"Waterproof soap box for showers. That's an idea. I have a waterproof soap box that I use when travelling..."

You wouldn't need the waterproof box if the soap was waterproof. That's what's really needed. Also slip-proof too so there would be no more dropping soap and associated difficulties. But I guess these ideas are too simple to be implemented.

Another idea that is too simple to be implemented: How to increase the number of phone numbers available. In my area they are starting to add overlays -- an additional area code for the same geographical area as the existing area code. Thus, EVEYRONE in that geographical area has to dial 10 digits EVERYTIME they make a phone call. No more 7 digit calls. Net result (get this!): Twice as many phone numbers for the same geographical area -- the price: DIALING 4 EXTRA DIGITS.

When by adding ONE DIGIT to the end of phone number they could have TEN TIMES as many phone numbers for ONE EXTRA DIGIT.

I keep telling them: if only you'd ask me first, I could save you a lot of time and trouble. But they never listen. Oh Well.
