Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

      Is it that they’re “too difficult to use” or is it just that they’re a pain in the ass? Because it’s the latter in my experience.

        In my experience, one begets the other.

        It’s a pain in the ass because its difficult to use. Or, at least more difficult than it needs to be.

          Yeah, but they also break really easily, and then you have the fun of either trying to get the string fixed or back on the track or whatever or just replacing the whole thing.
