“They Brought Pure Evil On This Earth”: 50 Everyday Inconveniences That Still Haven’t Been Solved

Can we also please fix the completely black scene where you can’t see anything going on and you wonder if you’re going blind or if it’s just the show that you’re watching.

... or commercial!

That’s definitely still available

It’s still available. Just doesn’t really work.

A VERY huge problem. (mumble mumble, MUSIC, mumble mumble, COMMERCIAL, mumble mumble). It's enough to make you want to forego movies and TV altogether.

And after you go through the entire phone tree and select what you want, it just takes you back to the beginning.

Sometimes pressing zero takes you right to the operator and sometimes saying operator or representative will do it. Get Human dot com might work too.

So true!

Are you willing to start paying $20 for that $3.99 item you buy at walmart to support it? Kind of like everyone's complaint about smaller plane seats. Nobody seems to be willing to pay first class prices though..

Yup!

insidious... so probably correct. I'm sooo sad now.

Ikr? 😡

Or use too much force and coffee comes flying out to cover the whole bloody kitchen.

We are lucky to get coffee open without a blow torch!

When peel here has no where to peel 😕

*cough* *cough* Mini Pringles *cough* *couch*

You people are just too lazy to put in the effort.

Or Spam (which is yuck to me but my husband loves it). Not too hard to get open, but getting the damned cube of meat to come out of the can is a real pain in the a**e.

I’m already sensitive to glare. I’ve green eyes, which ophthalmologists tell me are the most sensitive, and mild cataracts, glare is excruciating. I had a damp windshield (melting light frost) and when I had to turn towards the sun one morning recently, I was so blinded that I had to stop my car dead and put on my blinkers and almost got hit because it’s a major road. When I drive home, dark or even dusk, those d**ned lights have much the same effect. I once, at a red light, had to face one of those compensating pickup trucks. He had A BANK OF THESE LIGHTS. FOUR ON EACH SIDE, so 8 total. My eyes didn’t work properly for hours!

Get them back: switch out your car horn for a foghorn.

🤣😁🤣😁🤣

I know! You flash your brights thinking they have theirs on and then they show you their actual brights and it looks like the heavens exploding out of their car and you're just like oh....wow.

I switched to them because you have to remove the bumper to replace the headlights. Stupid, also live in deer country.

We now have retina-burning spotlights in this area that are set up on businesses and are on 24/7. The things look like lighthouse lamps. One of them is on the roof of a business halfway down a hill so when you come over the hill, it catches you right in the eye. Another business has two of them on their roof. And there's a homeowner here who has THREE of them on the outside of her house. Are they aimed at her house? Oh, hell, no. They're aimed out at her yard so when you drive by, you get blinded in triplicate. One night I'm going to go over with a hammer and smash all of them.

In UK apparently teeth and eyes are a "nice to have"

Dental, vision and hearing aids are all seperate packages in the U.S; you have to buy different insurance from a different company for each of them. If you have really good coverage through your job, it might come with vision and dental bundled in, but they're still completely separate insurance plans.

mehhh we still have to pay extra for glasses or some teeth treatments in Germany

Stay politically aware. Right wingers will try to change that if you give them even a tenth of a chance.

As a freelancer in Germany, my health insurance now costs me €700 a month and I’m never ill! It was handy for maternity coverage though.

I have to have seperaye dental and vision insuranve because its not covered by my medical inurance. Usa

Full covering only for private insurance. Statutory health insurance by default covers teeth only partly.

Tell that to the right wing doofuses here in the US who think many of us shouldn't even have access to any health care, let alone affordable health care.

..not to mention your insane tax rates and repressive government.

You are not legitimately asking, you're bragging.

Generally in the U.S., your eyes and teeth (and sometimes, your mental condition) are not covered under standard insurance. You have to buy dental and vision insurance seperately.

Hmmmm. How long do you have to wait for an appointment for a non-emergent issue? Just asking . . .

American health insurance is stupid. Just assume everything like this is Americans being stupid. (Speaking as an American)

Welcome to the USA system then, it sucks d**k. Wish I was in germany

In Spain, "universal" health doesn't pay for glasses, the dentist or hearing aids. The dentist in the Social Security (the health system) only extracts teeth if it's an emergency. Full stop. Anything else, cavities, endodontics, whatever, you need to go to a private dentist and pay full price.

In America it's cheaper to die than to get medical care.

Yes, other countries have managed to avoid , for profit insurance companies.

Short version is that American "Healthcare" is pay to play.

Nope, Canada, thanks.

Be thankful you're not American. It's insane over here.
