Most annoying toys

  • Most annoying toys

    At the top of my list:

    Littlest Pet Shop

    Zoe loves them. She plays with them for hours and makes movies of them that she posts to YouTube. She is obsessed with them.

    They are ridiculously expensive for what they are. So far I've gotten lucky at Tuesday Morning but we got ripped off on EBay. I lucked into a bunch of figures and 2 houses on our local garage sale page recently. The 2 houses are worth $60 each on EBay. I paid $20 total. (Yay me)

    They are constantly coming out with new styles and it's ridiculously expensive for little plastic animals.

    Anyone else annoyed by a certain toy?

    Annoying Toy philosophy 101:

    No one picks up a single toy.

    They all lay on the ground.

    I step on them. Again and again,

    Therefore, all toys are annoying.

    Logical conclusion.

    Ask A to confirm.

      Lol Kris, I love Littlest Pet Shop and Lalaloopsy I can't think of an annoying toy other than ones that don't work as advertised I guess.

        DS has two Melissa and Doug puzzles (like this) that make noise when you put the pieces in. But the mechanism is light-sensitive, so if the pieces aren't in (which they never are), the puzzles make noise when you turn off the lights. Including one that sounds like a siren, which scares the bejeezus out of me every time.

        Anyway, we have loads of annoying toys. Those puzzles are currently the worst.

          We used to have a puzzle like that and I promptly "lost" it.

          Otherwise, my philosophy is same as Ladybug.

              Pretty much anything that needs batteries.

                The K Bros bought a mechanical police robot at a thrift store that simultaneously makes both robotic sounds and police sirens as it stomps across the room. A very close second is the way too life like bloodthirsty automatronic remote control dinosaur that MILK bought for K1 and which still scares the tar out of K2.

                    I adore legos, but geez they're tiny and terrible to step on.

                    I generally can't abide toys that make loud, repetitive noises. I swear, I can feel my nerves vibrate.

                        Anything that makes noise when you walk by it. What I find most annoying are commercials which advertise toys in a way that looks much better than they actually are.
