If you haven’t seen it there are others in the worst telephone entry fields. https://imgur.com/a/4f3XB
There’s also a collection of terrible volume controls out there. https://imgur.com/gallery/5BFynxT
Terrible gender controls: https://imgur.com/gallery/HdFhJZE
Edit: added some imgur folders, some Google sites have a more complete collection
Somewhat more controversially there was a recent attempt at “improving” gender input fields.

What bugs me is: why in the fuck are they asking for people's gender? Other than medical questions (where you specify your birth gender), I think for the vast majority of cases the question should not be relevant.
Yeah pretty much, medical and dating information maybe. Anything else is just an invasion of privacy.
