Very pretty - but who has to clean underneath?

Frankly, if it includes "detox" in the lists, it's already fairly far down my list of things I trust. We have kidneys and livers - and in my case they work just fine.

I discussed this with our (teenage) son, and we both incline to the view that a lot of these fine disinctions between genres are more imaginary than real.
Personally, I think a lot of it is self-indulgent people who kid themselves that what they're doing is "different" and justifies a new name when it's just derivative. But then I'm an old git who can't get to grips with modern "music".

Someone on eBay (UK) was selling it as having a Latin inscription.

Even better - Bricklink - you get to keep the Lego!

Am I alone in finding IKEA instructions comprehensive and easy to follow? They're clear, logical and effective. And slightly smug but hey, it's IKEA - SMUG is probably a cushion cover with a print of electric rats on it, or something.
Lego throw in extra parts from time to time, and no one ever complains about them.

I'm sure it's a tjhing for difficult deliveries of avocado stones.
The last one on the page is clearly a thing for force-feeding pate de foie gras to food critics.
I would have put the proper accent on pate, of course, but I can't get the char-map to work in Ubuntu.

Perhaps he's worried that he doesn't know the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow.

It's missing the one that bugs me most...Overattentive Staff.
Please - I've ordered my meal. You've delivered it. I'm eating it.
If I require further attention, I'll make eye contact, or catch you as you pass.
PLEASE leave me with my partner to enjoy our meal without doing the "customer service" thing. Or at least, learn to take the hint the first time that we'd rather eat our meal in peace.

When we lived in West London there was a junction near us that was notorious for being painfully slow when the lights were working. From time to time someone would "accidentally" reverse over the control box, and in the few days it took for the borough engineers to fix it, sanity reigned - the queues almost vanished, and there were fewer accidents.
Traffic engineers know all about this, but I'm sure they don't use it more often because it would put them out of a job.

Wouldn't it be simpler if they just displayed a message "Sorry, this site no longer supports your old browser. Try one of these..." and a few links.
Then again, our school only just managed to get shot of IE6!

There's one like that near us where some flavours of SatNav take you down a little tiny lane to a seasonal pedestrian-only ferry across the river Severn.

Hedgehog was supposedly baked in a clay coating by gypsies (that's real ones, not didycoys).

The ABS one is interesting. I got my first car with ABS about four years ago. In those four years I've covered 60,000 miles and apart from doing it on purpose to see if it works, I've only made the ABS actually do anything twice. Both were for deer.

Also deserving of a mention in the counter-example list is Small Soldiers. The "goodies" turn out to be very nasty humans indeed. Well, humanish.
