Things that don't work the way they should

1. Toothpaste slides off your toothbrush into the sink.


2. The world was made for average people. In the long run, nobody wins.


3. All burger joint kids' toys are defective — except for one set of plastic windup cars in the 1990's that worked perfectly. You could get twelve meters of zippy straightline fun out of one windup, and it never broke. My theory is, those toys were designed by some genius engineer fresh out of college; that was her first job, and she did it without the "planned obsolescence."


4. Microsoft Vista. Obviously.
