CAPTCHA's - those awful number and letter combinations which you have to key in ‘to prove you’re not a robot’ and which I never, ever get right on the first attempt.

There were rumors at the time that Heselden committed suicide, but in a way that only serves to underscore the stupidity of the thing. There was a small vogue for them in my city a few years back, People looked like damn fools riding them. Which they must have eventually realized, as the devices aren't so hip any more.

This one (anti-masturbation device) seems especially counterproductive: it would keep you so focused on your genitalia, you'd have a difficult time thinking about anything else:

The absolute worst invention, of course, is Post Nasal Drip. The good folks at Post should have called it quits with their Grape Nuts.

The guillotine.
I suspect it led to far more executions than the inventor intended.
Made it too convenient.
Also, those fucking super tine bottle caps on pop bottles.
Who the FUCK decided to cut them down like that?
the fucking things always fall when i try to screw them on since they have no grip
I think I need to get an old bottle cap and use that for all my drink containers in use.

I remember that! An announcement was made that on a certain date in the next month a new product was going to be launched that was going to completely revolutionise transportation and was going to change the very way our cities are organised. There was all kinds of speculation about what it could possibly be. Flying cars? Safe and practical individual jet packs? Then when the day came and the new product turned out to be the Segway, what a letdown!

Also counter productive. Put it on, take it off, put it on take it off. Do that enough times you won't need to touch yourself anymore.

CAPTCHA's - those awful number and letter combinations which you have to key in ‘to prove you’re not a robot’ and which I never, ever get right on the first attempt. I don't usually have a problem getting those challenges to work right... My problem with them is, most of the time, they software doesn't work at all... I always get their basic error message: 'Can Not Contact ReCAPTCHA, Check Your Connection and try again'... Due to that POS security software, I've spent hours and hours reloading pages, checking my internet connection, using different browsers, and even different computers... and it still doesn't want to work... and then suddenly and randomly, it does work. I have NO idea what the problem is... But what's the point of using it, if it never works for the customers? I have one utility payment site that used to use a second password/challenge question and that worked just fine... but then they switched to the dreaded ReCAPTCHA, and now it's a pain... Go to paperless billing? Not as long as it takes me hours to do what I need to do online!
