The Nuclear Bomb, Atomic or Hydrogen. No nuclear bombs = no radioactive fall out = no nuclear energy = no massive amounts of long life radioactive waste.

Down side is no nuclear deterent = World War 3.

Pegs that are plastic with springs, they get brittle and then ping in your face while you are happily putting out the washing, you go out unmarked you come back with a whip lashed face...............pah useless!!!!!

Too bloomin right.

Me- things with irritating beeps like when you lock or unlock a car remotely, even car alarms themselves as no-one takes any notice especially as most are false alarms , and watches that bleep on the hour.

Annoying ring tones on phones.

General extraneous noise!

That impossible to open plastic packaging that covers some items. I've tried scissors, knives, saws, side cutters, pliers and even a blow torch to try to get the goods out!

I don't like socks either, I rarely wear them.

I think it would be a good idea to un-invent cigarettes. The amount of times I've given up....

I'll expand Jezer's ringtones to mobile phones period. Hate them! Hate them! Hate them!
Now everywhere in the world is an office whether you want it to be or not! Anytime is work time again if you want it to be or not.

Printers. Bring back the typing pool.

Religion - All types the world would be a safe place without it.
