Default Pointless inventions

My other half came home from work today with something so amazing, so spellbinding its going to totally revolutionise our lives. Yes thats right......its an AUTOMATIC BIN no longer will I have to go through the ball aching chore of having to stand on the pedal at the bottom. So I say thankyou autobin inventors, I salute you


Ok but seriously 2 things:

1. Die you sneeky, autobin inventing barstards for making my girlfriend spend £75 on a fecking bin
2. Why can't I stop playing with it guaranteed i'll have broken it by the weekend lol

Anyone got any other utterly useless inventions lying around the house? We've got a battery powered fork for eating pasta with somewhere, a gift off somebody....still in the wrapper

TBH, we have to use those things in our lab (chemistry student) and the things are the bane of our lives, more often than not they dont open when you want them to, and you end up having to prise open the buggers, whilst wishing they had just left the pedal on there. Rant Over, as you can tell i also dont think much of them. Along the same lines as your pasta thing, one of my flatmates had an electric salt and pepper grinder, what is wrong with having to just grind it yourself

Don't blame the inventor. I hope you slapped the girlfriend round the head with a wet salmon!

Haha I haven't got any of them yet. I was a little unsure of the returns policy if you weren't happy with them

All the fish are in the freezer, I thought that might be a tad extreme

The treadmill. Why spend however much on a treadmill, when you can step outside your front door and do exactly the same for free?
