    Windows 10.
    We must all have wiped our memories of Windows Vista, the greatest steaming pile ever.

    Automatic handbrakes in cars.
    My experience with them was horrendous.
    I traded in my car last month for another make that has a real handbrake, and it also has a CD player. :)

    The placing on a perch and subsequent adulation of the likes of the Kardashian's.

    Zero talent, 100% coordinated manipulation.


    Well there's a sucker born every minute...:rolleyes:

    Windows 10 is greatest Windows OS ever. Windows 8.1 was also really good however the original 8.0 was a disaster (way worse than Vista IMO).

    Computers replacing people on customer service lines

    I bought a HP laptop/tablet type thing in about 2007 that had Vista on it.

    This particular laptop (TX 1000) had an underlying issue that when it was over worked, the screen would die (it got hot and the cooling module would separate and shut down the screen due to over heating).

    The trouble was, simply running vista was enough to overheat the thing and kill it!! Used to run for about 3/4 minutes and then pack up!!

    Steaming (literally) pile of Sh1te!!

    Ill only buy a mobile if it has fm radio.
    Spoke to someone in the know before and was told all phones have fm capability but its not activated because there,s money in apps for radios,not sure if its true but it makes sense.

    A banana slicer. Piece of plastic shaped like a banana so you don't use a knife for all of two seconds to slice a very slice able piece of fruit.

    False tits.

    I for one was perfectly happy with the real "tit shaped" version, who the hell wants two half basketballs with nipples stuck on?

    Current Alcohol sales law.

    If I get up to do my weekly shopping on a Sunday morning, I cannot buy alcohol until after the magical time of 12:30 pm.

    After that time, i can buy what I want.

    Makes no difference to any problem drinker, but major pain in my a***

    I’ll get the ball rolling...

    DAB radio - minimal range, terrible sound quality,

    MG’s with plastic bumpers - doesn’t really need an explanation,

    Even in the UK, I have found DAB to be shocking. During a 4 hour drive from London to the SW, I found the FM/RDS to have a more stable signal. Internet Radio makes it pretty much a none use.

    My stupid things...

    Re sealable packs. Either never resealable, or the seal is ripped to shreds when opening for the first time.

    child proof medicine bottles.... that most adults cannot open..

    Hands free soap dispensers. My hands are about to be cleaned, no matter what I just touched.

    I don't want someone else's piss or **** on my hands whether I'm about to clean them or not
