20 Most Useless Inventions Ever Made

5 – Subway Chin-Rest

• This one actually exists, like, it’s a thing a company actively marketed thinking it would take off. That actually happened.
• This chin-rest appeared in Japan for people unlucky enough not to snag a seat, and though for most people their feet or back will start to hurt after a while, apparently for a very small minority they don’t have the muscle capability to hold their skulls atop their neck
• How these people made it out of the womb I will never know

4 – The Upside-Down Umbrella

• Yes this is a legitimate invention, but purely because someone added a tube to the base of the umbrella that hooks all the way to a water-storing side bag
• This means a person can actually collect their day’s supply of water just by waiting for a rainy day and walking around for a while
• It doesn’t stop insects from flying down your tube, and it’d be useful for the dry parts of the world but – oh wait, it doesn’t rain in dry places, and water runs from the tap

3 – The Banana Slicer

• This is perfect for the kitchen enthusiast who misplaced every single knife they own and need a banana cut into perfect strips immediately or something terrible will happen
• Unfortunately this slicer can’t change shape to match a banana of varying length and size – whatsoever
• Though perhaps you could convince your young infant it’s a fun toy and not a completely useless kitchen utensil

2 – Handerpants

• You know those times when you’re suffering from Alzheimer’s and you’ve completely lost control of your ability to make logical decisions?
• Well maybe you should think about covering up your hands with some underwear because it’s rude to walk around with your palms all out and waving everywhere

1 – The Toilet Paper Hat

• And here we have the best item on the list – a hat for everyone, a convenience which goes without saying
• It’s always frustrating when you’re at an important job interview and you sneeze in your employers face – and it’s even worse when you have uncontrollable diarrhoea and you spray liquid chocolate all over their desk and your resume papers
• But so long as you’re wearing this hat, paper ready to be used 24/7, you’ll get the job for sure
