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

Not so much crap gadgets
just a crap owner. One of the great things about getting divorced is suddenly finding you don't have to justify buying stupid and pointless material possessions. Within weeks of moving into my own place I bought:

a £1500 road bike - ridden it 5 times since.
a mountain bike - see above
a PS3 - only own 1 game and can't remember how to play that.
an acoustic guitar - still can't play it after 2 years
a bose surround sound system - always forget to turn it on
and
a £200 remote control spitfire (about 70cm long) - the bloke in the shop told me it was for intermediate and experienced flyers only. I lied as I have never flown one before. Took it to a safe private field. Managed to get it in the air, realised it was very fast and hard to control. Nosedived it into the ground at high speed. It had broken into several hundred pieces that went into the bin shortly after.

I'm confused - don't most divorced men have no money at all?
Or am I missing something?

I should have also added that I bought the PS3
