Lego! I'm sick of it! Prising it out of my toddler's mouth, mopping up the tears when my 5 year old's impossibly long car falls apart. Breaking up the fights when one child wrecks the other's creation. Standing barefooted on a microscopically tiny yet painfully sharp bit that got left behind.

And I can't make ANYTHING with them. And they're EVERYWHERE AngryAngry

Not so 'lighthearted' (sorry) but the AK47. It's the bane of the majority world.

Yes yes and another yes.

I suffered terrible itching for months and months on the days I was having a period and couldn’t understand for the life of me why. It was always fucking ultra and their perfumes for no reason stench of chemicals. Horrendous.

The printer. What a prick.
Every time I approach it I feel dread because I know it's going to fuck up.
So many ways in which it can go wrong. I'm sure it thinks them up as I'm on the approach. 'Oh I wont bother to connect to the laptop today even though I usually do!' Or 'Oh I don't recognise the paper type!' Or 'Oh I've run out of ink!' And my personal favourite 'I've run out of magenta ink so I can't be bothered to print a BLACK AND WHITE document.'

I like lego OP but with an 18mth old and a 4 yr Old I have to agree with you. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve confiscated it.

While I’m here can I also throw in a light sabre that was purchased from Blackpool at the weekend. I didn’t realise until we got in the car that it also played the crazy frog song Angry

what I hate about scented sanitary wear is that the smell is so cloying and so obvious. So you can smell who among your office mates has their period.

Thank God for the implant I say.

Crisps. And coke. Because without them I'd be about 40% thinner.

The sex industry, all of it. From prostitution to porn, to stripping right on through to sex chat lines. The world would be so much better without this objectification and commodification of women’s bodies

Definitely agree with playdoh!
Leaded petrol. I know it's mostly phased out now, but the damage has been done.
Felt tip pens. They dry out, the tips get damaged very easily and you have to spend ££ on proper washable ones or my whole lounge would be murky shades of green and purple by now.
