What would it be?

I would say plastic. in general anyway, i would like to keep the tv! My house is full of it. Every product i buy is wrapped in it and it is going to be around for hundreds of years. It bothers me more and more.

Sometimes i would like to invent the internet - it doesnt mix well with teenagers all the time.

And takeaway coffee sometimes gets my goat!!

Any others???

Chewing gum. Totally foul, disgusting and pointless habit that annoys everyone around you.

Ski-ing. Bad for the environment and also very dangerous.

Cars, ditto, but rather more useful so won't uninvent those.

Games consoles
They cause nothing but upset in our house

Not uninventing exactly, but I don't think cars should physically be able to go over 70mph.

Other than that, pornography, drum and base, the Conservative party, heroin, Jeremy Clarkson.

Social media.

Smartphones.
