    The Most Annoying Innovations… you wish they never came about

    Top of my list is the smartphone, not because of them per se but it's the users who are mainly not smart.

    May the fleas from a thousand camels bums infest Joseph Shivers and his god forsake innovation Lycra. The productivity I've lost and trouble I've gotten in to with numerous girlfriends over the years is countless. Damn stuff is even making me go blind!!!

      You don't have to wear it 24/7, and you could get the correct size, getting a tighter fit doesn't enhance anything!

        the amount of spam and calls you get from your energy supplier to get one is incredible. They are not smart, I know how to manage my household energy consumption best and do not need this invasion of my privacy

          I haven't ever been asked about one. When you buy something from someone, it's not an invasion of your privacy for them to know about it.

            It's not me wearing it that is the problem to be fair but certainly some good feedback there thank you.

              The best answer to being caught admiring a young lady rocking Lycra is "I was thinking how hot you would look in that" it even works some time.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Exactly, and if you always wear them and constantly cycle in them, I imagine they turn from budgie smugglers to wren smugglers!
