What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:

  • Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine’s programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.
  • Every website looks like it’s made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.
  • Actually EVERYTHING looks like it’s made for a phone… Like what’s the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it’s not like you’re lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can’t be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.

    Maybe that’s intentional to keep you from wanting to stay there a long time and negotiate.

      Which especially sucks if you’re just there for servicing and have to wait for a couple hours
