Your Most Hated Product?

My most hated consumer product has got to be Blu-Ray disks and players.
It pisses me off to wait 5 minutes before rented Blu-Ray movies start, while the player contacts Sony over the Internet to see if I've copied the disk. Meanwhile half the kids in the US have already downloaded the content for free.
Blu-Ray disks can have decent sound if you've got the right hi-fi, but even on very large TVs I don't think the picture is noticeably better than a $35 progressive scan DVD player that's been properly set up.
To make things worse, if you rent regular DVDs these days you usually have to sit through 5 minutes of bogus "you don't know what you're missing without Blu-Ray" ads.
Can you name a worse product than Blu-Ray?

Easily my new phone charger. Lost my original one and the new one from CVS looks like it walked through a war zone and I've only had it for 2 days!! The flippin wires are already showing. This is a piece of shite.
