RE: The Old Dog Presents: What Were They Thinking? The Design Hall of Shame! Part One

in #design8 years ago (edited)

Great post! I think they sell us shallow sinks so we have to buy a second normal sink after we decide 31 days after purchase that we're tired of cleaning up. 1 for the price of 2 huh?

The other day I had to jump start my car, and a guy with some new Audi offered to help. I get everything ready, he pulls around and lines up. He opens the hood and we see a cover over practically the entire engine compartment. I don't think the owner could access a single thing, including the battery. No easily visible way to remove or open it either. (The guy was surprised cause he wasn't the owner of the car.) So silly to have it at all, you have a cover for the engine, it's called the hood...

Sort:  

Funny! I had a Citroen and the battery was under the passenger seat!!! We had to unbolt the seat to get at it!!!

Lol! That's ridiculous! So poor guy jump starts the car, leaves it running in the garage (he can't turn it off cause the lady he got a jump start from has to leave,) and while re-bolting the seat in for 35 min in the cold, the CO silently builds up. Omg... Smart...

Seems predictable to me, dunno what the problem is engineers/designers...
