Notice what kind of packaging they come in.
That's definitely the budget equivalent - especially the way it is packaged. I think this is the one I remember:

Paying for car parking, where you either need to use an app which tacks on 5%, go to a fracking shop some distance away and presumably go through some rigmarole there, or possibly navigate a complex parking meter which among the multiple stages of complexity includes having to put in your registration - which is an incredible ball ache if you’re not in your usual vehicle and it’s parked 100 yards away and you’ve just got to the front of a queue of people which has formed because of the incredible amount of time it takes to use a bloody meter.

I had to go back and read the thread again - as I thought you were referring to Raleigh Chopper's problem at first...

On new toilet cisterns and basins.
This before I read your nominated. When and why have they become so stupidly complex,flawed and breakable. Old days bought your armitage shanks and a ballcock in late Victorian era and 100 years later still working fine. ‘Upgrade’ to new ‘modern system’ and 3 breakages in 10 years, parts that erode or break easy and impossible to find spares for and stupidly fiddly to fix...In my government, the person who designed this would be found and punished severely. If already dead then I’d take it out on their descendants. Utter utterly unnecessary. The same goon who invented new toilet cisterns would probably change the shape of the wheel too, that’s how fecking stupid this tampering numb nuts was.

I replaced the one at work. Trip to B&Q, ten minute YouTube tutorial, fifteen minute job. Simple job but the weird cartridge looking thing seemed way overly complicated. Weird looking thing.

Those little tabs that seal the bag at the top of a loaf of bread. Infuriating.
Washing machines. Fine for washing clothes.It's moving them I can't stand. Why do they not put grips or a handle cavities on them? Why?

I can't disagree with what you say but I earn a living fixing these toilet cisterns.
Some can be fiddly to fix but every day is a challenge.
