I need help with some homework. I'm supposed to report on the worst user interface that i can find that ever existed, give reasons, and what i would have done to make it better. My problem is, i've been searching and i can't find any really bad UI. Anyone ever had experience with a bad interface? It can be anything from a mousetrap to the cockpit of a 747, so long as it's a poor user-centric design. I'm at wit's end trying to find something to research, any help is greatly appreciated.

How about the driver's seat of a Yugo?

Actually, more detail would be adding a cross-ref to the old Citroens... Ugh. Good thing that you can't find those too often in the States, that's for sure.
