Handles For All

 Make the world easier to lift

This certainly isn't a 'let's all' or wi-bni. At least I hope not. But wouldn't life be much easier if certain objects had built-in handles? You wouldn't have to ashamedly ask for help with those big, slippery boxes. Or oblong objects that just seem to 'fold' under your grip. Bulky, half-filled water beds are no big deal. Tall book shelves are no longer a problem if you don't have to tip it at an angle to get a grip underneath. Equip the world with more handles. It'd make a big difference for those of us who don't have biceps the size of tree trunks.

       Don't they have straps for suitcases that have an extra handle on them? Look around at your local airport.

       Huh?

       While I believe bulky, half-filled waterbeds will always remain a big deal, there is lots of room for improvement when it comes to product design. I get paid to deal with the consequences of those issues, and I will always support efforts to fight design crime, be it venial or cardinal.

       Even people with biceps the size of tree trunks have to tilt tall bookshelves at an angle to get a grip underneath. Makes life easier for them too ! ( I wouldn't want anyone feeling left out of the Handle Revolution ). Hurrah! Jolly good ! Enjoymentfullness ! Other long jubilatory words !

       It's not a let's all, it's a y'all, as in would y'all please put handles everywhere we might need them?
—oxen crossing, Apr 08 2004
   

       Maybe handles with nice plastic grips that have really sticky suff on the flat plate kinda thing they're attached to?

       Powr-Grip® <link> will grip almost any smooth surface and allow easy carrying. Truly, a Handles for All.

       $55.95, [Klaatu]? Plus having to carry it everywhere? I don't think its worth it. Plus, its like saying that the Wolftronix animatronic tail link bakes the 'Tails for All' idea...

       Sorry, I don't think "put handes on things that don't have handles" is a suitable idea for the bakery.

       I just cannot handle double negatives.
