Things that suck

There are certain things that somehow stand in defiance to mankind's progression- things that for some reason, despite free markets, discerning consumers, and lots and lots of healthy competition, refuse to improve. Why the following haven't progressed at all is beyond me:

USB drives: This isn't necessarily a problem with any one particular USB drive, rather, the industry's refusal to introduce a standard as to which way the damned thing goes in your computer. On some drives the squiggly sign faces up, whereas on others it faces downward when inserted into the computer. WTF.

Cereal Bags: The big econo-bags get it. Why don't boxed cereals have easy open bags inside? After ripping countless cereal bags clear in half I've resigned myself to using scissors. I resent this.

More to come.
