38 Product 'Improvements' That Improve Nothing

If you've ever worked in customer service, you know that there are some products out there that could use some great improvement. In fact, many of them seem to be designed with one goal in mind: to make our lives as frustrating as possible. Here are just a few of the worst offenders. Let's hope these companies decide to make some much-needed changes soon!

Some products are just so bad, they can't be improved. Even the slightest change makes them absolutely terrible. Here are some of the worst products that somehow got worse with a makeover.

Companies are constantly adding fancy new features to their goods in order to lure consumers into upgrading to the most recent versions. Or they're removing features that we've grown accustomed to. The problem is that most of the time, anything they add - or take away - is a complete deal-breaker for purchasing decisions.

So we asked you to complain about features and nuances that keep you from buying something - either because they're included or not.
