My main frequent inconvenience is waking up during the week and it not being a Friday. Time machine please? Either that or brain surgery I guess.

getting my bike into my apartment.

the stupid door to my back hallway opens in and I can't close it once my bike it in... so I've got to keep it in my living room, which is all well and good until I accidentally ride through a pile of mud or something.

The best I can do. Hope you're allowed to drill holes.

You have a link to this? Sounds cool. I bet it'll be expensive.

Do what I did. Train your self to sleep walk to take a piss at night. Its very nice to not have to wake up and piss.

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.

I want something that can chill things down as quick as a microwave can heat things up. Freezers are still too slow for what I'm thinking of.

Say we just bought some booze and we want it chilled, but it won't be as cold as we want it in time if we just stick it in the freezer. If we could have it chilled to freezing temp in less than 30 seconds that'd be sweet! Yeah, it's just a stupid convenience but one that comes up often enough for me to wish it existed.

I want a remote-control device that I can point at someone who is singing along badly with their mp3/ipod, that will make the ipod explode. That would be fun.

I was gonna say slow drivers, but I actually think this is worse. I just want to SLEEP! Why must I pee?
