What about a product can irritate you?




What about a product can irritate you, other than the sound?

I thought of this today while attemting to install a new pair of cables. The cables came out of the package in the shape of a Slinky and no amount of bending them, shaping them, stretching them or otherwise trying to reshape them would do any good... they are permanently shaped like a big telephone cord.

I find cables that aren't installation-friendly to be incredibly irritating.

Do you have a pet peeve?

For George with the ics problem---Did we mix up the contact cleaner with the super glue??? Recessed connectors of any kind--esp rf screw ones that Mr. Big Fingers hates. You know what burns my ass???___ (visual of me holding an arm down and my palm horizontal)--A flame about 'so-high'.
Plastic wood! Any poor design choice. Regarding you cables - try using a hair dryer to straigten them out (assuming they have a vinyl casiing). Should do the trick.

Locking interconnects that screw so tight you damage the rca jack trying to loosen them.
Poor design/location of speaker binding posts even on high $$$$ speakers-
really makes you wonder about what you don't see on the inside of the cabinet.
Also on some amps.

Massive amps that don't have dual binding posts for bi-wiring.

Volume controls that aren't sensitive enough.

I could name names, but I'll digress...
