Crap GadgetsWe wanted a monkey butler and bought one off eBay. Imagine our surprise when we found it was just an ordinary monkey with rabies. Worse: It had no butler training at all. Tell us about your duff technology purchases.
Thanks to Moonbadger for the suggestion

Fucking Valent wireless battery powered thermostatWhat is the point of a fucking thermostat where you have to replaced the batteries every six weeks. Granted you can place the thermostat anywhere in the house but this miniscule advantage is far outweighed by the disadvantages - For example. to replace the batteries I have to prize the faceplate off the front with a screw driver, risking knackering the printed circuit-board inside. Also, when the thermostat runs out of batteries the language defaults to German and I have to go through a 20 stage set-up process to get it back to English again.
There's nothing quite like, every six weeks or so, waking up at 4 in the morning covered in sweat wondering why your radiators are red hot.
Thankyew Valent! Kuntz.
