I’ll kick us off. Sun visors in cars.

We’ve been driving 125ish years, how the fuck have we not yet perfected keeping the sun out of my eyes?

1) Why is there always a gap between the visor and either the A-pillar or rear view mirror? Because the fucking sun always finds that gap.

2) Pretty much every country in the world has twisty roads, which means continually flipping my visor front to right and that is a colossal nuisance.

3) How many car drivers actually need a grab handle above the driver’s door? Why can’t we have two full width sun visors front and right?

Aaaarrrrggghhhhhhh!!! 😡

How have we not perfected this yet?

Probably done a runner with your indicators

Indicators? Think I've heard the word, but not sure what it means.

Why do I need to keep putting anir into my tyres?….and why does the tread wear down?

Surely there’s something better than rubber filled with wind?

Why are car engines designed to be so difficult to work on?

Apart from checking the fluid levels there's very little an owner can do in terms of repair or maintenance without needing detailed knowledge, an inspection pit and an extensive set of tools.

£400+ to get a garage to change the timing belt? It's a joke.

I remember seeing on Tomorrows World but more likely something later in the 80s or 90s, a French (I think) invention that sent a small electrical charge across a windscreen that evaporated raindrops on contact with the glass thus negating the need for windscreen wipers.

I presume that the tech at the time wasnt perfect or the inventor was bought off/killed by 'Big Wiper'.

Wouldn't work as it would still need something to clear dirt and other residue.

Resurrecting this thread to ask:

How the fuck have we not perfected urinals yet? They must have been around for at least a hundred years, maybe even twice that, and yet the level of splashback is far too high.

We all know every blokes’ toilets has piss all over the floor around every urinal. It’s bad enough when you get a little bit of your own on you, but when the disgusting cunt next to you is firing his stream at maximum capacity and getting you as well? That’s the day ruined and I’m almost prepared to run into traffic to end it all.

How the fuck have we not perfected urinals?!

Not as much of a joke as having the timing belt break.
