Things that should never have been invented

[Homewardbound2022]

Magnifying face mirrors

Tramatised after turning mine around from regular side to 7x.
God knows what other horrors I'd see with an even stronger one.

Nits and bedbugs

‘Cats created themselves as pets’😽

Sellotape. Bastardy stuff...

Basketballs.

I've had to listen to thunk thunk thunk every day for hours since the school holidays started. It is genuinely driving me mad.

(the council, in their infinite wisdom, put a court up directly outside of my house so no matter what I do I can fucking hear it. Can't even wear headphones because I need to be able to hear the phone/door and they give me a headache after a while.)

I see that and raise you cling film!

Internet.

I realise that is a bit stupid as I’m on the internet.
I meant in the context that we are all available all the time, there is less interaction, stalking and bullying are easier. Children and young people post and it’s there forever to come back and bite them on their arse. Porn is so accessible and more extreme as normal.

Ironing

Sorry, left out :- hospital car park fees, prescription charges, student loan, inheritance tax, cycle lanes, getting rid of the old Routemaster bus - Livingstone you bastard ! , camera vans, eco protestors ,

Nuclear bombs

Viagra

Heroin

MSG

Sandysandwich you need some mini tights pop on things.

Magic sand

Balloons and in particular helium balloons that people let go of!!!

Seconding artificial grass.

Social media
Nuclear weapons
Reality TV
Donald Trump
Elon Musk
Religion

I know this is a facile, obvious answer, but, religion. Nothing is more divisive. Nothing is responsible for the oppression & subjugation of more women. Nothing causes more wars, more bloodshed, more guilt, more pain.

Fast fashion.

Any forms of fictional tv shows and films, then also all music.

Lack of scientific research, e.g. Don't research x as your playing God etc

Yes, internet

The Sun newspaper. It's a national embarrassment.

Modified car exhausts. I'm sick of the sound of them - like a trail of fireworks exploding down the street. They wake me up every morning. How are the little shits allowed to get away with it?

@Hawkins001 making a late entry on behalf of the Taliban.

Scented sanitary towels

Noisy motorbikes
Tinnitus
Tomatoes
Spiders

Money
