This kind of Japanese is sometimes known as "chindogu" (link).

"Chindōgu (珍道具) is the Japanese art of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular problem. However, Chindōgu has a distinctive feature: anyone actually attempting to use one of these inventions, would find that it causes so many new problems, or such significant social embarrassment, that effectively it has no utility whatsoever. Thus, Chindōgu are sometimes described as 'unuseless' – that is, they cannot be regarded as 'useless' in an absolute sense, since they do actually solve a problem; however, in practical terms, they cannot positively be called 'useful'."

I have a whole book of them; very funny.

Holy crap I couldn't stop laughing. My sides are hurting so bad. It's a cool concept, but not too practical. :stongue: :stongue: :stongue:

The problem arises when someone tries ordering a coke from you and when u don't work, they kick ten shades outta you.
It solves one problem but causes another.
