Cheap TatOneEyedMonster remindes us about the crap you can buy in pound shops: "Batteries that lasted about an hour and then died. A screwdriver with a loose handle so I couldn't turn the damn screw, and a tape measure which wasn't at all accurate."
Similarly, my neighbour bought a lawnmower from Argos that was so cheap the wheels didn't go round, it sort of skidded over the grass whilst gently back-combing it.
What's the cheapest, most useless crap you've bought?

ExcitingI used to love cheapo lighters, especially the ones peddled by street vendors.
In the mid 90's my mother bought a shitload in blackpool and they really were astonishingly dangerous. If you turned them up high and kept them lit for more than ten seconds they would spit droplets of flaming liquid fuel like some sort of pyro-fountain.
As a 15y/o pyromaniac I thought they were the best thing ever and asked for several dozen for christmas.
