What little thing would you make illegal just because it pisses you off?

Can I please make those ridiculously inaccurate online language translators illegal? "Hello, how are you" should not be translated to the equivalent of "I ate a shoulder bag."

 

[Mel217]

Oh, and overly complicated TV's. Because this could happen.

Spoiler: language

I have found Google Translate to be pretty accurate. It's not infallible, but considering people's language and misspellings, I'm usually pretty pleased with it.

I'll give it a shot, thank you!
Ever tried Babelfish? It's entertainment at least..."I need this report by Friday" translates to "I am enjoying the many blue jeans" or something. It's insane.

Making blatant grammatical errors on social media.

Making blatant grammatical errors on social media.

I'll take it one step further and add cryptic, dramatic, attention seeking posts. Ugh.

 

[Mel217]

Aaaand let's just go ahead and make those pop-up videos on weather and news websites that slow down or freeze up your system, take forever to load and won't X off.
I can read! If I want your video I'll push play

This'll probably be unpopular but I hate it when, around the holiday season, people use the excuse "It's Christmas" to allow other people (or kids) to do really, really stupid stuff. "Oh, our 16 year old was caught drunk driving. Oh well, we won't punish her, it's Christmas!" "Oh, let Grandpa burn down the toolshed, it's Christmas!" "Oh, let the kids sky dive off the roof. It's Christmas!" And so on.

Speaking of, I hate Christmas cards. There, I said it.
ETA: I should clarify; I hate phoney cards from people that never bother to call you back or email you back all year.

Also, you know what really grinds my gears? People from the 19th century. Why don't they get with the freakin' program?

The expression 'My bad'. Irritating! I've long made peace with that charming piece of doggerel 'Know what I'm sayin'?'

Urban Dictionary: you know what i'm sayin

But this flippant insipid non-apology continues to burn my biscuits.

Sorry folks, I'm a little edgy. (Sorry!!! See?! Was that so hard? It's one word!)

Waaa! Baby sad!

My Bad:
This expression makes light of a mistake — rather than a sincere apology, “my bad” is the verbal equivalent of a shrug.

I'll yell "my bad" if I drop something that doesn't break, but you're right--saying "my bad" when a sincere apology is warranted is an insulting slap in the face.
I still haven't found peace with "know what I'm sayin'?", especially when addressing someone of some kind of authority.

 

[Mel217]

Substituting "asked" for "axed", only because I my mind immediately goes here

And I immediately do this

And then they're all

I agree. There are some people who can't say they're sorry. They just can't do it, even when they KNOW they have wronged a person or a group of people. And that includes people who claim to be "professionals" that you would think would have proper manners.
