Some inventions are just downright annoying! I bet a lot of you are thinking cellphones, right? LOL I know my mom is always complaining about how people text too much, hahaha. Me, I love it. But anyways....... forget cellphones.....

Name one invention, gadget, thing, whatever you wanna call it, name one thing you wish would just go away!

Do you find this a difficult question? Makes you think, eh?

Okay, I'll start...this is really kinda far-fetched, but I swear, I wish I could make *****/DIP/SNUS whatever you want to call it, go away! I hate that stuff, and just cringe when I see men spitting in public! UGH! It's disgusting and I live in a very rural/countrified area, a lot of southerners here who like to hunt, rebel yell, drive pickup trucks and wear camo. So a lot of guys (and a few women!) around here can be found idly spitting on the sidewalks I walk upon, as if it is their duty to do so.

My first encounter with the stuff: My great-great aunt, or some far reaching relative I'd only met once, lived way in the woods in GA and bless her heart, she was so hillbilly, hahaha, she'd dip that stuff and carry around a baby jar to spit in. I was a teenager when I met her for the first and only time and thought it was the most sickening thing I'd ever seen. You can imagine that as a young teenage girl I was about to scream and freak out about something so darn disgusting!! I mean, SHRIEEEEEEEEK, right?!! Well one day, I had to sit sanwhiched in the backseat of my parents car between her and another relative, and the whole time I kept hearing this wet squirting nasty plopping sound as she sat there in our luxury car and spat into her little jar. I thought I was gonna die from the sound, and the smell and the sight of that nasty putrid visvous brown liquid in her little jar. I was scared to death she was gonna drop it on me! I swear I lost a few braincells that day from a lack of oxygen because I am pretty sure I was holding my breath the whole time we were in the car.



YOUR TURN! Someone please name something not so gross, hahahah

Heelys, I think that is what those shoes with a wheel in the heel of the shoe is called. I can't stand parents that let their kids "skate" all through the store in them. It is a toy and should be outside not where there are a lot of people that have to dodge the kid or be knocked down.

I have a bunch:

SUVs
motorboats
skidoos
weedwhackers
leaf blowers
wind chimes

Weedwackers? LOL Why is that? Funny, I was JUST outside using mine! That is too funny! Is it because of the sound?

Debbie Meyer's 'Green Bags'. They just don't work!

Good one! I didn't think they worked; I always wondered what was so special about those bags--did they have tiny holes in them or something?

Yes - it's the noise. The neighbors on both sides of us are in love with their lawns. Between the two of them, there's noisy lawn equipment running during daylight hours almost every day of the week. They don't give themselves (or us) any time to actually enjoy being outdoors.

Good answers so far, you guys! Remember, name just ONE thing! That makes you think about it a little harder.

Viagra commercials

the telephone. I loathe the phone. I hate talking on it.

Cigarettes all the way , They are so disgusting omg I literally hate hate hate hate them...................Peace. Catherine

ME TOO! I hate it when it rings. Even if I had caller ID I'd still hate it. It's so obtrusive! And I never use my cellphone, it's an 'emergency' phone I got for free for the blind/handicapped/disadvantaged through SafeLinkWireless.com. If you are on disability or get food stamps or have a low income (forgot what the minimum was) you can get a completely free phone through SLW. They give me 67 free minutes every month, they roll over, and I never hardly use that phone. It's only for when I really need one! And because I'm usually always home, I don't need it much. But it's great to have, when I do go out! I might get bitten by a snake and need to make a 911 call out here--you never know!!!!!!!!

guns, I agree

I will agree with leagra and say viagra. I think it would not be so bad if the TV was not bombarded with those commercials.

And seriously, when are they going to come up with something that helps a woman.

Oh and one more item. Those DVD players that are made to go on the console of the car. I don't mean the ones that go in the back for the kids to watch. We went car shopping the other day and saw cars that had the dvd player in the front on the driver's side, obviously meant for the driver to watch. What the heck?

Policeman: "Sir, what were you doing when you ran off the road?"
Idiot Driver: "Ahh, I was watching Bay Watch."

loud exhausts on motorcycles and cars.........really really annoying.

Viagra? LOL You mean, the commercials? LOL I haven't actually ever seen a Viagra commerciall, I don't think! I see Cialis and what is that other one, Enzyte! LOL There is another, I can't think of it. I think the Enzyte commercials are funny. "Paul is experiencing a RISE in his popularity!" Hahahahh! Such subliminal messages, hahaha!

While we are on the topic of Viagra...........if anyone is interested in how the pharmaceutical comapanies' tactics in pushing their drugs, you should read this really good, easy, fun and FUNNY book called "Hard Sell." It was written by Viagra's #1 salesman at one time---and he tells ALL of the secrets and tactics Pfizer used to push not only their antibiotic, but also the hilarious birth of Viagra and how it affected not only the doctors, but the patients, even the ladies in the office! Viagra was initially created as a medicine to treat ANGINA---it was for men & women! But when they realized the side effects, they touted it for the men. The author said one day he walked into a doctor's office to take care of his business, and the waiting room was FULL of seniors, mostly men! And their sheepish, blushing wives, hahaha. The book is great! But you wouldn't BELIEVE how Pfizer and other companies are sooooo sneaky! Almost unethical. It's all about making the money for those companies, certainly not for treating people. Of course, they want their meds to be effective AND treat people, yes, but the end result, what they are after, is the $$$. The book really opened my eyes. Let me tell you this---- I WILL NEVER be hesitating when asking my doctor for samples of anything from now on! They have supply closets FULL of all kinds of medicines, from Viagra to boring stuff. All you have to do is ask for it.

Also, one of the ladies who worked in one doctor's office finally had enough and decided to try Viagra for herself. She came into work the next day, completely RED in the face. Not from embarassment. Although none of the girls could stop laughing....hahah...but the lady was red because it was a side effect for women! It was a huge rushing of blood to her head and face, causing her to be red! She was okay, but didn't try it again. Everybody had a good laugh.

Another doctor practically cornered up the author and begged him for a case of Viagra, instead of the usual samples he usually left in this doctor's supply closet. The doctor claimed he NEEDED it, BADDDDDDD. Not for him, but for his WIFE! Apparently, she decided to try one too, and this doctor was practically going nuts with lust, saying it had changed his wife, FOR THE BETTER! ROTFLMAO!!! So hey, you never know!

ALSO.........one more thing about Viagra that I thought was really sneaky: They purposefully re-invented the shape of it into a diamond, so that people could not easily break it, or cut it in half. Pfizer was losing money! So they made it difficult to cut it in half. Can you believe that?

Check out "Hard Sell" for a very interesting read. I got my hardback and used copy through Amazon.com marketseller, for under $1, (forget exactly how much it was) and the S&H rate for marketplace sellers is $3.99. I always buy used books through Amazon marketsellers. That was a great price for a hardback edition too! I've passed it on to mom, and then sent it to a friend in CA. It's been popular to her friends that she passed it on to!

The Internet

If I never heard of it, I would never miss it. Now it's so addicting that I don't get anything done. I can always find a site to go to. And when I'm ready to get off, I think of something else I want to check out.

Husbands - OK, that is all I was gonna type but the board said the message was too short, guess it wan'ted to know why I hate men?

Alcohol !
I would agree with guns but then I would get stabbed with a big butcher knife or bashed in the head with a bat,and well,I think I'd prefer to be shot then that,lol.
