Low-cost earbuds/plugs that don't connect right in your music player. The cord is so flimsy that instead of getting sound from both sides, the sound crackles in and out and back and forth between each side. Even though they're low-cost, you'd still think they would work straight out of the box.

Lawns. We spend a fortune fertilizing them so they'll grow, then complain because we are mowing them all the time. I want a grass that grows to 3" then stops.

How about our computers? I find it a pain in the butt to download software every time I want to do something new for the first time; clean up the hard drive; worry about security; sort through and delete files and folders, etc. ad nauseum. PCs have become a necessary evil as far as I'm concerned. They're great fun and helpful tools much of the time, but oh, how I hate the maintenance part!

There's maintenance involved?? Guess THAT'S what we've been doing wrong since we got it...
