1. inconvenient

   Convenient procedures, products and services are those intended to increase ease in accessibility, save resources (such as time, effort and energy) and decrease frustration. A modern convenience is a labor-saving device, service or substance which make a task easier or more efficient than a traditional method. Convenience is a relative concept, and depends on context. For example, automobiles were once considered a convenience, yet today are regarded as a normal part of life. Because differences in lifestyles around the world, the term is a relative term based upon the conveniences previously available to a person or group. For instance, an American definition of 'modern convenience' is likely different from that of an individual living in a developing country. Most of the time, the term 'modern convenience' is used to express personal lifestyle and home life.

Examples of Inconvenient in a Sentence

1. Kevin Seifert:

   Democrats are ending this session of Congress as they started it — by advancing partisan priorities and ignoring any issue inconvenient to their political narrative, they want to gaslight Americans into believing there is no crisis on the Southern border. They want to deny the reality of a looming debt crisis, mind-trick people into believing our supply chain issues are fixed, and preemptively thwart any attempt at legitimate Congressional oversight. Rather than find areas of bipartisan consensus, Democrats are instead prioritizing President Biden’s re-election prospects. This isn’t surprising, but it is disappointing.

2. Nina Turner:

   It can't appear that she's being ignored just because it's an inconvenient truth for certain people in the Democratic Party.

3. Philippe Reines:

   FOX and others like it pretend that it’s providing information nobody else is covering. The audience is made to feel they’re in on a secret, only they are over-informed and the rest of us live on a bubble devoid of inconvenient truths. Former Hillary Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines( Fox News).

4. Assemblymember Cristina Garcia:

   Our biology doesn't always send an advanced warning when we're about to start menstruating, which often means we need to stop whatever we're doing and deal with a period. Often periods arrive at inconvenient times, having convenient and free access to these products means our period won't prevent us from being productive members of society, and would alleviate the anxiety of trying to find a product when out in public.

5. A.E. Samaan:

   Nowhere in the Bill of Rights are the words unless inconvenient to be found.
