Name for a Chinese store: no matter how original or cute it is, if you are Asian and own a Chinese store, everyone will refer to it as "where the Chinese".
Secretaries in government agencies: Specialists in desk manicuring, trading in costume jewelry and dispelling gossip about colleagues. Now they are called assistants but no one knows who they help and what their real job is.
Herbalife drinks: I have yet to meet anyone who has lost weight by consuming these supposedly "magic powders", although they are good for leaving your bank account very thin and being left to store spaghetti or pencil holders.
TV exercise equipment: no matter which one, they all end up under the bed, in a closet or as an expensive clothesline.
Bag storage bin: The uselessness in paste, all families, no matter the social class, keep their plastic bags inside a bigger one.
Enrollment in a gym: Typical, in January you feel guilty about the extra kilos and think -I should enroll in a gym-. There you go to the place, you see the weights and the stationary bikes, how hot the instructors are and you pay for an expensive membership that you never make worth it.
Spirals and mosquito repellent plates: They serve no purpose except to suffocate you at night while the mosquitoes suck your blood and laugh at you.
Dog shoes: Seriously, do you know how ridiculous pets look with shoes, considering the fact that animals don't need to wear those things; can you imagine the mockery of the other dogs at the park when they see yours wearing their "nikes"?
The potato peeler: Perhaps one of the most expensive but least used kitchen utensils. We always, but always end up using a knife to remove the skin of the potato while the peeler goes straight to the trunk of oblivion.
The protractor: It was always accompanied by a ruler and two squares but it was the last thing to get damaged among the school supplies because not even the teacher knew what a protractor was for. I didn't even use it to draw circles, much less to measure and to this day I still don't know what it's used for, but I have 6 of those intact from when I went to school, who wants them?
