Random jean buttons
These are called Rivets, and they are strategically added to jeans to prevent the seams from coming undone and getting worn out. These buttons were invented by Lewis Strauss back in 1892 when jeans were mainly worn by miners and they complained that they wore out easily.
Pen cap holes
The holes at the top of pen caps were designed to maintain air flow in the event that someone swallows one. Since many people, especially school goers and toddlers can’t seem to keep them out of their mouth, the designers thought it essential to prevent asphyxiation.
