Sat-Nag GPS Takes You on a Long Annoying Trip to Nowhere

Every once in a while, a product comes along that is so utterly baffling that you begin to question whether or not society has stopped evolving. The Sat-Nag GPS unit is one of those products. I say "GPS," but in reality, the Sat-Nag is completely non-functional as a navigation system. What it does manage to do is annoy everyone in the vehicle with phrases like: "I know you’re a man, but it’s been 35 minutes now, so can you please admit you’re lost and ask someone the way?"; and "In 100 metres turn left. No right, err, no left. Sorry, I never can tell my left from my right." More »

Sound Gadgets Get On Your Nerves When Darkness Falls

These little gadgets are perfect for really really annoying your house mates: flip one on and conceal it somewhere, and until it's dark it does nothing. When the lights are off the fun starts, as the box starts to emit either the distant sounds of dripping water or a barking dog. Of course, your victim will turn the lights on to hunt down the problem, and the box falls silent. Brilliant. We love them, in a very seven-year-old kid amused by whoopee cushion and fart-powder kinda way. Available for about $10 each. [Red Ferret]

The Gun Operated Alarm Clock was a good conceptual design, but the Laser Target Alarm Clock has two things that its predecessor lacks. First off, it is vastly more challenging (and therefore annoying). Second (and most importantly) this device is an actual product. As you might have guessed, in order to turn the alarm clock off in the morning, you have to hit the bullseye with the included handheld laser gun. F that S. [Product Page via TFTS]

Mind Molestor - For the Price of a D-Cell, You Can Piss People Off

The name alone is spectacular enough for anyone to love, but what exactly does it do to piss people off? Simple. Emits a loud, obnoxious beeping noise every 3 minutes until shut off. Due to it's size consisting of a 9V battery and some very small circuitry, it's easy to hide and will make everyone hate you. Probably the next best thing to beer. More »
