Ripe for execution?

I have no doubt shown my frustration before with product designers and/or production engineers as to what we get when we pay for any particular item - in the hope that such at least does what it suggests it might do. But if there is a Hell, then please donate that which you would like to go to such a place - preferably those responsible spending their futures enduring their own mistakes and/or poor design/production - and for eternity.

My list:

The silly ****ers (design/production/whatever) who insist on making the films covering ready meals so inadequate that they invariably fall apart rather than peel neatly away when required to do so. Plenty of manufacturers seem to manage to create perfectly reasonable products so the technical issues are irrelevant - but economies perhaps not so.

Another is a simple item like an indoors drying frame - as per this item or similar (should have read the reviews): :oops:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B098JJGHNL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00

The problem being, the clips are made of three pieces - the sides clasping any clothes and a spring holding these together. And it is all too easy for the whole thing to fall apart and it's a bother putting it back together again. It can be done and I've done it a few times but other drying racks use simpler clips that can't fall apart. So, just a little more thought perhaps.

Any suitable horrors destined for Hell in your life - of the non-human variety of course? :mad:

You need to get out more. Or at all. :rolleyes:

I have no doubt shown my frustration before with product designers and/or production engineers..

I couldn't agree more! Have you read "The Design of Everyday Things" ?

My list of badly designed products goes on forever. Are you familiar with the design ideas of "affordances" and "mappings"? Here's a great example of bad mapping:

Can't remember if I have read this, and it probably is because I was an engineer that I often get peeved at sloppy design or penny-pinching. Seems to be the case that plenty just don't do any product testing before they put products on sale. :oops:
