Shit that should not exist-- inanimate objects edition
Darkbluerabbit:
We should really just stick traffic circles in a lot of intersections. I see no reason why they are not much more common. You come to traffic circle, you enter traffic circle, you exit traffic circle at appropriate point. No stopping or wondering if you should stop. They're not great for really busy intersections, but in residential areas they are awesome.

Oh god yes. I hate these... So much. I've never NOT spent at least three minutes fucking with these things. And when you're reaching around a TV, covering yourself in dust trying to screw something in THAT YOU CAN'T EVER SEE. Urgh.
I'm gonna go ahead and say:
And hell, this in general:

Can I change my answer? Because my new answer is traffic circles.
It's like Russian Roulette. With cars.
Or maybe like playing Musical chairs, but the loser has to play Russian Roulette.
Seriously, I got zero education on these bastards when I was in Driver's Ed, they just started popping up a few years ago here, as far as I know. They pretty much always sneak up on me, so I'm trying to figure this thing out at the last second, wondering "Okay, who has the right of way, again? Are there two lanes in this thing? Is that an inner lane or, like, an inside shoulder? Wait, which direction was I going again?
Traffic circles. It's like they were designed to torment me. I hereby rename Traffic Circles as "Centrifuges of Death!"

I am starting to think you just might hate good ideas. As long as we're into declarations, I hereby declare your driving skill set to be legacy tech.
FourNineFoxtrot:
I distrust newfangled contraptions that the kids these days come up with. With their damn loud "rock and roll" music and their long hair and these confounded "Games on Video" or whatever the devil they are. Get a job, you lousy hippies!
*shakes fist at young people* Get off my lawn! Get a haircut! Stop thinking up new, scary ideas!
Also, what the hell is "legacy tech", and why should this be insulting or offensive? I'm aware that my motor vehicle operational competence is being called into question, I just don't know what the hell you said after that.
Do... do I need to state that as a more emphatic declaration, prefaced by the word "hereby"? I don't know what the rules are. Normally, when somebody impugns my driving skills I just shake my fist angrily at them and make broadly generalized statements about the worthlessness of their generation.
