Counter-productive

1)When you are doing something productive or being productive near a counter or a counter-like surface.

Objects can also be counter productive, as in shelves or knife-holders.

2)When you are productive near something that has counting abilities or data-collecting abilities.

Contrary to popular belief, this does not have a negative connotation.

That organizer Ned bought from the store was very counter-productive!

Mary, you are so counter-productive in the kitchen with your excellent cooking!

The scientists are very counter-productive with that machine that records data by counting each trial!
