On a Lighter Note of Outrage

On a Lighter Note of Outrage

This is nothing new, but since I’m on a being-pissy roll, I had to share this:

 

Notice the distance between the sprayer intake tube and the level of the cleaner.  And don’t think it’s limited to Windex.  Even in those opaque bottles, this is what they’re giving us.  I don’t see why – it’s not going to make us buy more, I don’t think.  I know I’m not the only one that pours the last bit of the old stuff into a new container.  It just makes it more annoying, because now you have to have two open bottles of liquid cleaner, waiting to use up just that last bit until the new container has that much emptied out of it.  Maybe the marketing department guys throw this out when they get a new container, so they thought the rest of us would, too?  I don’t know.  However, the industrial spray bottles they sell at Costco still have the tube that goes all the way down to the bottom, and Sharpie markers are pretty impervious to cleaners, so you can use those to label the different bottles.  Plus, you can always buy the big, cheaper per ounce, refill bottles of cleaner, then you can have only one spray bottle at a time open and store the refill out of the way.  It’s actually no more work than dealing with this^^ stupid stuff, and it’s a nice little Bronx cheer to the marketing geniuses who came up with it.
