LG TV remote controls that require you to jam down the button repeatedly to get any kind of result on the TV. You know that really pushing hard on it isn't going to help in the long run, but it won't work if you don't.

North Face Goretex waterproof shoes that leak on your big toe after 6 months of wearing. Rubbish

Suspension forks where the bearing surface is an integral part of the structure and thus prohibatively expensive to replace. (ie: almost all of them)

paddleships

the paddle does have advantages such as being able to use with quite a shallow draft but for me the propellor will always be a more efficient means of aquatic propulsion

I'm going with the side hinging tailgate on my Rav 4.

The old Hope quick releases with the ball end that made an uncomfortable pressure point when you tried to use them.

the up side always has a USB three prong logo on it
See above regarding Dell front ports
That's a Dell problem, not a USB design problem.

Same as my Kenwood car head unit. It's impossible to tell easily which way round the cable needs to be when inserting it.

While that's certainly true, somebody had to actually invent the the propellor first, unfortunately, paddles came first, for very obvious reasons.

String. What the F*** is the point of string? It has no structural properties; if you tie a knot in it it WILL work loose; it breaks if you look at it sideways; and to make matters worse you can NEVER find any when you want it!!

I would have to disagree, having recently lashed together two skin on frame kayaks! Cordage is great.

The Display Port on my Lenovo W500 which doesn't carry audio however, is the biggest oversight in the digital age. Cockbobbins.
