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.
touch-sensitive controls in vehicles need to be outright illegal. All controls, regardless of how esoteric, should be operable by feel.
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”
Displaying any price other than the final price I have to pay inclusive of all fees and charges. I don’t care about a number that has some mathematical relationship to what’s going to come out of my bank account, just tell me the price. This always annoys me so much when I travel to the US but it’s probably like that in a few other places too.
Billboards. Get them out of here! Everyone gets to put their name on the side of the building in at most 2m tall black or white Time New Roman.
There is so much unnecessary advertising in my country. Billboards, commercials on a screen at fuel stations, placards on park benches. None of it has any tangible benefit to regular people. None.
Asking for or even suggesting tips of any kind anywhere. Also gratuities, service fees, and any other kind of made up fee. Show a price, end of story.
Also outlaw not including taxes. Show full complete prices.
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.
I’d outlaw drive through.
No longer will that fucking line up for coffee reach down the road and over the horizon in the morning. The sitting there for twenty minutes, idling your car as you watch the person in front of you park in the middle of the intersection like an asshole. No.
Go, park, use the magic of being a biped.
Now there’s no excuse. You either drink the coffee at work, or face that Starbucks barista you know secretly hates you. Biped your way in the door, get your morning fix with confidence because fuck mark, no barista is going to ruin your day.
Not while I’m there banning drive throughs to ruin it for you.
Edit: Barista. I don’t even know what a batista is but could potentially be a bad ass.
Single-use plastic packaging! All packaging now comes in a set of standard ISO sizes and satisfying some engineering constraints and requirements. You get a Coke from a convenience store - it comes as a 0.5L glass bottle. You finish with it, put it on a rack inside the store with all the other empty 0.5L bottles to be taken back to the factory to be washed and inspected for chips and reused. It could be filled with Pepsi next time! Just slap on a new paper label.
Sirens and emergency vehicle noise in songs or advertising on radio.
Ooh! Packaging that is deceptively large. For example, it should be illegal to sell a 6 inch tall tube of deodorant that’s only got three inches of deodorant in it.
All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey
OP said inconvenience, not acts of terrorism.
That song should be ruled llegal torture under the Geneva Conventions
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?
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?
Cars
Ban corporations from being able to interpret the law as they see fit.
They either follow the law according to their customers and the government’s interpretation or they don’t get to operate at all and the company gets nationalized.
The fact that corporations are allowed to do that is the root of all of our legal problems.
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.
