Survey: Worst / Annoying Inventions ?

What are the Worst / Most Annoying Inventions ???

Two of mine ...

1) The Security Tape on DVD's

2) The Spork

Update:

I say the Spork, only because I can never use the "Fork" part of it when eating chicken...

3) Staplers that don't Staple...I mean we can send a man to the Moon...but we can;t invent a stapler that can punch through more than 5 pieces of paper...

Update 2:

Noisy Childrens toys are cool...You give them to the children of friends you secretly can't stand....

    lol yeah that security tape sucks. although i would say email spam is an annoyance that comes more often. especially if you think it's something legit and you click on it. pain in my rear.

    Hey the spork allows you to have the benefits of both a spoon and a fork.

    Schedules and alarm clocks are most annoying to me.
