Hey guys and girls, I'd like to know, what comes to your mind when you think of badly engineered products/stuff?
I do not mean "useless" products (like some weird japanese stuff), but products that can't be used in the way they are intended for because of some less or more stupid flaws.
We were asked that today at university. Spontaneously, I and many others didn't remember much, although I know there have been many times when I said to myself... why the hell did somebody design it that way?
I have just one example. In the onboard repair set of my car, there is a lifting jack. But its handle is that close to the ground, that you barely can crank it without knocking your knuckles into the pavement every single revolution... Who the fuck thought of that???
If you can think of something, please let me know and maybe show a picture, if available, where we can see the problem.
