Bad Inventions

It would be a bad thing if a combo copier/fax machine was set up so that hitting the start button in fax mode would automatically redial the last number called. Especially if the difference between fax and copy modes was a simple switch, button, or light which you might not notice.

As in, "Please copy this super-sensitive internal document." "Oops, left it on fax mode again. I wonder if the last fax we sent was to the other side's lawyer?"
