BlakeSome disadvantages of using the metric system include the need to convert measurements when transitioning from other systems, resistance due to people's familiarity with other systems, and the potential cost of changing signage, labels, and tools to metric units.
People are resistant to change.
Now that most countries have been using the metric system in science and engineering for several years there are likely to be few practical problems. Some Luddites will, no doubt, be confused for a while, and it would be difficult for those who are too set in their habots - such as some elderly.

We would have to change all of our instruments to metric units. Plus, some people aren't used to the metric system.
About the only advantage is that it takes some time getting accustomed to something new. But once the transition is done, the advantages will far outweigh any temporal discomfort.
