What I mean is what type of device do you find the most frustrating? For me, its the mobile phone. (I did search this, but like 100 threads came up and I couldn't be bothered to check all of them out, so I just went it.)

ipods. Everyone has them, especially in high school. No matter what my teachers said, half the class would sit there listening to music instead of paying attention.

These were always the same kids who failed the finals, using the "you never taught us this" excuse. Funny, when the teacher was teaching you this, all you said was "when are we going to use this? This is bullshit! I'm not gonna learn this!"

Dumbasses.

XBox 360, because I prefer Sony's big black brick and the 360 doesn't seem to be much durable.

Tasers, when they are used on me.

Otherwise, mobiles.

The little button on the traffic lights.

Probably the 3rd most useless invention in the universe after the Imac and Iphone3G

push the button, hey guess what you wait anyway sometimes longer.

just phones. I mean if someone leapt right up in your face and repeated "talk to me" quickly until you acknowledged them would be pretty annoying it's exactly the same with phones.

smoke detectors...more specifically smoke detectors above the toaster.

Why? People have access to the internet that way.

Apple Macs, I love their designs and see myself owning one in the future, but sometimes I want to throw them out of the window. (I work with Macs in college)

I have to agree on mobile phones. When technology becomes fashionable people lose the point. Technology is something we use to make life easier, not to become 'popular'. Who decided phones should be fashionable like clothing? It should be a bonus, not a deciding factor to buying a phone.

Also, Mp3 Players in phones is something I hate, if only for the chavs at the back of the bus or in shopping centers blaring their annoying music out so everyone can hear it.

What an auspicious beginning to your very short stay on the Escapist.

I am torn, I love cars more than anything except my girlfriend, but at the same time, I hate them whenever I am unable to repair them...

Still, I will agree with anything Apple, especially the iPoop and iPhone...

Dentist drills drive me crazy! The sounds is worse than nails on a chalk board, and it brings back some very painful memories.

Erm something a bit more obvious machine that I find annoying is the gun. It's so annoying when people point them at you and start demanding you give them your own personal possessions. I think we'd be better off without them.

I hate bluetooth mics for consoles the pitch they can pick up on those things you think that they were made for dogs or whales.

I understand and concur. Their business practices always seemed a mite skeevy to me, and everyone who owns one of their products treats it like a cult icon from On High. I've used an iPhone. I've owned an iPod. They're not that special, and the gross price increase isn't worth the flashy logo and extra i.

But the most annoying device would have to be smoke alarms. Necessary, yes, but I've never met one that didn't have a hair trigger that got set off by such terrible heat dangers as percolating coffee or Febreeze. If you want to live your life in peace, you have to negate their entire purpose for existing and take their batteries out.

They make an excellent baseball, though. Or, well, I'm assuming at least, based on my all-too-quickly bricked iPod's performance.

That's definitely not a machine by definition.

If you live in the country then a Muck Spreader, especially if you're stick behind one driving down a long country lane.

What could be more annoying than a slow moving huge bucket of shit?

The ones that can talk are pretty funny though.

Definitely computers, I'm good with them, and they're still unpredictable as all hell.

I guess, but then again, who pays for [Canadian] Medical stuff? Oh yeah, us, via taxes.

I find most gadgetry (Pagers, Bluetooth, Those Holo-screen goggle things, portable DVD players, Wireless Headphones, iTems) quite useless when I could be a utilitarian with a 2 year old Cell phone that does the job perfectly. Not that I have one.

I'm not an Apple fan either. I hated the Mac vs PC ads (though it gave us the Marvel Vs DC spoof versions, which are hilarious.)
Hmm... do I find any machines annoying though? Only when they don't work properly really.
Fire alarms I suppose, I know they are necessary, but is testing them at 6am? (Living in student accomodation at uni, they had fire drills every term at that time. It is not a nice way to be woken up. They also tested them every Tuesday morning, the one morning I got to sleep in because I had no lectures til the afternoon. That thing was loud.)
