A phone that cannot be pocket-dialed.

A refrigerator that gently informs you when you leave the door open.

A sink faucet that does not take 30 seconds to warm up in the winter in New England.

Your turn.

I want to be able to send messages to those around me, even if I don't have their cell numbers. Things like:

Hey, buttwipe, get out of the left lane if you are going to go 5 below the speed limit.

Or "Hey, nice boobs."

For her sake, I would like it if they invented a phone that you could speak into and your voice would come out of some sort of "speaker" at the other end, so the other person could hear exactly what you said, rather than the way phones currently work, where apparently you talk into them and they use voice recognition to translate your speech into a text message.

Also, I would like to own a sentry gun that would automatically keep the kids off my lawn.

Seriously. I have never owned a toaster that works correctly. If someone has a good brand, please let me know.

Dear John, such a toaster exists already.



Quote: Toaster Vision also includes features like an 8 level browning dial, crumb tray, and extra high lift so you won,,,t accidentally burn your digits when trying to retrieve your toast. All I can say is, leave it to the French to make something as simple as making toast look sexy.
