When my main bathroom was renovated a number of years ago, we reconfigured it and moved all of the fixtures within the space. I sacrificed my linen closet in favor of a larger, jetted tub which is located below the room’s window. Since I would never want to offend my neighbors with nudity, I covered the lower window with decorative window film designed to provide privacy, which it did for a good number of years. Recently, though, it’s been starting to look a bit worse for the wear. Time for something new.
I went to Lowe’s and found their small selection of comparable window film products. After quickly reading the package, where it stated “Static Cling – No Adhesives” I tossed it in the cart. Cross that task off the homeowner list.
Unfortunately, once I was home I realized that I did in fact need to purchase additional items, namely the Gilda Tool kit. This set, at an additional cost of $9, contained window film application solution, a squeegee card, trim tool and low-lint cloth. Great, let’s get this done, right? Believe it or not, this is when I got the most annoyed by the entire chore…
The original package contains enough film to cover a 2′ x 5′ window. Seems reasonable enough. Now, the film application solution bottle contains 16 oz of some kind of liquid for which I have no other imaginable purpose. What’s the point of that? My bathroom window required a couple of squirts, but even a larger window wouldn’t possibly need more than an ounce of solution. Why in the world would the manufacturer provide such an excessive amount of this solution that now I have to dispose of?
Things like this annoy me more than you can imagine. Tell me what household project annoyed you recently.

A lot of things come in a package of two. I only need one. What do I do with the other one?
