Indicators for taxis / personal music devices that can only be heard by the person with the flamin' earphones plugged into their ears / mobile phones that don't work on public transport or whilst the user is walking down the street trying to text and bumping into people.

Feel free to add to this list.

Hi TartanK....I would love someone to invent a lipstick that stays put, giving me the perfect pout until I decide to wash it off!! grin
Oh and Im with you on the mobile phone thingy...I especially think they should be banned in ALL restaurants/coffee shops etc!! When Im eating my dinner or reading my newspaper over a coffee, the last thing I want to do is listen to someones boring conversation, usually held at the top of their voice too.....aaaaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!

An observation I have made is that London has turned into a city of zombies uh oh with the mutants walking blindly down the street staring blankly at smartphones dunno

A couple of years ago I bought a mobile phone jammer not illegal to own but illegal to use, I bought it online imported from China and it comes in handy when I need to shut some loudmouth up, I turn it on and it jams all signals in a 50mtr radius grin

I would like someone to invent some sort of smoking box. Something just for the smokers on a ciggie break outside of their work place, they can sit in there and choke on their own smoke instead of blowing it out at passers by.smoking

A mobile phone that automatically adds 3 points onto the license of anyone who uses it whilst driving.

A robot that could go into work and do my job almost as well as me.

I think all of the above are possible, just need to find some kind of nerd or mad inventor to do it..... not sure where one of those may be hiding rolling on the floor laughing

Coupled with that stuff you need to do it.... oh, what is it called? I used to know...... oh, yes, I remember now, money rolling on the floor laughing

Saw this elsewhere, but I'm very much in favour of it:

a system that turns the volume off on your television when the adverts come on, then turns it back on when the program resumes thumbs up cool

That's done on purpose. They know people leave the room to get a drink while the adverts are on, so they increase the volume, so as people can still hear them selling their crap.



I wish someone would invent something that would enable screaming children to be silenced.... that's NOT duck tape grin

I would like someone to invent mobile phones, computers and TVs that are modular, repairable and upgradeable. These things are too flushable and the waste they create is unacceptable. A mobile phone that's current and in good knick at 3 years old is almost unheard of...
