Default Stuff you wish they'd never bothered inventin

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.
