What's The Most Annoying First World Problem You Are Still Waiting on…

As tech makes our lives easier and easier, the little incoveniences that are left just get more glaring by contrast. Sure, I don't have to use a chamber pot but sometimes my magical pocket computer that knows practically everything gets uncomfortably warm when I'm using to to play GTA III and that's annoying. » 3/23/13 3:00pm 3/23/13 3:00pm

Musical doorbells are annoying enough, but what if you gave your visitors the freedom to express themselves creatively?

Mind Molestor - For the Price of a D-Cell, You Can Piss People Off

Due to it's size consisting of a 9V battery and some very small circuitry, it's easy to hide and will make everyone hate you. Probably… » 10/05/05 4:20pm 10/05/05 4:20pm
