If I find a stupidly designed product, it is often because it was the cheap option. Spending more saves money in the long run. Water bottles spring to mind - most of them leak or get damaged by dish-washing sooner or later. Spending $20 on a water bottle is cheaper than spending $5 ten times. Although a high price isn't a guarantee of quality either!

- quickthrower2 5y agoYes I should have airquoted "stupid" there!

- notapenny 5y ago"I think" sums it up nicely. It's not a fact, its your opinion. Maybe it was actually designed stupidly, or maybe someone just made a different choice given a different set of circumstances.
