Humans Most Pointless Invention?

starbelgrade

Some inventions are really just f*cking stupid. You'd wonder how anybody wasted their time coming up with them - yet also how they became so bloody popular. The wheel, yes, the lightbulb, yes... but what about the pointless ones like plastic things that you can microwave eggs in?

What would you nominate as the most pointless?

I nominate air fresheners. Air smells fine to me. Rooms sometimes stink. If they do, I open a window. If the bathroom smells, the last thing I want to smell is a mix of sh*t & "freshly scented pine needles".

And then there's the carpet fresheners. Yep, like I spend a lot of time going around smelling the f*cking carpet... and when it gets hoovered, the last thing I'm goind to do is throw a load of white powder over it just to give my hoover another load of crap to suck up.

Yep, air fresheners.

George Foreman Grill.
Most houses have one which has been used approximately four times then it's back to the full fat fry off the pan.

And some form of home gym equipment we all think we're going to use but really masquarades as a clothes hanger in the spare room.

I think egg slicers are pretty pointless - why can't you just use a knife? Also, egg piercers. The OP has already mentioned plastic containers for microwaving eggs in, leading me to conclude that there are a lot of pointless egg-related paraphernalia out there

The useless invention has been raised to an art form in Japan, where it goes under the heading Chindōgu. Examples from this page include the Butter Stick, a grass toilet seat, and training wheels for high-heeled shoes. :cool:

Yeah, what is it about eggs? I used to work in a restaurant and we had this thing for frying eggs that you would place over an egg to keep the egg-white in a perfect circle, and stop it running all over the pan.

Then they pop them in the top of an unfinished bottle of wine. The arse lube helps the plug to go into the bottle easier & also gives a nice "earthy" aroma to the wine.
