I vote for the ever-breaking, sometimes unopenable, hard plastic CD case.

That hard plastic crap that everything is wrapped in these days. You damn near need a chainsaw to get the item out.

Vehicle cup holders. The relation ship between them, and vessel manufacturers could not be more polar.

WTF are you talking about 'function over form'? There is nothing functional about relying upon complicated hydraulics-based system, rather than the smart ploy of ossification used by almost exactly every other male of an animal species on the planet. This dependence upon hydraulics has led to several idiotic work arounds, from pumps to little purple pills. And a well known group of numbnuts call this intelligent design......    |

Sounds like someone might be bitter about certain hydraulic malfunctions. NTTAWWT Yeah, I though the same thing. Nothing a little **** couldn't help. Beer in bottles that doesn't have a twist of cap..... Only a minor setback. Back in the day, we'd use lighters, seat belts, other beer bottles etc.  |
