Farage and that disgusting troll Katie Hopkins. Everything thats wrong with britain currently. As well as the obvious (terrorism)
technically speaking they weren't invented (unless Katie Hopkins is a social experiment - entirely possible) Pedantry is far worse
There's not much stuff that I think is actively detrimental, but much of it pointless.
I wish gossip magazines - Hello, Heat and so on hadn't been invented.
But I guess they just tap in to something already in humanity....so does it really make a difference?

the smartphone is quite possibly the worst thing ever invented.
Until the smart phone was invented, even most sci-fi writers couldn't imagine anything like it. It's one of the most impressive bits of technology ever created and it's cheap enough to almost be disposable.Something that really shouldn't have been invented is clothes-hangers. They are a complete menace. They're a nightmare to store in bulk, slow to use and demand huge amounts of vertical hanging space for clothes.
If they hadn't invented them, someone would have come up with a better solution by now.

k right off
The roundabout.
Followed by 'traffic lights installed on a roundabout'.
Our economy would blossom once everyone stopped dithering (or held in pointless queues while nothing comes through on green).
And steering wheels - we really should have moved on beyond a big circular comfort ring for the driver, getting your arms crossed up and confused...tillers or handlebars or joysticks would improve things.

Automated call-centres
Yup. I'm currently trying to get my Virfin Media BB fixed. That means going through their automated call system, which will automatically check your BB and then hang up on you.You then have to call back later when it will recognise that it's already hung up on you once. You still have to go through the automatic system to speak to a human.
The problem is the human is reading from a script and English is not their first language. They will hang up on you if you ask anything off script.
You then need to call again etc etc.
20 calls and I'm still waiting for someone to fix my BB.
