This is a question Cheap Tat

OneEyedMonster 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?

Bought FOR me, which makes it worse
My sister went through a brief spell where every time she'd go on holiday, she'd buy me one of those little monstrous decorative dragons you get in tourist shops.

I don't read fantasy books, I don't play Dungeons and Dragons and I don't like Lord of the Rings.

I don't like dragons.

But that doesn't stop my sister from threatening to buy me a new one every year, because "it'll add to your collection."

Through a similar method
my mum has bestowed me with a collection of owls. I have no idea why.
