I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

It should be illegal to scan or redeem your lotto tickets before 9am. Some people are just trying to get to work, but nooope, gotta wait behind the superstitious lady who only wants every second scratch&win with a serial number that ends in 2 or some crap.
Pleather or faux leather or whatever they call it. You have about a year or two before it starts rubbing off on everything you own. Sometimes you don’t even realise you’re buying it. I wish it didn’t exist.
Bringing your bicycle into public transportation. Ride your fucking bicycle or leave it at home. Nobody cares if you’re too lazy for that steep bit on your way to work or if you don’t want to walk the last bit from the station. You’re using up unnecessary much space, gtfo.
Counterpoint: sometimes your start and destination are too far apart for cycling.
Counter-counterpoint, in such cases it’d make sense to arrange for a second bike or a bike share near your destination.
Postman must knock and wait 5 minutes for you to answer the door by law. If you have proof that they didn’t knock or wait the required time they must redeliver the parcel by way of barbershop quartet at a time that is convenient for you.
Changing products and pulling products of the market.
Launch a new flavor of chips? Cool, but you’ll have to keep selling it until the end of time.
Want to change the flavor? Fine, sell it under a new name and also keep selling the old flavor.
Sirens and emergency vehicle noise in songs or advertising on radio.
I’m not advocating for capital punishment, I’m just saying that if we lynch a couple of daytime pop radio hosts for siren-like noises then it will probably go away pretty quickly.
The other day I had a song come on Spotify in which a part of the beat sounded like the cars warning beep. But it was not the right speed to be door or seat belt alarm, so I figured it had to be some else like tire pressure or engine warning… Mother fucker was part of a song and kept me looking for warning lamps blinking for a good minute or so.
I feel that lost minute in my soul my brother in suffering.
I want to throw in doorbells with this (but only as a misdemeanor)
I use Pluto.tv for background noise at night. Amazon is now running some ‘Prime Deal Days’ ads and one of them has a very prominent doorbell sound that wakes my ass up everytime.
Other drivers. :)
We can just extend it to one more, make an exception for specific stuff like if someone is moving or for industrial stuff.
Also, sadly the people in the countryside need those stupid death machines, so it only applies in cuties.

