Pascals as units of pressure is possibly the worst, although millimeters for large distances is also a poor selection.

Of course wit the metric system having had units sized to make the math convenient instead of being sized to be units of useful size, what else could be expected??
Metric bolt sizing is probably the best example of something being created by mathematicians rather than engineers.
