They are designed with one purpose in mind and that is making something you plug into an electrical receptacle safer.

Many people hate them because they are so sensitive they will trip without warning and if you don't know how to reset them they can be annoying.   I suggest you remember their location and how to reset them.   Let them help you in the way they were designed. 

I've had people say they hated GFI protected equipment and wanted me to remove it.   I just explain how they work and convince them they should leave the protection intact.

Any receptacle in the garage, bath, kitchen counter area, crawl space, or outside must have GFI Protection (Exception to this is, if it provides power to a permanently plugged in item such as a garage door opener, timeclock etc.).