touch-sensitive controls in vehicles need to be outright illegal. All controls, regardless of how esoteric, should be operable by feel.
I have a Citroen Berlingo and everything except the Android Auto stuff is operated by buttons. What cars don’t use buttons? And for what features?
Teslas and cars that are trying to copy Tesla (Mustang Mach-E for example.)
My dad’s Toyota Avalon has a touch screen for the infotainment center, and the climate controls are a touch-sensitive panel rather than mechanical switches. Which means if you go to wipe dust off the dashboard, you fuck up the air conditioner settings. I don’t know what’s worse, all the touch controls, or all the chrome on the dashboard scientifically aligned to glint sunlight into your eyes.
scientifically aligned to glint sunlight into your eyes.
Speaking of, the trend of absolutely blinding headlights should be outlawed. It’s especially bad for those of us who drive tiny sedans and live in the US, where seemingly every other car on the road is a lifted F350 with the headlights pointed straight at eye/side mirror/rearview mirror level. There have been more than a few times where a car coming towards me or sitting on the other side of an intersection at a red light has blinded me to the point where I literally can’t see anything else. Recently at a stop sign, I couldn’t tell if the truck across from me was about to go or not, and I was needing to turn left. They are SO fucking dangerous. And yet, cops will pu people over for having shit hanging from the rearview mirror, or for a big enough crack in a windshield?? We have our priorities so fucked up.
Also that type of reflective tint on back windows that makes the sun go straight into your eyes when driving behind someone who has it. Wtf is that and why. I had no idea that regular window tint needed to be “improved” / re-engineered.
Literally every EV
My car is a EV so not every. So your saying Teslas don’t have buttons for example?
Tesla is the worst offender.
Also, every car should use standardized bays for things like the stereo. Like, seriously, why can’t I upgrade my car stereo anymore?
Also on stoves. “Oh, you wanna turn off a burner? Sorry, your fingers are too wet. Also, I hope you remembered to read the 300 page manual because we’ve never even heard of intuitive controls”
The controls on my stove are those weird flat buttons you’d see on a lot of late 90’s appliances? Like they don’t “press” at all but they do respond to pressure so I could preheat my oven with the end of a spoon or something. Those are superior to capacitive touch controls.
Well apparently some company had to try this on the vehicles 🤣
People who pull out of parking lots onto roads without stopping. Pedestrian deaths are on a steep incline and this recent behavior is absurdly impatient and unsafe.
If I were a traffic cop, I would go fucking nuclear on this shit. I would exaggerate the fuck out of those tickets. I’d aim for you to never have a driver’s license again.
Same with people who don’t properly use passing lanes, and same for people who tailgate.
All of you are fucking ridiculous, and I hope you lose your privilege to drive an automobile over something small so it makes you as irrationally angry as your behaviors make me.
Just to add, you should never have less than 1 full car length per 10mph you’re traveling between you and the car in front of you. Generally it should be like, double that.
You encountered karen recently?
While I agree with your point, OP specified “silly inconvenient stuff”. I think behavior that can result in serious injury or death is a little bit outside the scope of the question.
Just to add, you should never have less than 1 full car length per 10mph you’re traveling between you and the car in front of you. Generally it should be like, double that.
Yes, but also if you are in the left lane on a highway it’s also your responsibility to get out of said lane if someone is becoming closer than this behind you.
No, it is your responsibility to get out of the passing lane once you have safely passed the traffic you are passing, provided the left lane is a passing lane. It is not a passing lane when there is a left exit ahead.
The driver behind you should never have any bearing on the decisions you make as a driver unless they’ve got flashing lights.
If you are passing a miles worth of traffic and someone behind you wants to pass that mile of traffic faster, move over temporarily to allow that person to pass rather than making them slow down to keep an appropriate distance.
Nope. And if you begin to tailgate, then I will make sure to increase my safety by slowing down to a safer speed.
You sound like an unsafe driver.
What you are suggesting is actually illegal in many states. If you’re being overtaken while in the passing lane you are required to make way. People like you are why they had to make such laws. Quit fucking up traffic for everybody.
Didn’t say anything about tailgating. You sounds like an entitled driver.
Yes you did you illiterate dolt:
Yes, but also if you are in the left lane on a highway it’s also your responsibility to get out of said lane if someone is becoming closer than this behind you.
Again, it sounds like you’re an unsafe driver. You might see my driving as entitled but I’m certain most would see it as normal and law abiding.
Cheers. Maybe read a book.
Can you please clarify what you mean? I just want a better understanding of what driving conditions we’re talking about. Are these parking lots where it’s like a strip mall with one row of parking spots directly in front of the building and you back directly into a road, or are we talking about people gunning it going forward without looking?
Yeah, sure. Like, someone finished fueling up, and they are driving toward the gas station’s exit into the road which the gas station lives on.
As they approach the exit, they realize that if they dont stop, they can beat the incoming traffic, so they high tail it out of the gas station to beat the incoming cars without stopping.
You are required by law to stop before entering a motorway to ensure entry is safe. People are skipping the stop and making a judgement call as they approach the place the law requires them to stop, and are instead treating it like it’s a highway on ramp/yield.
This has been the cause of a fuck ton of pedestrian injury and death (especially since ~2010 when Obama kinda by mistake made huge heavy cars the most appealing option for automakers when he was trying to force automakers to make more fuel efficient cars [thanks, Obama!]), as these impatient fucks are generally looking at the road and not the sidewalk.
Doesnt have to be a gas station. Any similar circumstance.
Yeah I’ve seen people do that and it’s terrifying. In the strip mall case tho I was gonna argue for better civil engineering and fewer blind spots in vehicles when backing. But nope you’re definitely talking about pure driving like you own the entire planet.
treating it like it’s a highway on ramp/yield.
Good analogy!

Stop signs. Turn them all into yield signs
Done right a stop sign tells you that the yield sign was not enough and that you have to be careful.
Yes, 1-2% of American stop signs should stay.
Using stop signs by default is the traffic planning equivalent of “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!” There are other ways to make junctions safer.
Scissors in packaging you need scissors to open.
Public trash cans right next to public benches.
I don’t want to sit next to a smelly trash can! Why do they do this?
Where would people take trash then? Home with them? Most people would just drop it on the beach.
I feel the exact opposite of you: more trash cans in public spaces.
Just put the trash cans a couple meters away from the bench.
Where would people take trash then? Home with them?
Afaik that’s the norm in Japan.
Why do people throw trash on the ground if a trash can is out of reach?
It would be less awful to have the trash strewn about the area as litter, than to have it all collected and plopped right next to the people.
URB can’t come soon enough imo
How is UBI linked to trash?
