Ha, don't get me started. 25 years in manufacturing maintenance has made me one bitter mofo.
I'm still pissed about medicine bottle tops. My fangas are too big to open them.

WHAT GEAR ARE YOU IN?
oil filters mounted DIRECTLY above exhaust pipes.

Oil drain plug locations that fill up factory skid plates, looking at you here GMT800s

to expand on that. why the water pump/accessories are different on a C7 cat between a freighshaker and Paccar. Its the same damn engine in an open chassis.

WHAT GEAR ARE YOU IN?
starter and knock sensors on a 4.5L infinit v8. Fuck you Nissan.
Front diff bushings on the 5.7L grand cherokars around 04 to 07 give or take.
Accessory drive belts with pulleys so close you can't fish a new belt in without removal of the pulley. Looking at you 6.7L cummins.
Engineers that leave you room to install a space for an expansion, but not enough space to maintain either in a treatment plant.
process engineers that create a problem and then want more money to fix it because the new problem wasn't in their scope of work originally.

I can do those front diff bushings fast with an air chisel.

I ain't the one to blame.

I'm guessing it's not a 4th gen? Those are literally staring you in the face when you open the hood

Honestly, I want to stab the fucker that designed (yes I know who it was) the rear takedown retention spring location on the AR. I mean really 2 extra seconds could have seen a shorter spring and a threaded in cap...but no, lets not make it simple. I bet the same fucker thought it was a great idea to use a roll pin for the bolt release rather than thread that.

You can fix both of those with a tap and set screw. I'm to cheap to do it but there are a few billet options offered that way.

Yes I am well aware, do it all the time.. however it should have been factory/milspec from the start.

A nut and a bolt with 2 big washers.

It’s a 5th gen. (2013). It’s a 2wd, and as much as I appreciate skid plates, you have to remove 3 to access the damn thing.
fuck, he ended the thread on page one.
Years ago I set the timing on a dodge 318 in a late 70s Ramcharger and getting to that things distributor hold down bolt was ridiculously hard. They outdid themselves on that one. But I have to admit that the other day I was tightening down the nuts holding a tillotson carburetor to an antique 2 stroke motor and 1 of them was barely able to be tightened by an endwrench and I thought to myself, hey this is stupider than some of the stuff I have designed less than perfectly and installed.

the dip shit designer, that thought it would be good idea to put 3" deep holes that house torx screws on exterior cover for the air intake and exhaust for my furnace.
mud dauber like making homes in them. i cannot access the screws to take the cove off, a fawking wasp nest i killed, is blocking the air intake of the furnace.

Someone I thought was a friend gave me his old 2003 VW Passat. 270hp W8 engine, AWD, tint and rims. Sounds like an easy flip to some 
, right? Needs a few minor things like a fuel pump...
As though it needs to be said, fuck VW.

The Cruze is just a shitmobile from end to end. Not bad to work on which is good, because it's perpetually broken.
The Caterpillar engineers that decided NOT to put a cab lift on their dozers. The Trimble engineers that decided it was a great idea to mount our automatics ecm under the floor next to the seat in a dozer. Now I get to spend an hour tearing the seat out of a brand new dozer just to spend another hour twisting my body in directions it's not meant to twist just to install a fucking ecm. John Deere has it right. Install a fucking cab lift mechanism, and all those problems are solved.
My oldest daughter has one that she’d like to set on fire and push off a cliff.
