People Explain Which Things Shouldn't Even Exist In 2022

I feel like the list will be longer than we expect. We are still behind in certain ways.

lazy...

"People sticking gum on random surfaces instead of at least throwing it towards the trash can a few feet away."

iesharael

How is this allowed?

"'Convenience' fees to pay bills online."

Rude_Yam_9962

"Yeah or any 'additional fee' that’s required to buy the product or service. Advertise $100 but then at check out they add in service fee $25, convenience fee $10."

"Always at the last second too, usually right before you enter your credit card info. Wtf? How is this allowed? Just advertise $135 if that’s the price the customer is paying. Should not be allowed to bait a low price and switch with a higher one once the customer is already invested."

Can you hear me now?

"Not being able to get cell service is spots in my own home."

Haunting_Spot_8002

"A friend worked in Africa building homes for the people. He said there were bush men with spears and loin cloths with a cell phone clipped on the side. Middle of nowhere yet reception everywhere."

RedLeader7

"Most of Africa skipped land lines altogether and went straight to mobile. In the west, cell phones and mobile internet are a luxury, in less developed regions it's often the only way to communicate."

System Collapse

"Companies that create problems and sell solutions instead of solving existing problems."

draconic_oxalis

"This was the inevitable outcome of an economic system in which only those doing labor are allowed to have food and shelter, yet technology is constantly reducing the amount of labor that is actually necessary."

"We only get money for food if we are seen to be working on problems. Now we're having a shortage of actual problems so we must make artificial ones to keep surviving. If only we had UBI, all of these pointless industries would disappear overnight as no one wants to keep working these jobs they know are pointless."

Hang Up

"Spam calls."

mstrss9

"I literally had spammers somehow dupe the phone number of my local council, it's scary just how close they can get."

Hazbro29

I HATE these SPAM calls. All hours of the day and night. I hate you!

Speed Up

"Slow internet."

Necessary_Rule_8485

"We figured it out. Just that the companies are greedy and keep the money for themselves instead of upgrading infrastructure."

Unlucky_Clover

Paper Trail

"Junk mail."

furryShambler

"I know! Whatever happened with the Paperwork Reduction Act?"

Julie-Andrews

"in the U.S. you can reduce your junk mail a lot by going to.DMAChoice.org and OptOutPrescreen.com and filling out the forms for your address. I have reduced my junk mail by about 90% : FTC source"

car-centric

"Having to spend 3 hours in traffic everyday."

CampaignAlternative3

"Because North American cities have over restrictive zoning laws that segregate cities based on type of usage and they build to a very low density and with car-centric development that makes it so everyone has to use a car to get anywhere."

houndog129

"It's not so easy to just 'find a job closer to home' for example I'll search on Indeed and the closest job in my line of work is like 2hrs away."

PhatShadow

It's Round

"Flat Earthers."

da_sylent

"So everything but earth Is round right? (according to flat Earthers) So as some members say it's like a frisbee in space. What if, bear with me... the reason the world will end is because a giant dog will catch us and kill everyone on earth by shaking the frisbee too much and cause floods and crap. Because if so, that's how I wanna die, letting a pupper have some fun with a fisbee."

viber223

Gross

"Child beauty pageants."

Heliouse66

"If I see a mother make her child do one of those, I WILL judge her."

EarwaxWizard

Can we work on eradicating these things? It's all well past expired.
