Humans can make some wonderful inventions. But as with everything in the world, they can also come up with some very bad ones.  In fact some are even capable of endangering human lives. Here is a list of some of the worst inventions in history.

The phone, electricity or the cinema might have been a great success, however the same can’t be said for a toilet paper headband, umbrellas for shoes or a baby wig.  Completely unbelievable, dangerous or utterly ridiculous, these 11 inventions make the cut for this list of the worst inventions in the world.

1/ Umbrellas for shoes

Do you hate having wet feet? Get yourself prepared with these shoe umbrellas that you can clip to the front of your feet.  You might have dry feet but you certainly won’t be the height of fashion…

How did someone ever come up with this invention?  This toilet paper headband just makes those wearing it utterly ridiculous!

3/ A device for using your smartphone with your nose

At what point would we be so addicted to smartphones that we’d need this awful device? This device that sends shivers down the spine allows you to use your beloved phone with your nose!

4/ A tray for your steering wheel

Human stupidity doesn’t seem to have any limits. Why does the driver need a tray, they don’t need so much space for their food? It’s even more ridiculous when you find out that it was meant for a computer.  Self driving cars haven’t been commercialised yet!

5/ Noodle ventilator

An unusual invention which is also slightly ridiculous.  If you can’t be bothered blowing on your noodles to cool them down you can use this specific fan!

6/ Baby sleep-suit come floor duster

Some will say that this is a wonderful invention! A sleepsuit-mop is a double-function pre-natal garment… as well as keeping your baby warm it also helps to clean the floor at the same time, thanks to its micro-fibre fringes.What a great way to make your child do housework! Although we wouldn’t advise that you use it publicly…
