I am always telling my son that there is no way for us to come up with a product that isn’t already being made, but still we try. He came up with this great idea of having toothpaste in a container attached to your toothbrush so you just squeeze it and paste comes up into your bristles. Sounded neat, well, a couple of days later we saw some at Wal-Mart, on clearance even. Of course we bought one, it sucked.
This morning I was watching CSI (on the DVR) and all of a sudden I startled my husband by shouting, “They should make condoms for cell-phones!” Great idea, right, for people working in messy fields - like CSI’s or Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs.
My husband was ready to go out and buy a condom to put on his phone and see if he could still hear and be heard when I did a little internet search and well, they already exist. Back to the drawing board.
Believe it or not, this happens to me all the time. I'll have a brilliant
idea only to find out someone else had it before me. Sigh...one of these
days! By the way, stop by my blog tomorrow, I've tagged you.
I've done this a few times, too. I'm always so disappointed.
I wanted to be a scientist when I was a little girl but then I realized
everything's been invented already. I gave myself a week to come up with an
original idea. I never did. That was a sad sad time. Hahaha.
