I've always been fond of:

The person who makes me, doesn't want me

The person who buys me, doesn't need me

The person who uses me, doesn't even know it

What am I?

Maybe not the hardest, but it's a good one, and most people I ask, don't get it very quickly.

I'm not sure how to spoilers the answer, so I'll just give you time to guess the answer. It's more fun that way.

Tap for spoilerI was going to say baby diapers ...

After using diapers a baby often realizes it has them on and gets irritated and makes that loudly clear for everyone else.

The table doesn't highlight how necessary the literal word 'spoiler' is needed after the 3 colons. Very confusing imo

Agreed, the first time I used it I think I edited my post 3 or 4 times before getting it right.
