“Things Designed By People Who Don’t Have To Clean Them” is a Facebook group where people share pics of everything that’s hard to clean. We talk about ugly design a lot and this takes the cake for me.
First of all, cleaning isn’t necessarily my favorite chore. The harder something Is to clean, the longer it takes me to actually clean it. My apartment has popcorn ceilings and the way dust collects on them is infuriating. I can’t believe anyone thought that was a good idea. That’s not the worst,m though. Some of the pics shared in this group are mind-boggling.
