1. Scotchloks.
And similar IDC style devices.

definition-
A multifunctional device designed to encourage amateur electrcial shenanigans and facilitate creating wiring damage, short circuits, and inserting inappropriate lengths of cable that ought to be skipped.
Caution. An inadvertent side effect is that systems may work normally. For now.
Until A. New owner gets it. B. current owner is in some remote location devoid of telephones, cell phone signal, or raincoat. C. Everything goes dark at the mot station.

- Money
- Houses with no wheels
- Borders
- Grant aid to people who don’t need any
- Estate agents
- Social control.. (takes in quite a few areas that.. without being non-PC)
- People who are PC
- Pig sh*t/rotting seaweed
- People who buy second homes in nice little villages which they will never visit, and in the process price young families who actually live there out of the housing market.
- Headlinings/heater blower motors/cracked manifolds
-Australians
- Banks
- Gardens
- People who die (unless they are on this list.)
- Industrial revolution
- Einstein
- Rain
- Mobile phones
- Plastic
- Lawyers

- Anything which interferes with natural selection (like the benefits system)
- Curriculum
- People who promote mediocrity in the name of profit

I'd say you're a grumpy old man who needs more sleep, but I couldn't agree with the list more!
