47 Things That Were Invented Because of People’s Stupidity

Backup beepers are like the universe just had to invent the most obnoxious, ear-splitting sound to remind us, “Hey! This gigantic truck is backing up, in case you hadn’t noticed!” I mean, surely we could’ve come up with a more subtle warning system, but no – we chose the auditory equivalent of a punch in the face. 

It’s as if someone said, “You know what would be a great idea? Let’s make a beeping noise that can be heard in the next county!” Honestly, if you can’t see a dump truck reversing without a blaring alarm, then you have some other issues you need to take care of.
