Which of Man's Inventions annoy you the most?

[dietpeachsnapple]

The cellphone

It is like a remote shock collar I have to carry around so people can bug me when THEY feel like bugging me and I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!!!

Got forbid I turn the little fucker off because of the massive reaming I will receive in the immediate future.

...

And I hate talking on the phone for social reasons...

*shakefistshakefist*

Don't say religion

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Okaaaaaay then. I'd have to say cigarettes.
WTF IS THE POINT?

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

No wonder you don't like cigarettes! The orange part isn't the point, the white part is!

Mobile phones. They aren't so bad if people could control them, but ignoring the redeeming features I think they are what annoy me the most. People wasting my time by being in my company but using their cellphone all the time. I do have better things to do than sit and watch people stare unintelligently at their little gadgets and texting with people whose time they could be wasting instead of mine. They are also the perfect way for clingy girlfriends of boyfriends to ruin their partner's evening out by constantly craving their attention through either text messages or phone calls.

I wholeheartedly agree. They could have been an awesome way to deliver important messages but they have been thoroughly raped by service providers and teenagers.

Speaking of which, teenagers suck, teenagers are useless little bastards that do nothing for anyone. Which is why I'm so ashamed to be one.

Twitter and the Twats who use it.

Abso-fucking-lutely.

Seriously, if my friends really wanted to know when I'm taking a shit or washing dishes, then they would personally request that I keep them informed.

In fact, I hate all social networking sites. Here's a tip people, NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOUR LIFE.

Simple, the gun!

No benefits have came because of this weapon.

I challange any escapist to name a REAL benefit of the gun!

I don't know it made hunting a lot easier way back in the day when people actually had to hunt to survive, especially if you didn't know how to use a bow.

Sorry but the gun was invented in the 17th century, and by that time people who still needed to hunt regularly for food, wouldn't have used a gun as they couldn't afford one.

Here's one: Killing people that invade your home or country. There. Give me my cookie.

Facebook (because people are asocial as it is), MMORPG (for the same reason) and aluminum foil (why do we even need it if we have those plastic film thingies).

Seriously, if my friends really wanted to know when I'm taking a shit or washing dishes, then they would personally request that I keep them informed.

Well...now that you mention it...umm...can you keep me informed about your hygenic patterns??? pleeeeaaassseeee

OT: I would have to say ... cars, I really hate cars. I like bikes and I wouldn't mind walking and camping to get to places, especially where everything you need (for the most part) is all within a half hour walking distance and everyone lived on farms and stuff. You know what, I want to live in the medieval times without the church and the oppression but with an extra dosage of sword fighting and archery. Oh, and with minor technology (like fridges).

... Oh, how I do go on... I was serious about the hygenic patterns thing braden.

God (ziiiing). Seriously, probably nuclear weapons. As for personal annoyances - plastic wrapping has to be at the top. Its so wasteful and unnecessary!

 

[Daedalus1942]

Search Bar used!

So, as the title suggests, what invention annoys you the most? Ignore any and ALL redeeming values it may or may not have. What annoys you and why?

Also, just for reference: Don't say religion, or atheism, or anything of the sort. For serious.

Anyways! To start this off?

Saran wrap / plastic wrap.

Sure, it keeps foods fresh, but holy FECK. I hate it so much... It's IMPOSSIBLE to tear it off the roll without crinkling it, and once it's crinkled, it can't be fixed. It just turns itself into a horrible ball of suck and fail.

What about you? What boils YOUR apples?

Politics.
That, or Twitter.

 

[Comrade Snarky]

babies...

 

[dark-amon]

High school musical! This is a curse put on man if anything is.
The second worse thing would be the A-bomb and any nuclear missile.

 

[Rooster893]

Degrassi. High schools are NOTHING like that.

 

[orangebandguy]

Clamshell packaging, My fingers are scarred and mutilated everytime I open something that's packaged like that.

 

[dontlooknow]

The electric toothbrush, Adam Sandler, BMX bikes, low fat yogurt, low fat milk, low fat chocolate, fat people (irony), irony (irony), the use of irony for irony?s sake, me, myself, doppelgangers, Tuesdays, the digital camera, those white t-shirts with ?cool? phrases written in luminous colours ? I thought human beings were able to control their excitement for bright colours after the age of two ? Jamie Oliver, the verbal bending of the end of every sentence that makes it sound like a question even though it?s not, to make the utterance seem less authoritative, the use of the word ?rave?, Hugh Grant, AIDS, 30cm rulers that fold in half.

 

[Barciad]

Cars - the greatest pox the 20th Century bothered to come up with. Just answer me this, would our political, social, and environmental states be as messed up without cars existing?
Beer probably comes a very close second. I have just never got beer, never got it, ever.

 

[bruffterman]

Any kind of packaging you have to destory to open, (thus preventing you from being able to return the product).

DRM

Spam

This whole green/recycling/climate-change boogie man thing
