I hate that products sometimes seem to come in containers designed not for convenience and efficiency, but presumably to make us buy more sooner. A container of seasoned salt may be mostly clear plastic, but down near the bottom the label goes all the way around so you can't tell when it's nearly empty, other than by estimating how heavy it is.

The worst examples are those deodorant sticks that become top-heavy as you use them up and also have rounded lids or caps so you can't store them upside down. When the product is nearly gone it'll topple over if a fly sneezes on it.

Maybe this is something that's fading by the wayside, because it's with a couple of my older devices that have this. These days I think they mostly just beep discreetly.

One is a Naxa Bluetooth speaker that we sometimes use to play quiet background music. Whenever we connect it to a phone, we get the following stentorian proclamation. You can hear it through walls and throughout this 2100 square foot house.

THE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER IS CONNECTED UP SUCCESSFULLY!

It makes no difference how we had the volume set previously.

I have a Method Wireless Skullcandy headset that I use once in awhile, usually because I forgot to recharge my newer headsets. This has the same issue, though it just says "BLUETOOTH CONNECTED!"

Does anyone else still run into this, and do you hate it as much as I do?
