- Pool Tables - my hubby just had to have one in our new playroom when we got it built. Now it is used about once a year when we have a party. I use it as a folding table for my laundry now.
- Boom Boxes in cars - I don't really know what it is called but when the bass is up, you can hear the boom boom boom of the car next to you which is driven by some out of control teenager.
- Cigarettes - I see too many teenagers wasting their health on these just to look cool. My hubby started to smoke when he was about 13 and smoked for 32 years before was able to stop. He says he hasn't quit; he just hadn't had one in over 10 years (hey, whatever works for him is good enough for me).

have to agree that we could all live just fine without these inventions! and LOL about the pool table-we have a hockey table-only it holds up quilts and fabric!
My dh is one of those who loves to have the bass turned up in his car, so I definitely agree about that one and cigaretts...what an awful addiction to have!
ohhhh noooo!!!! We are doing an addition on the house and my hubby and father want a pool table...why dod I see it having the fate of yours! :)
Excellent things to wish for. I don't have a pool table at this time but I know alot of people who don't use thiers. As for the bass...I totally agree 100%. I cannot stand it. So annoying! And AMEN for the idea of cigerettes never being invented. That is an excellent one that I had not thougt of but totally support! I still cannot wrap my mind around why people want to intentionally risk dying for a fad or a quick fix.
Congrats for you hubby for quitting that is awesome.
Great list Pat. I totally am with you on all of them. Home knitting machines were another white elephant of the 70s. Everyone had to have one and people who actually liked knitting found they didn't like the antisocial side of using the machine. So they ended up in the basement.
Good ones... or should I say bad ones! :)
I agree with the boom boom..how anoying is that...and I still smoke..and hope to give it up one day..
