Got a new coffee maker last week... the water tank is on the opposite side from the handle

Honestly, who thought that made sense? Now I have to twist my arm weirdly just to fill it, and it's slippery with wet hands. Has anyone else dealt with a kitchen gadget that just feels backwards?

Is it just me or did they design it for a left-handed person who's also some kind of contortionist? Makes me wonder if the person who designed it ever actually tried to use it themselves.

My buddy Mark got one of those fancy air fryer toaster oven combos last year. The crumb tray slides out from the front but the little handle is on the back side of the tray, so every time he pulls it out the crumbs fall all over his counter. He said he spent like ten minutes trying to figure out if he was just installing it upside down or something. Ended up having to use a butter knife to scrape the crumbs forward before he could even pull the thing out. He just leaves a towel under it now and calls it his "special crumb catch system." Makes me wonder if these companies even have a kitchen in their office.

Nah, @mitchell.shane's buddy probably just didn't read the manual.
