As the topic says, what things do you feel are designed to piss you off the most. For me I believe shopping carts are built to not go where you want to. And for some reasons I believe Windows was made to annoy users.

RROD if you ask me. Also, things that need batteries. You can never find the right type or if you do, it doesnt work anyway

Those damned DVD sets that have plastic wrap AND those goddamned stickers to prevent theft on every DVD included in the set. Then when you try to open the box you realize you have to also pop open two little plastic tabs before actually opening the dvd case.

interesting fact, microsoft ACTUALLY built uac into vista to specifically annoy users to encourage companies to get their drivers signed by microsoft (microsoft only signs drivers if they are stable enough, and unsigned, unstable drivers are the biggest cause of issues with windows).

Those plastic clamshell cases. I bought a tool designed to open the bloody things once, but I bet you can guess what it can in.

The plastic cases that hold the delicious treasure that is known as video game accessories.

I cut my hand five times trying to get my headset out!

Windows, and the packaging some types of drinks come in. Aside from being un-openable, I sometimes have to puncture the package and make a hole in it to let the air go out; not doing so will result in a stream variating from small drops to a waterfall when trying to pour some of the drink in a glass.

The search bar and the bastard offspring that worship it like some kind of messiah. Seriously, I hate those cancerous fucknuggets and I hope they would all dive under a car.

what do you have against windows mr mac? anyways mine would be left 4 dead 2 started working on it right as the first one released and then they dont provide content they promised for left 4 dead or wait so long to release it that it doesnt really matter. i think they started an early sequel just because they wanted to piss me off.

Fake pockets on just about anything, especially trousers. "I wonder if I have a tissue in my pock- I DON'T HAVE ANY POCKETS".

Also, clothing that's made and marketed for fat people. Like, I get it, I'm a walking example of what you become when you don't do sports so I am to blame for my figure, but why does someone in the fashion industry want me to walk in trousers that slip down to display my crack and my handles?

I think that most clothes nowadays are a load of ass anyway. Poor materials that break easily, increasing amount of ridiculous cuts, lots of useless trinkets and stuff sown into clothes (like those FAKE ORNAMENTAL POCKETS), and ridiculous prices for what count as rags.

Edit: Oh yeah, and batteries that you're not supposed to change. Like the internal battery in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

In what way does RROD not fit this description. Obviously it was designed this way or ms would have made it so newer consoles dont get it

It is a fault, they didn't intend for it to be there, and as such it was not DESIGNED.

That there thin transparent film that comes in rolls. Not only does it only stick to itself, and bunches up when you try to cut off a piece, but most of it will never stick to whatever you're keeping food in anyway, making it completely useless for anything other than annoying the bejezus out of a person.

I went to the DMV for the first time in my life yesterday... I can already tell I'll being going through hell every time I have to renew my license.

Oh, that and Men.

Also possibly online checkouts. "When did I put that in my cart? That IS my credit card number! Why do I have to send my info again? I just want to pre-order this stupid game!"

My ex-girlfriend.

Seriously, probably agree with the underwear thing, mine always seem to migrate to the left so they're really tight on the right.

The Soul Calibur games. I must be one hell of a masochist, because I KEEP ON BUYING THEM.

Nothing has ever, ever, made me as angry as those games can. Which, considering what an naturally angry person I am, is quite an achievement.
