Certain products and designs that I feel need improvement and are currently "bad" designs are 

1. Many models of microwaves

   • Most microwave models I run into have more than 15 different buttons and functionalities that I never know how to use or never need to use. I feel that we can either ​get rid of more than 70% of the functionality on microwaves or make them easier to figure out when to use

2. The imperial system

   • It is mostly the arbitrary nature of conversions that annoy me with the imperial system. 12 inches in a foot, ​3 ft in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile, 16 ounces in a pound. All the random conversions are a pain in the classroom setting especially when frequently having to convert to metric.

3. Parking signs

   • Many parking signs I feel like offer way too much information to process in the middle of driving. I feel that visual diagrams or bigger words would be easier to understand while driving.​

4. USB ports

   • Microusb ports can be fitted with whatever side of the usb cable but regular usb ports need the cable in a specific orientation. If the symmetric nature of the microusb port can be ported to the standard usb port, it would be a user favorite improvement​
