15 Annoyingly Terrifying Things People Want to Ban Immediately

Is there something you would ban without hesitation if granted the power? You’re not alone. Recently, an internet forum member asked for said examples; here are THEIR top-voted responses. Do you agree?

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

With AI such as Jasper and ChatGPT becoming more common, numerous people are concerned. Several users remind people that there is an entire series about this issue (Terminator), and let’s not forget I, Robot, and The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Of course, others suggest it’s all a conspiracy, and AI is not that technologically advanced…yet.

2. The New “News”

Several individuals agreed, “News that’s not technically news, so they can say whatever they want and present it as truth. I honestly believe so so many of the issues we face today can be traced back to the spin they put on things to obscure objectivity.”

3. Hidden Fees

Over fifteen thousand fee payers declared, “If you want to charge it, you need to include it in the upfront cost. The price you show on the menu/advertisement/website should be the price you pay at checkout. Period.”

4. Recipe Websites That Include the Author’s Lifestory

Almost four thousand people said they don’t like “Recipe websites that take 16 novels of personal story and 20 hours of scrolling to get to the ingredients.”

5. Huge Salaries and Benefits for Politicians

Another individual suggested, “I think all politicians should have to live (with no investment, private property, or outside funding to bolster it) on the average salary of the nation/state they serve.”

6. “Content Tuning Algorithms on Social Media”

Many stated, “A simple and effective thing to say would be, if a social media platform suggests or customizes content viewed by its users, they’re responsible for the content posted and the accuracy of the content.”

7. The High Cost of Medical Bills

Someone declared, “It still baffles me that people in some countries don’t even want to take an ambulance ride to the hospital. People shouldn’t have their bank accounts hostage for an injury or life-threatening conditions they have no control over.”

8. Child Beauty Pageants and Everyone Involved

So many users agreed, “Everyone and anyone who would put a child in that position should go to the worst place imaginable. The kids should go to loving families that know how to raise a child in a trauma-free environment.” Someone joked, “Frank Reynold’s Little Beauties doesn’t count!”

9. Ticketmaster Ticket Sales

I wish we lived in a world where didn’t have to go through this ticket portal to purchase tickets for, any event, honestly. It seems as if Ticketmaster has a lock on the ticket sales game. So much so that when artists tried to sell their tickets separately from the ticket sale mega house, they received pushback, hard!

10. Prank Videos

Somebody expressed, “A good prank is one where the person who was pranked is laughing just as much as the people behind it in the end. Like that one prank movie with Steve-O and Johnny Knoxville, with the giant foam hand high five.”

11. Puppy Mills or Puppy Farms

“My cousin got a purebred dog from a puppy farm, thinking that would mean simple, wholesome, ethical breeding practices. Based on the story she told when they picked the dog up, I’m 80% sure it was a mill.” One continued, “The dog is great, but I feel bad knowing what its mom probably went through.”

12. Random Changes in Road/ Street Names

“Road names changing anywhere along its length. There should be one name for the entire length. No other road with a similar name within 20 miles. Main Street and Main Avenue would require one of them to get a new name.” They continued, “Roads interrupted by a building or something would need two names, one for each part. Sorry Atlanta, you only get one Peachtree Road.

13. Overpriced Prescription Medicines

“Medicine being sold above 12% manufacturing cost” should be illegal. There is no viable reason to sell something that saves lives at such a high cost. I understand that you have to get a return on your investment, but SWEET CHRISTMAS, big pharma, is beyond out of hand.

14. Scientology

Another forum member exclaimed, “I hope all the evil stuff going on there gets exposed someday. I know some people talk about it, and people have tried to infiltrate, but they need to be taken down and completely torn apart.”

15. Pop-Up Ads

One person votes for “The pop-up advertisements that trick you into clicking by making the X icon to have a box that’s only one pixel so you tap on the advert regardless.”

In your opinion, which profession attracts the worst kinds of people? I’ll go first and say sales. Good Lord. I was the manager of a cell phone store, and it’s cutthroat, and why I didn’t make it. It was my first and only time working for a commission, and I was dumbfounded at what people would do to make a sale.
