I agree that Curlers are useless, but they do have cool shoes - one slides, one sticks! Genius!

I strongly lean to the beer in plastic concept; however the worse is the silly "arthritis friendly" pill bottles that take twice as much effort to open.
BTW, Danish cartoons are GREAT. Bring on the cheese and cookies!

Those friggin plastic anti-theft devices they wrap CD's (and about everything else) in.
They landscape is dotted with scars from the lacerations these things cause.

Not so sure about that. Now, if only someone would invent the light that's turned on automatically when a woman opens her handbag. That invention would be worth millions!

I agree, I detest those things. And sometimes they're used for the cheapest things -- I had to go through one of them to open a wrist rest pad that cost $5-10.
Someone else could make a fortune selling a device designed to open them easily.

The qwerty keyboard layout.
Short Message Service.
Piercing (well, I do like earrings, maybe I have double standards).
Football (at least soccer is extremely stupid, don't know about American football).

We men need outlets for our stupidity. And bridge will only take us part way there.
Isn't football better than the alternative, hitting each other with sticks and rocks?

Beer served in polystyrene cups at the cricket, truly awful.
Regarding the qwerty keyboard, anyone noticed how typewriter can be written completely on the top line of the keyboard, always heard and believed the rumour that this was to help the salesmen sell them in the early days by showing how easy it was to use.

You should be glad you don't have to deal with qwertz layout (and write code or TeX with it).

We spanish put our stupid special letter in a corner at least, sure you won't find any special character like '¨' or '@', but at least all the letters are where they should.
