I feel like we need to refocus this thread on unambiguously bad ideas. The problem is that it seems like one trait of a really bad idea is that it must be boring (because if it's exciting or interesting then it's not really a "bad" idea to at least some people). And coming up with boring ideas runs against the appeal of sharing things in a thread with each other. So we'd just have to list things like "clean the bathtub with cleaner that isn't as good as another cleaner that you could have used", or "leave one of the clocks off by an hour during daylight savings time", or something. I guess this post was a bad idea.

a terrible idea:
french fries (most likely of the steak fry variety) are served standing up in a short bowl-type vessel with an inch of your favorite dipping sauce in the bottom. this eliminates the need to dip into a sauce. i think it would have to be a teak fry so it was sturdy and crispy and the outside to eliminate sog.

steak not teak
see, the terrible version of that idea is that the fries are served upside-down, with the dipping bowl on top, so it spill all over the table.

Fries made from teak wood so that they don't go soggy when they're sitting in dipping sauce?

man I don't know if this qualifies after Z S's soul searching comment, but:
a smaller camera that you can attach to the flash shoe of your big, professional camera. so while you're taking a picture, you can take a smaller picture. plus, people won't know which camera to look at, so you might catch them either looking up out of the frame or down out of the frame.

worse yet, put a giant Pom juice bottle on wheels, label it "M♥P", and use it as a mop bucket (like the above) at grocery stores, restaurants, and the like. to complete the illusion, you could even decorate the individual strands ofthe mop head with maroon beads that resembled pomegranate seeds.
