Simple observations from the JetHangar.
What else you got?
- Pull tabs
Instead of getting out a can opener and turning the crank forever, or fighting with an electric one that doesn't stay in place, manufactures gave us the pull tab lid...which is awesome until the pull ring breaks off. Then you have to go get the can opener. (Or pliers)
- Safety foil seals
For protection and insurance against tampering, companies have given us bottles of medicine, lids of yogurt, coffee creamers, and a plethora of safe-from-corruption items and provided handy little extensions of the foil to grab...until the foil tabs rip off. Time to get something sharp to stab the foil with. If you screw up and stab yourself, you're really gonna need those pain-relievers anyhow.
- Automatic sliding doors
Hands full? Pushing a cart while carrying a kid and holding another kid's hand?
No problem! Automagically opening door is here to help you! Until it's stuck.
- Electronic calendars
With the convenience of all things digital comes the ever handy electronic calendar! No more little crumpled pocket calendars. No more desk top versions that get smeared with ink and Thursday's Chinese lunch. No more keeping track in a little spiral notebook. Just enter all your appointments, birthdays, special events, and super important reminders into your electronic best friend's memory bank! And wait for it to show blank when you open it sometime soon.
- Clicky pens
Ahh...the clicky pen. More better-er than the capped version. Super more better-er than the lost-cap version. The comforting clickity sound that proclaims "Open!"..."Closed!"..."OPEN!"..."CLOSED!"...
Until the clickity part gets stuck. If it gets stuck in "Open", you're gonna leak ink everywhere at some point when you forget it's open and stick it in your pocket. If it's stuck closed, you're gonna need an engineering degree to make it work.
