The Internet and social media - they have caused, or magnified, a lot of mental health problems, extremism and grooming, jealousy and dissatisfaction, unnecessary consumerism and so on.

I have to say I agree. I think Men with Microphones were created purely to kill off the human race

The recorder.

Oh, I agree with this one! Little girl next door 'accompanies' her dad playing his guitar, same tune over and over again.

Charming. Not.

Mine is fucking drum kits.

I keep earplug manufacturers in business.

The notion that women shouldn’t have any body hair. Fucking bizarre.

Absolutely. Been displaying my pits and legs as nature intended since I lost all the fucks I had to give, about 5/6 years ago. 😁
