I’d make it so that liquid soap dispensers sounded like they were struggling to nut quietly each time you pressed down.

    I’d make every scissor a little bit loose so whatever it’s cutting turns sideways and gets stuck near the end.

        As a kid, I didn’t understand why left-handed scissors were a thing. Then I had to cut a wide strip of fabric with my non-dominant left hand.

        It was an experience.

    Any time you use something powered by a fossil fuel your pinkies ache about as much as a lightly stubbed toe.

    Brain now naturally resists sleep for as long as possible, so everyone stays awake for two or three days before crashing uncontrollably.

    Everyone is ever so slightly telepathic, functionally making a web of felt emotions with no thoughts connecting them so what you feel from this is basically a summary of the people in the area around you.

    Example: Everyone could be focused at work, nothing major going on, until someone thinks about their significant other and all of a sudden there’s a tiny bit of horny thrown in the mix, everyone knows its there, and no one knows who put it there.

    Everyone’s butt hole could be anywhere on their body. Everyone needs a different kind of toilet to properly position themselves. Everyone starts aligning themselves as friends based on the location of their butt hole. “Oh sorry I can’t stay too long. My butthole is in my armpit.”

    At random times whenever you are traveling in any vehicle, you simultaneously feel a sneeze coming on, and yet have to pee a little bit too. However, you can neither sneeze nor pee until you are out of the vehicle.

    Inconvenient on a bus/train or as a passenger, deadly if you’re driving. Bicycles are right out, I suppose.

    From now on, you get static shocked every time you touch anything.

        Someone told me once that slapping something metal and grounded will discharge the energy and not hurt as much (you’re expecting the impact of hitting it, so the electric shock comes with it; this is in contrast to gently brushing something and getting shocked unexpectedly). I’ve found it useful.

      Welcome to Antarctica, friend! The buildings at Scott base are all fitted out with handrails that the occupants use to ground themselves periodically while walking around, because static buildup is such a serious issue down there.

      I’m sure you mean all the heights are a little different, but I’m envisioning where every step has to be taller than the previous one and the shenanery that would happen to make long stair cases navigable. Start with teeny tiny steps to end with uncomfortably large ones.

      That was actually a thing in castle design. There’d be one step just high enough compared to the others that an assassin chasing the king would hopefully stumble on it, and the king could turn around and stab the assassin.

      Don’t bother with steps that are each different — making steps the wrong height/length is enough. If you ever walked up/down stairs that felt really weird it’s probably because the builder ignored the international standards on that topic and built steps that are a couple centimeters off.

    Eyelids become translucent. In other words, you can still see anything and everything when your eyes are closed.
