I agree about the packing peanuts - they always make a mess...

...and roundabouts - whoever came up with those ought to be slapped

My Boss and I have this idea for a coffee shop when we get sick of the scale buisness,we will call it JFC,Just ****ing Coffee,there will be cream and sugar by the door,add it yourself.
The larger markets will get a JFCAAPD,Just ****ing Coffee And A Plain Donut,for folks who didn't grab some food from home.

Lots of ideas....the tire monitor gizmo..which has been mentioned been replacing them in my Tahoe appearently the battery in them goes dead.

How about the states that require front license plates? I read somewhere that depending on the number of registered cars the savings would be in the millions. Most cars today are not designed for front license plates.

The woeful penny that now cost almost twice as much as its worth to make.

Ventless gasoline jugs, or any other green-tard invention.

Fake margarine, or so-called vegetable oil spread.

Automatic door locks on newer vehicles. Seems they don't want to unlock when you park the car most of the time.
I'm glad they did away with those stupid motorized seat belts.

I just re-set the tire press warning, good to go ..without them.

We no longer use the penny in Can, everything is rounded up or down to the nearest nickel.
So now when I travel to the U.S I just leave the pennies with whoever is trying to give them to me, they are useless.

computers in cars.
Breath-a-lyzers that you keep in the car to test yourself before driving. Would anybody really buy and use one of these.

His and hers individual climate control settings on new cars. Wives usually just set it where they want it anyways.

I was going to say "The Bass "O" Matic" ,does that count as a kitchen item?

The one thing that flippen' gets me pissed is the auto up/down windows on my wife's Toyota Avalon. If I touch the down button to crack the window an inch or so, it starts to go ALL the way down,so I hit the switch in the up direction to stop it,and it then continues ALL the way up! The window ends up going up down for 15 seconds as I swear at this POS "luxury" item.

Headlights that stay on after the engine is turned off and interior lights that stay on after the door is closed. More annoying crap IMO.

Anti lock brakes- I cant think of a single instance where I have ever needed them (even in snow),but it seems like a sensor goes bad on them on EVERY car and truck I own.

I like the roundabouts.They certainly make more sense than stopping for a stop sign when there's no opposing traffic. It's the people that can't figure out how they work that are the problem.
