I purchased a new cell phone cover last week because I liked the paisley design. (Why I had to purchase a phone is a whole nother 1WP)

When the cover arrived I noticed the sides were white instead of a continuation of the paisley design.

You ask "why is this a problem?"

My wife's phone cover is white too so she started mistaking my phone for her phone and texting from my phone.

This lead to my next problem: I wanted to keep my paisley cover so how was I going to cover the white sides?

Fortunately I found a black Sharpie oil-based ink marker where the ink would stick to plastic.

FYI: I also picked up a white one as well. This one has more of a pen based tip.

These are awesome because the ink sticks to metal, smooth plastic, glass, vinyl, rubber and leather.

So now I can permanently label all kinds of stuff that I couldn't before.

FTR: Here's a pic of the offending cover. I hope u like it too:

This is so wrong. You're not supposed to do anything to remediate the issue. You're just supposed to complain about it.
 
The button layout on my two pairs of bluetooth headphones is not exactly the same, so sometimes I have to take them off and look at the buttons.
I have a pair of Sony bluetooth headphones that have a button you push back and forth to skip back to the previous song or forward to the next one. Unfortunately they have designed it so that you have to push the button forward to go back and back to go forward. This bugs me so much that I wear the headphones backwards (with the left ear cup on the right ear, etc.) so the button works the "right" way.

The location of the buttons on my leather recliner is a horrible design. Every time one of the dogs or the cat gets up on my lap, they activate the buttons and I end up in nap position.
I think your dogs and cat know this, and are doing it deliberately.

I think you're right.
