20 Hilarious Comments From Redditors About What They Would Sell If They Owned An "Inconvenient Store"
Have you ever wondered what goods or services an "inconvenient" store might offer?
Reddit has a way of turning the most ordinary ideas into something wildly funny, and this time the joke is an “inconvenient store.” Instead of convenience, the whole point is to sell things that make life harder, and people on r/AskReddit ran with it fast.
The prompt came from Redditor u/powerX21, who asked what would be sold in a store designed to frustrate customers on purpose. The replies quickly filled up with absurd products, clever twists, and a lot of everyday items made just annoying enough to be hilarious.
The post pulled in 7.5K upvotes and more than 5K comments, so there was clearly no shortage of ideas. Read on.
And the question has been dropped...
u/powerX21The Redditors were very witty in their replies. So we’ve gone ahead and gathered some of the best comments from Redditors just for your entertainment.
A few of these ideas are painfully clever.
1. A broom that sheds its bristles
2. A drive-through that sells foods you must eat with both hands
3. Items that won't fit through your door
4. Chargers that actually discharge your batteries
5. Socks that come in packs of 3 only
6. Payment must be in exact change with a twist
7. This is really funny. Like, what!
That one definitely leans into the chaos.
This is the same kind of “why didn’t we think of that?” energy as practical fixes that make ordinary situations easier to handle.
8. There are certain USB cords that just won't fit
9. Imagine having a chair with uneven legs...
10. A smart way to get people to buy stuff at your store
11. This Redditor has a whole bunch of them
12. Lol... Odorant instead of deodorant
Reddit really committed to the bit here.
13. Having all the essentials that you would need out of stock
14. Extension cords with incompatible sockets
15. Lol... An individual grain of rice? What!
16. Now what will I do with a fish photo?
17. Dead batteries? No. Almost dead batteries it is...
18. Here we have a plunger that is missing the handle
19. Easy open lid, but then you need the God of Thunder to strike it open
20. Lol... Isn't that the standard already?
There’s always something new to see on the internet, and there are people who can think up crazy things that one wouldn’t consider on a normal day. But then their thoughts sometimes make sense, and you wonder why you didn’t think of it in the first place.
