Unnecessarily Complicated LLC
This didn’t need to be so complicated.
We find everyday things that are ridiculously overcomplicated…
and fix them in 2 steps or less.
We removed 9 unnecessary steps. You’re welcome.
Today’s Problem
A rotating roast of things that somehow need 14 steps and a fax machine in 2026.
Problem: Resetting your password
Reality:
- Must include: 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase, 1 symbol, 1 ancient rune.
- Cannot match any of your previous 37 passwords.
- Expires before you finish typing it.
- Must be verified via email, phone, and carrier pigeon.
- Fails once, locks your account for 24–48 business years.
Our Fix:
“Let me log in. I’m literally me.”
Looks different tomorrow
“Today’s Problem” updates regularly, because the internet keeps giving us material.
Come back tomorrow for a fresh disaster — or send us your own below.
Things That Shouldn’t Be This Hard
If any of these give you mild rage, you’re in the right place.
We Simplified It
Red chaos on the left. Green sanity on the right. Because life is hard enough without UI puzzles.
- Log in.
- Find "Account" hidden under your avatar from 2015.
- Click "Manage plan" → "Change plan" → "Are you sure?".
- Explain, in a textbox, why you are leaving. Twice.
- Wait 48 hours for a "we’re sad" email.
- Click "Cancel".
- It’s canceled. No guilt trip, no essay.
- Send "What time works for you?" email.
- Receive 6 time options, none of which work.
- Create a doodle, poll, or shared suffering spreadsheet.
- Accidentally book over someone’s dentist appointment.
- Send a link.
- They pick a time. Calendar magic happens. Done.
- Listen to "Your call is important" on loop.
- Repeat your account number to 3 different humans.
- Get transferred. Get disconnected. Start over.
- Send a message.
- Someone answers like a human, with context, the first time.
Send Us Something That Makes No Sense
Seen something unnecessarily complicated? We’ll simplify it (and probably make fun of it).
What’s broken?
Tell us the process, the screens, the "why is this a thing" moment.
Optional screenshot/link
You can send a URL, screenshot, or dramatic retelling.
Email (optional)
Only if you want us to tell you when we’ve fixed your chaos.
We’ll never make fun of you. Just the process.
What happens next?
- We read your submission (probably nodding aggressively).
- We turn it into a simple, 1–2 step version.
- We publish it in a future "Today’s Problem" feature.
- Internet strangers thank you for your service.
You’re Not the Only One
Everyone thinks it’s just them. It’s not.
“I just wanted to cancel. Why am I on step 9?”
Person who now double-checks every "Free Trial".
“Why does logging in feel like a background check?”
Just wanted to see their own invoices.
“This took 20 minutes for no reason.”
Every human, after updating their address somewhere.
Who We Are
We’re the people in the room asking: “Why is this so complicated?”
We take broken processes, unnecessary steps, and overengineered systems… and turn them into something that actually makes sense.
We’re not here to rant. We’re here to roast the complexity, show simpler alternatives, and quietly nudge the internet toward sanity.
If you’ve ever thought "there has to be a better way" — we’re your people.
