This is a question Crap Gadgets

We 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

My leg is on fire!
One Christmas I received a very strange gift from my mum and dad. It was a keyring, but on it was a little metal rod that heated up to a high temperature when activated, so that it could be inserted into frozen car door locks and melt the ice.

A handy tool you may think.

However it had an annoying habit of activating the super-heated rod thing while still in my pocket I threw it away after the 3rd time it burnt through the lining of my trousers.

I had one of those
I could never work out how it got so hot from one AAA battery. Anyway, pissing on the lock is the traditional manner of thawing it, although not always suitable if you're taking a young lady home after a hot date. Unless she's German and likes that sort of thing.

3rd time?
What did you do? Ensure it burned a "legitimate" hole big enough to get your hand through? Eh? Eh? I know your sort.
