Created for men; forget us women.

Have noticed two small pieces of machinery/equipment lately that I find extremely difficult to operate, because of the length of my fingernails. No, not the long, long false thingies either:-

Ever used one of the smaller Asda trolleys you have to put a pound deposit in the slot, very easy to get in, but try and get it out again .. have had to succumb to asking a knight of the aisles with short strong, stubby thumbs to get it out for me ... grrrrrh.

This new lawn mower thing I have purchased has a button which is level with the casing .. you press whilst pulling up the handle to get going. Cannot do it, have to get some tool to press it as not enough diameter to fit in thumb and nail ... grrrh.

Can think of many more items like this whereby some designer has not given us women and our adornments enough consideration.
