what is your daily/frequent life inconvenience?

[Semidevil]

what are the top 1 or 2 things that come to mind when you read the question? Im talking about something that can realistically be solved should the right idea/invention come up.

it can be anything that you come across, seen people come across, or know it's an inconvenience for humans in general. It can be anything relating to your professional life, personal life, daily habits etc etc.

A way to pee without having to get out of bed.

Too many people in the world, they get in the way and are annoying.

QFT. Getting up every night to use the restroom SUCKS. Damn bladder.

Washing between the tines.

sleeping, hate going to sleep and hate waking up even more.

Fishing for invention ideas, eh?

Well for me the biggest inconvenience is dealing with other people so I bought an MP3 player and some of those giant old people glasses. Maybe you could do a mashup between those two.

I'm still waiting on those energy drinks from Popular Science that can keep you not just awake but alert, for days. Obviously you shouldn't go that long on a regular basis, but give me a small dose of that stuff to get me up and I'd be golden. Should be out in a few years apparently.

Catheter. I sleep better, longer, and it's completely cured my bed-wetting problem!

Stupid people. But the gun has already been invented. Now all we need is a maverick legislator...

Elevators in the building where I have all of my classes. It's a big building... 17 stories. Every single day there's a line out the door and down the street to get on the elevators. There are 6 elevators in the lobby, so one would think it wouldn't be an issue... however, only 3 out of those 6 work at any given time. The school buys all of this random crap that we don't need and meanwhile, the stuff that would be good to have, like working elevators, gets the shaft.

Or just having to produce various unpleasant waste products and excretions at all.

The ultimate invention IMO is teleporting.

Anyone could live and work anywhere. There would be no need for so many roads. There would no longer be a such thing as morning commutes etc.

I dunno, there's a certain pleasure in turning a bathroom into a death zone, especially a public one.

I like to poop. The feeling of freedom after my morning pee is priceless. But when its 4 am and freezing outside of my warm bed...

I challenge any man in here to tell me they haven't at least thought about hooking up a tube beside their bed that runs outside.

i've given it thought. i have a good picture in my head of how it would work and what it would look like too.

Most beds but up against a wall. Drill a hole in the wall, run a tube down to the drain for your washer. Make a small funnel for the outside of the wall. If you put it right at bed height, you could disguise it as an unused electrical outlet.

A......tube that runs outside?
What, just go in the tube and it goes outside?

Nope, afraid not. I always figured on addressing the problem itself, rather than merely treating the symptoms.
The tube would also attract a grotesque number of flies, which would then lay eggs in your butt and/or crotch. And not the good kind of eggs.


Of course, if I could be magically made so that I would utilize some kind of energy input (recharge out of a wall socket or sunlight or something) rather than have to deal with organic food and excretions, I'd do it in an instant. I wouldn't especially miss having to eat.

Trick question. It was you.
