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?

Over-engineeredI was once given a tequila slammer set consisting a small salt shaker, two dinky little saucers with pictures of lime wedges ans accompanying fork things (like those used to eat corn on the cob, but smaller) with plastic limes on the ends.
Firstly, it's not really in the spirit of the slammer to have specialised fiddly implements to do it with, then, who's fucking bright idea was it to introduce sharp pointy implements and delicate china to people getting royally bladdered on Tequila?
Don't forget the odd shaped bottles of vile tasting chilli oils etc.
