So while I was avoiding doing work in the office today we were having a discussion on what inventions which now seem obvious make your every day life easy...

he first one that springs to is the single 'swing' tap.

Why anyone uses dual taps is beyond me. pingpingpingping to make a good temperature and always turn one off quicker than the other and scold/freeze yourself getting out the shower.

Also while on bathrooms... another pet hate.

Why the fuck would anyone want two taps? How often do you think "I'd really love one cold hand and one burning hand?". Stupid.


Any way throw up any others which spring to mind.

(Obviously a very productive day at work).

Can't remember we're I heard this, but I believe they pay very decent money to use the design. Some bloke in Europe or something came up with it. Apparently quite common over there though. They have possibly bought exclusions to prevent others from using it here, cause it would be good to see it on other drinks.

This, tights are sensational on the right arse. They must ONLY be worn with G-strings, no exceptions.

Some women should be banned from tight clothing though.

Nothing wrong with dual taps, as long as the water mixes and flows out of the same outlet. Beats me why someone would install seperate outlets for hot and cold though...
