    What little thing in life could you use. A heated butter knife? a computer mouse that doesn't make that irritating click sound? A pillow with your husbands or maybe co workers face on it that you can beat up for those angry times. LOL

    I am looking for simple things that annoy people and ways to solve it. Thinking about opening a business and some product ideas.

    Funny you should mention heated butter knife. I was in the barber shop reading popular mechanics - a recent, but not the most recent issue - and one of the articles identifying best new products f 2014 (I think) was a kind of deeply serrated butter knife whose claim was that it worked on hard butter. That immediately got me to thinking about a heated butter knife. The same issue had an article on a kind of carbon or metal power that could conduct electricity and I figured if you put this on the blade of a knife with a battery in the handle, and as long as the powdery stuff had some electrical resistance, it would heat and voila - a heated butter knife.
    Brought the article home and showed my wife, who said 'who cares about a heated butter knife; if you have hard butter just mic it for a few seconds and it will soften'. C'est la vie!

    My daughter, who has small children, acquired our old mitten drier. It is a plastic gizmo with a number of points on it that you put mitts on and place over a heat grate so they can dry. We had this one since our children were little. She said that she hadn't seen these available in stores and why didn't I think of getting them made in China and selling them. (Of course, that's easier said than done.) Anyway I was in Canadian Tire a week or so later and saw the exact same gizmo there for about 12 bucks, then saw a Home Hardware flyer which had them listed for about 7 bucks. So either someone beat us to the punch, or they have always been around.

    I'm referring to everything! I want a floor that will self-clean by way of self-sweeping, self-mopping, self-vacuuming...you get the idea!

    Funny thing is they already have self cleaning floors. Hardwood floors/ laminate floors that have small slits in them and sit over a kind of vacuum line. then the line runs to the baseboard. then out to the bin. Great for dog hair but extremely expensive

    Magic wand to put furniture together. Saves on spending hours putting night stands etc together with tools, screws etc.

    Seriously I want an app like Flyeronfire in my area! Get busy. Wish I could think of something else but it would require work. I'm too tired from work.
