1. Two pronged electrical plugs. One side is a bit larger than the other. Fifty-fifty chance to get it right. I always get it wrong.

Three beers and a bench grinder - make both the same size - problem solved.

2. TV cable ends. Hand tighten, and then a wrench or pliers is always required to get it out. And why are the post in such obscure locations?

Carry a Leatherman multitool in your pocket at all times, and you are prepared for the worst. If you don't have pockets available because you are not wearing any clothes, well... you must really like the show you are watching, so what is the problem? To take care of the "obscure location" issue - Make a patch cord that you solder to the TV/DVD/VHS/Betamax with a male connector on the other end - you can put that connector in a location that is convenient location. You can even build a patch panel for all your electronics if you wish.

3. Auto ice dispensers in refrig door, gives you two cubes, or too much, never just the right amount.

Open the d@$# door and take the number of cubes you want, forget about begging the machine to give you something.

4. Jump drives for computers. Fifty-fifty chance to plug it in correctly, I always get it wrong.

Do you want to jump or do you want to drive - make up your mind.. If you mean those new-fangled floppy disk that they stick in a little plastic box (not your floppy drive) - Use some of your pink fingernail polish to mark the side that goes up. If you try a different computer and it goes the other way - turn the computer over - it was installed improperly.

5. New fangled 5 gallon gasoline cans, with the auto-breathe-dispenser technology. Give me an old milk can and a worn out funnel.

Get some vinyl hose from your nearest hardware store, and the duct tape from your office - make the kind of nozzle that you want. (I totally agree with you on this one, that new crap makes me spill more fuel than I ever had before.)

6. Sawing pvc pipe. Why does it take so long to saw the last 1/3 of the pipe?

Three words - power - miter - saw.

7. Hose faucett connections. Seems to take twice as many turns to get them off as to put them on.

Weld the hose end to the hosebib to prevent leakage. If you REALLY need to get your hose off (the hosebib) - use your Leatherman (see suggestion 2) to cut the hose off.

Glad I could help. :-)
