charged when paying a bill online or the fact that some places ask for you to fax (!) paperwork over.
Well, I found a Reddit thread that discussed just that when u/jacky_jessie asked "What is something that shouldn't exist in 2022 but still does?" The responses have me nodding my head in agreement. Here are some of them.
Note: Some responses have been edited for length and clarity.
1. "Cans that you need a can opener for. Just have a pull tab."
2. "Scam callers on my cell phone. I don't even answer calls that are from numbers not in my phonebook anymore — I wait for a text or voicemail. It blows my mind that enough people still fall for them and that it's a profitable business."
3. "Bedbug infestations. Why hasn’t science developed a 'roach motel-like trap' that’s effective against these critters?"
4. "Women’s clothing with fake pockets."
5. "The little gap between public bathroom stall doors. I don’t need to make eye contact with someone taking a shit."
6. "People who write checks at any retail store."
"Specifically the people who wait for the total to be rung up and then begin to take out the checkbook, or dig for a pen."
